Eastern Washington’s Apartment Market Shows Resilience

Kidder Mathews has released its Q3 2025 Eastern Washington Apartment Market Dynamics report, which includes the latest sales data for 20 counties, including Spokane, Benton, Franklin, Chelan, and Yakima.

Compiled by Vice President Max Frame of Kidder Mathews’ Simon | Anderson Multifamily Team, key insights from the study include that the region saw a strong start to the year, but in the second quarter of the year, it experienced a significant slowdown, with only seven sales recorded across Eastern Washington.

Despite the slowdown, there’s been a recent increase in activity, with eight sales in July—an encouraging sign for the second half of the year. Year-to-date, Spokane remains Eastern Washington’s most active market, accounting for 18 of the region’s 26 total sales in the first half of the year.

“After a slower second quarter, Eastern Washington’s apartment market is already showing its resilience,” said Frame. “Sales activity has picked up meaningfully in recent weeks, underscoring continued investor confidence in the region’s fundamentals.”
