Port Orchard, WA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Port Orchard closes a lot of homes into a narrow band, which makes its median unusually informative: sales over the last six months land close together, so the citywide number is a real anchor rather than an average of extremes.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 266
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $599,990
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $267
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $500,000 and $740,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 266 closed sales in Port Orchard over the last six months, with a median closing price of $599,990. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $500,000 and $740,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 93% of the Port Orchard closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 266 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $240 and $321 per square foot.

Where Port Orchard sale prices land

Among the 64 Washington markets with a published band, Port Orchard's middle-half spread ($500,000 to $740,000) ranks 27th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 22 days, across 201 Port Orchard closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 32 days, across 209 Port Orchard closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Port Orchard angle

Port Orchard's closed sales cluster more than most. Across 266 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $599,990, and the middle half of sales closed between $500,000 and $740,000, tighter than most markets we track. That compression is an advantage: $599,990 is a credible first estimate for an ordinary property, and any comp set that lands far from it deserves a second look before you trust it. The range does open out further above the median than below it, so an upper-half subject deserves closer matching than the narrow band alone would suggest. With the count of closings close to typical for the markets we follow, a modest number of filters is affordable, which is a reason to choose them deliberately.

From market read to offer price

A tight market makes the next step easier: the citywide anchor sits close to most homes, and a report only has to explain the gap. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Port Orchard address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
