Lake Stevens Real Estate by Price Point — Which One Are You In?

If you’ve been watching the Lake Stevens real estate market, you already know it’s been heating up again — but here’s the thing: not all price points are behaving the same way.

In this video, I’m breaking it down by price range so you can get a crystal-clear picture of what’s actually happening whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on your equity.

Under $500,000 — A Vanishing Market
Inventory is nearly gone in this range, with only 3 residential homes available. Most of what’s left isn’t move-in ready and often appeals more to investors or developers. Sellers in this tier are taking a hit too — averaging 2.3% below list price and longer days on market. If you’re a buyer, this might be your last shot at buying under $500K in Lake Stevens.

$501,000 – $749,000 — Where the Action Is
This is the hottest segment in Lake Stevens right now. Inventory is healthy, homes are moving fast, and buyers are active — but selective. Homes that are priced well and show well are flying off the market. But if you’re a seller, don’t skip the prep — competition is stiff and pricing strategy matters more than ever.

$750,000 – $999,999 — Slower, But Stable
This range is more balanced. Homes are still selling, but they’re taking a bit longer. Buyers here are doing their homework — they want value and they’re not rushing. Sellers: make sure you’re bringing your A-game if you want top dollar.

$1M+ — Inventory High, Buyers Cautious
There’s no shortage of million-dollar listings in Lake Stevens — but buyers at this level are choosy. The good news? Days on market dropped by 36% month-over-month, meaning the right homes are starting to move again. But strategy is key. If you’re in this tier, you need a plan tailored to your unique property.

Bottom Line?
What’s happening at $500K is not what’s happening at $1M. And that’s exactly why understanding your specific price point is crucial.

Whether you’re thinking of buying, selling, or just want to stay ahead of the curve — knowing the stats is power. And knowing what they mean for you? That’s where I come in.
