The pace answer comes from the latest closings

If you are buying in Renton, WA, the question is not whether there is activity. The question is whether recent closings give you enough confidence to move carefully, and March 2026 says yes with 136 sales and a median sold price of $771,500.
There were 136 closed sales last month. That is enough volume for me to treat the market as active, not quiet, and that changes how I advise a buyer. I would use the $402 median price per square foot as my second check. It helps me avoid overreacting to one larger or smaller home and keeps the decision tied to value rather than emotion. Watch the most recent sale price first. Compare homes by price per square foot. Then decide whether the property you want in Renton, WA lines up with the last closed market or sits too far away from it.
