The best time of year to sell a house in Olympia, WA
In Olympia, WA, homes have sold for the most in July and the least in December. Over the last three years the gap between those two months worked out to about 5% of a typical year's price.
The short version: list in July if you want the highest price, and expect December to be the softest month of the year.
Speed follows a slightly different calendar. Homes in Olympia, WA have gone under contract fastest in April. That is not always the same month prices peak, because the busiest month usually brings the most competition from other sellers too.
The most homes come on the market in May. More listings means more buyers looking, but also more homes competing with yours.
This is based on three years of Redfin's published sales data for the Olympia, WA area, through May 2026. It is a pattern, not a promise — one house in good condition priced correctly beats the calendar every time.
