This week’s Market Monday takes us to Lake Stevens — a city that’s been moving a little differently from its neighbors.
While surrounding areas are showing clear signs of a slowdown, Lake Stevens is still holding strong:
Homes are continuing to move quickly
Sellers are staying close to their asking price
Inventory is increasing, but demand remains steady
Days on market have only ticked up by one day compared to last year
What this actually means:
Buyers have more choices — but not enough to shift the power completely.
Sellers still have leverage, as long as pricing is dialed in.
Lake Stevens is one of the more balanced markets in Snohomish County right now, and that balance is exactly why it’s worth watching monthly.
Thinking about buying or selling in Lake Stevens? I’m always happy to walk through what the numbers mean for your situation so you can make a confident move.
