The Spokane Valley Market
What I know about buying here.
Spokane Valley tends to offer more value per square foot than central Spokane while staying close to everything the metro area offers. The market here is active and buyers need to be ready to move when the right home comes up. New construction has been happening on the eastern edges of the Valley and there is a solid inventory of established homes in the central and western portions. Prices have stabilized after the run-up of 2021 and 2022 and buyers are finding more reasonable conditions than they faced two years ago.
