If you're in the market for a new home in Yakima you'll be paying more this year than last as home values increase in the valley. According to Cory Bemis, owner of Yakima's John L. Scott Real Estate the median home sales price is now at $366,111, a 3.13% increase from last year’s median price of 355,000.
A STABILIZING MARKET IN YAKIMA
Bemis says this shows a healthy appreciation in home values as the market continues to stabilize just before the slower winter months ahead.
In October, a total of 175 homes were sold in Yakima, marking a 6.7% increase from the 164 homes sold in October 2024.
SO FAR SO GOOD
Year-to-date, Bemis says sales also experienced a significant boost, with 1,586 homes sold so far in 2025, a 10.5% rise from the 1,435 homes sold during the same period last year. As
