Everett Housing Market Update | February 2026

Everett Housing Market Update | February 2026

By: Brandice Raybourn

This Everett housing market update reflects January 2026 activity and shows a market that slowed noticeably across the board. This is one of the quieter months we typically see seasonally, but what stands out right now is that nearly every housing type and price point is taking longer, not just one segment of the market.

Everett is not behaving like a single market, but unlike earlier months, the differences between price points are less about speed and more about patience and buyer selectivity. Buyers are still active and touring homes, but they are slower to commit, and sellers are having to wait longer for traction.

This report breaks Everett down by housing type — including new construction, condos, and townhomes — and then further by residential resale price points only, from under $599K through $1.150M+. It shows where activity has slowed, where buyers are still engaged, and how sellers are being affected in real time. These are the same types of reports I use to help clients make informed decisions around pricing, timing, and strategy.

Now, let’s get into the numbers.

Everett Whole City Snapshot

Across the city, Everett saw 240 homes for sale, 127 under contract, and 67 sold in January. Median days on market rose to 42 days, and homes sold for 96.8% of original list price, with a median sales price of $527,500.

This tells us the market is still moving, but buyers are taking their time. Homes are no longer rewarded simply for being listed. Pricing, condition, and value matter more, and sellers should expect longer timelines than what we saw late last year.

This is not a frozen market — but it is clearly slower and less forgiving.

New Construction in Everett

New construction activity slowed as well. There were 21 homes for sale, 17 under contract, and 6 sold in January. Median days on market came in at 21 days, with homes selling at 100% of original list price and a median price of $572,493.

Builders are still seeing buyer interest, but momentum has cooled. Buyers are touring, comparing, and negotiating more carefully. Incentives and flexibility continue to matter, even though pricing has held relatively firm.

New construction remains one of the steadier segments in Everett, but it is no longer moving effortlessly.

Condos in Everett

Condos remain one of the slowest-moving segments. January showed 70 condos for sale, 34 under contract, and 29 sold. Median days on market sat at 42 days, with homes selling for 96.5% of original list price and a median sales price of $340,000.

This is a price-sensitive part of the market. Buyers have options and are willing to wait. Older buildings, higher HOA dues, or units that need work are sitting longer.

Condos are still one of the most affordable entry points in Everett and Snohomish County, but sellers should expect negotiations and longer timelines.

Townhomes in Everett

Townhomes are holding up better than condos, but they are not immune to the slowdown. January showed 30 homes for sale, 29 under contract, and 14 sold. Median days on market increased to 28 days, with homes selling for 97.6% of original list price and a median price of $555K.

Demand still exists, especially for newer or well-located units, but buyers are comparing more closely and taking longer to commit. Realistic pricing continues to be key.

This segment feels closer to balanced than competitive right now.

Residential Resale Price Point Breakdown

Residential resale data only

Under $599K

There were 26 homes for sale, 19 under contract, and 11 sold in January. Median days on market climbed to 41 days, with homes selling for 96.6% of original list price. Homes averaged 7 showings before going pending.

This range is slower than it was late last year, but buyer activity still exists. Homes that are priced correctly are moving, just not as quickly. Sellers need to be patient and realistic.

$600K–$749K

This range had 30 homes for sale, 26 under contract, and 8 sold. Median days on market came in at 38 days, with homes selling for 97.6% of original list price and averaging 14 showings before pending.

Buyers are active here but cautious. Homes that feel overpriced or compromised are sitting. Strategy and positioning matter more than ever.

$750K–$949K

There were 13 homes for sale, 8 under contract, and 7 sold in this range. Median days on market jumped to 74 days, with homes selling for 95.4% of original list price and averaging 9 showings before pending.

This is where the slowdown is most visible. Buyers are taking their time and expecting homes to justify the price. Sellers should plan for longer timelines and fewer emotional offers.

$950K–$1.149M

January showed 8 homes for sale, 3 under contract, and 1 sold. Median days on market were 35 days, with sold homes achieving 100% of original list price and averaging 12 showings before pending.

This range is selective. Buyer interest exists, but buyers are waiting for the right property. Homes that stand out can still perform well.

$1.150M+

There were 10 homes for sale, 6 under contract, and 0 sold in January. Because nothing closed, median days on market and percent of list price are unavailable. However, homes that went under contract averaged 25 showings, which tells an important story.

This range is still active, but transactions are slower to close. Buyer engagement is there, inventory is limited, but timing is stretched.

Final Thoughts

January was a slower month for Everett across nearly every category. This is typical seasonally, but the takeaway is clear: homes are sitting longer regardless of housing type or price point.

Buyers are active, but cautious. Sellers need patience, accurate pricing, and a clear strategy. The market is still functioning — just at a slower, more deliberate pace.

You do not need to time the market.
You need to understand it.
