Annual Reports

The State of the State’s Housing Report

This report gives an overview of housing in Washington State, focusing on recent legislation, demographic and economic conditions, homeownership, house prices, apartment rents, housing affordability, and homelessness. The 2024 report also provides a review of the Buildable Lands Reports prepared by seven counties in preparation for the current round of comprehensive plan updates. This document satisfies the requirement for the Washington Center for Real Estate Research to report to the Washington State legislature pursuant to RCW 36.70A.610. The aim is to publish an updated report on an annual basis each October.
