Blaine and Birch Bay Real Estate Market Update — August 2026

August brought more activity to the Blaine and Birch Bay housing market than we saw one year ago.

The median sale price reached $566,975, up 5.0% from August 2025. Closed sales increased 15.2%, and pending sales rose 12.5%.

Inventory also grew, but buyer activity largely kept pace. There were 208 homes for sale, up 5.1%, while pending-based months of supply remained unchanged at 5.8 months.

One important detail lies beyond the headline numbers: the median time on market increased from 20 days to 37 days. Buyers are still purchasing homes, but many properties are taking longer to attract an acceptable offer.

These figures include residential properties and condominiums throughout NWMLS Area 880, covering Blaine and Birch Bay.
