Zillow's modeled home value for Spokane ran $404,211 (down 0.2% year-over-year), a Redfin-style median sale price ran $418,900 (down 1.44% year-over-year), and a separate, lower approximate median-sale citation ran around $395,000. All sources agree prices are flat to slightly declining as of 2026, not appreciating.
The Real, Verified Comparison Against Every Puget Sound Market in This Dataset
Against Tacoma's own $485,000-$507,000 range (itself already well below Seattle's $865,000-plus range), Spokane's $395,000-$418,900 range represents a further, real, meaningful affordability advantage -- genuinely the most affordable of Washington's Tier A+ markets covered in this build, not merely comparable to Tacoma's discount.
Prices Are Genuinely Flat to Slightly Declining, Not a Sharp Correction
Unlike Las Vegas's currently sharp, disclosed 2026 price decline (covered elsewhere in this project's broader dataset), Spokane's price movement runs closer to flat with a modest decline -- a genuinely different, more stable pattern, consistent with the pattern disclosed for Tacoma elsewhere in this Washington build.
Spokane County's Property Tax Rate Adds a Further Real Advantage
As detailed on the property-taxes topic page, Spokane County's effective property tax rate runs close to the Washington statewide average (0.84%), genuinely lower than Pierce County's highest-in-the-state 0.94% -- a real, additional cost advantage for Spokane buyers on top of the lower purchase price itself.
