For a seller in Renton, WA, the issue is not simply whether prices moved. It is whether the recent numbers support a confident list strategy, and March 2026 gives me enough to work with $771,500 median sold price, 136 closed sales, and $118,754,433 in total volume.
Last month's total volume reached $118,754,433. I pay attention to that because it tells me there was enough money in the market to support serious pricing conversations. I would pair that with the $790,500 estimated value for April 2026. The estimate is useful, but I would never let it speak louder than the closed price when I am helping a seller in Renton, WA. Review the sold price first. Compare it with the estimate. Then decide how much flexibility you want before your property hits the market.
