Whether you’re searching for your next rental or looking to get the most out of your investment, the spring market rewards those who move with intention. Aaron and Diane are here to break down what’s happening in this budding Seattle rental season.

Video Transcript – March 2026 Seattle Rental Market Update:

[Aaron]: Curious as to what is happening in the world of property management here in Seattle? Well, you’re in the right place! Let’s start with a look at the latest stats. Starting with days on market, we are trending down as we head into spring. Currently sitting at 26 days, which is down from last month, and sitting exactly where we were this time a year ago! I would be remiss to not mention that RE/MAX Integrity Property Management is getting our listings rented far faster than that. Typically leased within a week. Just saying. As for vacancy rates, we’re currently sitting at about 3.825% in King County, which is actually up about .125%, so all in all, an incredibly healthy rental market, indeed. Lastly, let’s take a look at  average rents. In King County, the median rent for a 3-bedroom single family home is still sitting around$3,750 per month, which is just a few dollars off of last month
