How much does a house cost in Puyallup right now?

From July through September 2026, single-family residential homes in Puyallup sold for a median of $577,500 — down 3.0% from a year earlier — at about $280 per square foot, according to NWMLS InfoSparks. Condos sold for a median of about $333,000. Homes sold at 100% of list price with a median of 23 days on market, and supply rose to about 3.9 months. At the median price, with 10% down and a 7.4% 30-year rate, principal and interest is roughly $3,600 a month before taxes and insurance.

It’s the first question almost every buyer asks me about Puyallup, and a lot of sellers ask it too: “What are homes actually going for?”

Here’s the honest, current answer — and what it means for your budget or your sale. For a bigger picture of the area, visit our Puyallup community page and the Pierce County Relocation Hub.

What I take from this: more homes are selling than a year ago, prices have softened slightly, and buyers have more choices. Well-priced homes still sell at full price in a few weeks.

If you’re selling

The median is a starting point, not your price. With supply up and prices slightly lower than last year, sellers who price to today’s comparables are the ones still getting full price. Here’s how we approach selling a home in Puyallup.
