Chelan/Douglas Sales Soar Despite National Slowdown
Last week, the NAR reported May’s sales increased 0.8% month-over-month but are down 0.7% compared to last year.
In contrast, Chelan and Douglas counties defy the national trend, with month-over-month sales up 21% in units and 25% in dollar volume driven mainly by financed transactions in the $500K to $1M range.
Comparing May 2025 to 2024, transaction volume is up 21% and dollar volume up 19%, with the $500K to $1M price range remaining the key driver.
Unsurprisingly, May YTD shows continued strong performance in Chelan and Douglas counties, especially in the $500K to $1M price range.
