The market slowed noticeably in November, and there’s no easy way to put it. Activity declined across nearly all price ranges, with the exception of two sales over $2 million. Unit volume was down 43% month over month, while dollar volume decreased 35%. The final two weekdays of the month falling on holidays likely contributed to the slowdown.
Even compared to last year, November 2025 was a challenging month, with unit sales down 17% and dollar volume down 11%.
Year-to-date, the market remains strong, with unit volume up 7% and dollar volume increasing 5%.
The Wenatchee market saw a significant slowdown in November, with unit sales down 48% and dollar volume declining 44% compared to October.
Year-over-year results show a similar trend, though not as dramatic. One notable bright spot was the luxury segment, with five homes selling for over $1 million.
Year-to-date figures reflect that Wenatchee continues to outpace last year’s performance.
Relative to Wenatchee and the Upper Valley, Chelan had an exceptional month, with unit sales up 23% and dollar volume increasing 4% compared to last year.
Year-to-date, Chelan continues to outpace 2024, with unit sales up 16% and dollar volume increasing 3%.
Unfortunately, the Upper Valley fared more similarly to Wenatchee than Chelan, with unit sales down 35% and dollar volume declining 18%.
However, like the rest of the region, the Upper Valley has still had a strong year overall, with unit sales up 4.4% and dollar volume increasing 3.5%.
