Everett Washington Housing Market Update March 2026
By: Brandice Raybourn
Quick Take:
Sometimes I look at these numbers and think this is exactly why I publish these reports every single month.
Details matter.
A few very noticeable shifts happened across different price points, and two ranges completely changed compared to just last month.
Some ranges are heating up.
Some are steady.
Some are taking their time.
And two shifted fast.
Inventory is picking up overall, but the most noticeable change is the number of buyers who showed up in specific price points last month.
If you’re buying or selling, your experience completely depends on where you sit.
Let’s walk through each housing type and then break down residential resale by price range.
Whole City Overview
Everett is sitting around the mid 500s with a median price of 577K.
Homes overall are landing very close to full price when positioned correctly. At first glance that makes it look like sellers have all the leverage and buyers are paying whatever is asked.
But when you zoom in, you see that a few specific ranges are holding that number up.
Inventory did increase last month compared to the slower winter months. But it is not evenly spread out. It is concentrated in certain areas, which means when you zoom out it looks like “there’s plenty of inventory,” but in reality it’s not overwhelming across every housing type and price band.
Buyers are active.
Sellers who price correctly are moving.
Sellers who overreach are sitting.
That nuance matters.

New Construction
New construction is steady, but it is not outperforming resale in Everett.
Several new construction homes did not sell last month. Builders are moving inventory, but buyers are comparing resale options carefully.
Homes are sitting longer here, and sellers are getting about 97.6 percent of original list price. That tells you buyers are negotiating, especially when resale feels like a better value.
If you’re considering new construction, do not assume it is take it or leave it. Incentives, credits, and terms still matter.
And remember, most builders pay for your buyer’s agent. Bring one with you on your first visit. If you don’t have one yet… call me 😉

Condos
Condos currently have the most inventory in Everett.
And..They are moving quickly.
Median days on market is 22 and sellers are receiving 99 percent of original list price. That tells you buyers are comfortable paying near full price when the unit feels right and the association is solid.
If you’re buying a condo, due diligence matters. Review HOA financials. Look at maintenance history. Make sure you understand the risk of special assessments before you close.
If you’re selling, pricing correctly still brings strong attention.

Townhomes
Townhomes are one of the other fastest moving property types in Everett right now.
Out of the 21 that sold last month, the average time to go under contract was just 6 days. That is fast.
Homes are landing at full price. Buyers who feel priced out of detached homes are landing here and they are not hesitating.
If you’re selling a townhome that is well maintained and in a good location, the market is responding quickly.
If you’re buying, be ready. There is very little negotiation happening on the clean, desirable units. If you want leverage, look at the ones that have been sitting.

Residential Resale by Price Point
Under 599K
This range is steady and active.
Homes are selling in under a month and sellers are often getting exactly what they listed for without price reductions.
An average of 15 buyers walked through the 11 homes that sold. That tells you demand is real here.
First time buyers and budget conscious buyers are competing in this space.
If you’re selling, presentation and pricing still matter.
If you’re buying, expect competition on updated homes.

600K to 749K
This feels like one of the strongest sections of Everett right now.
Out of 19 homes that sold, the average days on market was 6 days.
That is fast for nearly 20 homes in one month.
This feels like a sweet spot for Everett, right alongside townhomes and condos. It is one of the most active price points right now.
If you’re selling, pricing correctly from day one is working better than testing high.
If you’re buying, hesitation can cost you.

750K to 949K
This range shifted hard compared to just last month.
Days on market dropped from 74 to 17 based on the 8 homes that sold.
That is not a subtle change. That is a behavior shift.
Some of this may be winter inventory finally finding buyers. Some of it may simply be buyers who were waiting finally stepping back in.
The key takeaway is this range no longer feels slow.
Buyers are showing up.
Homes are moving.
Inventory is clearing.
If you’re selling here, the opportunity window is opening.
If you’re buying, expect stronger competition than you saw even a few weeks ago.

950K to 1.149M
This range also tightened up.
Days on market dropped sharply and the average showing count climbed to 34 buyers walking through before going pending.
That is a lot of foot traffic, especially if you’re living in the home while it’s listed.
Buyers are not casually browsing here. They are watching and acting when something checks the boxes.
If you’re selling, pricing and condition matter more than ever.
If you’re buying, be prepared for competition when the right home hits.

1.150M and Up
This range moves differently.
Homes are taking longer and buyers are analytical. Sellers in this range received about 90.8 percent of original list price.
That means real price adjustments and real negotiations happened.
When buyers have more purchasing power, they tend to be more strategic and less emotional.
If you’re selling here, overpricing will cost you time and eventually money.
If you’re buying here, patience and negotiation can work in your favor.

Brandice’s Final Thoughts on Everett
This is one of those months where you can actually see the market shifting in real time. Some price ranges stayed steady, but others changed quickly, especially in the mid range where buyer activity picked up fast. When you zoom out, Everett looks balanced. When you zoom in, you can clearly see where buyers showed up and where things are still slower.
• Buyer Tip
Pay attention to momentum. Some price ranges are heating up quickly, and waiting too long in those segments can cost you. In other ranges, you still have room to be strategic and negotiate.
• Seller Tip
If your price range just picked up activity, this is your window. The market is rewarding homes that are priced right and ready. If you miss that window, you risk getting stuck in the slower segments.
What This Means for Everett Buyers and Sellers
Everett is layered right now.
Entry level is steady.
Mid range is active.
Upper mid range just woke up.
Luxury is slower and strategic.
Townhomes are hot.
Condos are competitive but balanced.
Your strategy should match your price range and property type.
This is exactly why I publish these reports monthly. When you zoom out, the market looks simple. When you zoom in, you see where buyers are actually showing up and where sellers need to adjust.
You do not need to time the market. You need to understand it.

Everett Real Estate Questions – March 2026
It’s neither, and that’s the part most people miss.
Everett is moving at different speeds depending on price range and property type. Entry-level and mid-range homes are still moving quickly, while higher price points are taking longer and seeing more negotiation.
When you look at the city as a whole, it can feel like everything is balanced. But when you break it down, you can clearly see where buyers are active and where sellers are having to adjust.
In Everett, some homes are moving very fast, and others are not.
Townhomes and homes in the 600K to 749K range are going under contract in just days. That tells you demand is strong where affordability still lines up for most buyers.
At the same time, homes in the 1.150M and up range are taking significantly longer to sell. That’s not because nothing is happening there, it’s because the buyer pool is smaller and more selective.
Speed right now is tied directly to price range.
Yes, and in some areas they showed up in a big way last month.
The 750K to 949K range saw a major shift with homes moving much faster than they were just one month prior. That tells you buyers who had been waiting stepped back into the market.
In the 950K to 1.149M range, the number of showings before going pending was high. That means buyers are not just browsing, they’re watching closely and acting when something fits.
Buyers are active, but they’re intentional.
This is where the numbers can be misleading.
Inventory has increased, but it is not evenly spread across the market. Most of the available homes are concentrated in condos, townhomes, new construction, and lower price points.
At the same time, some ranges like 950K to 1.149M actually have very limited inventory.
So while the total number of homes for sale is higher, your experience depends on where your home sits within that mix.
The data doesn’t point to a simple yes or no.
There are opportunities right now on both sides, but they depend on positioning. Sellers in high-demand ranges are still seeing strong activity when priced correctly, while buyers in slower segments may have more room to negotiate.
The better approach is to understand how your specific price point is behaving and make decisions based on that, not the overall market headline.
