The Short Report | Suncadia & Tumble Creek Jan 2026

THE SHORT REPORT: Suncadia & Tumble Creek | January 2026

Chaos to Clarity in the Cascades

As we kick off 2026, the Suncadia and Tumble Creek markets are offering a rare window of opportunity. While the broader Seattle market is seeing seasonal softness, our local mountain enclave is showing a unique "Buyer’s Market" profile that I haven't seen in years.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to shift from "defense to offense" in your real estate portfolio, that moment has arrived.

Inventory Growth: Suncadia’s inventory has surged over 100% compared to last year, meaning you actually have choices.

Price Per Sq Ft: While Cle Elum at large sits at a median of $370, the premium for the Suncadia lifestyle remains firm at $590+, reflecting the enduring value of the resort amenities.

Negotiation Room: Homes are currently selling for an average of 2% to 10% below list price. In a world of "unrelenting competition," this is your chance to breathe and negotiate.

The Golf Advantage: Membership & Lifestyle

For those looking at Tumble Creek or Suncadia, the discounted golf and sport memberships are the current "hidden gem."

Exclusive Access: Memberships provide priority access to the Prospector and Rope Rider courses, with no greens fees for members.

Tumble Creek: This remains the peak of exclusivity, with access to the private Tom Doak-designed course and The Great House.

Why Now?

In my decades of building businesses and analyzing markets, I’ve learned that the best investment you can make is in an asset that aligns with your life’s vision. The current "chaos" of increased inventory and seasonal slowdown is exactly where the strategic buyer finds their edge.

Don't let life happen to you. Take control of your future in the Cascades.
