What's going on in Washington State?
Housing supply is going absolutely vertical.
And just broke 29,000 listings in August 2026.
That's up 128% in the last three years. And the highest level for August back to 2017.
Homeowners are fleeing Washington State in droves, and tech layoffs are surging.
The locals who want to stay are priced out of the market, with the typical home costing $591,000.
This is a nasty combination for home values, which are already declining.
Washington ranks our biggest 'downward forecast' state in 2027.
