Snohomish Housing Market Update

April 2026

By: Brandice Raybourn

Quick Take:

This month feels pretty steady.

Homes are moving, buyers are active, and most of the market is behaving consistently. But once you look a little closer, you start to see where a few numbers need context to actually make sense.

Because this month, a few stats are being driven by very small sample sizes.

Let’s break down what is actually happening.

Snohomish Overall Market

The overall market is active and moving at a healthy pace.

Homes are going pending quickly, and sellers are still getting very close to their asking price. That tells you buyers are engaged and willing to act when something feels right.

But this is not a market where everything flies off the shelf no matter what.

Buyers are still paying attention.

If a home is priced well and shows well, it moves quickly.
If not, it sits.

That balance is what makes this market feel stable instead of overheated.

New Construction

New construction is still the slower side of the market.

Buyers have options here, and they are using that to their advantage. They are comparing homes, looking at finishes, and paying attention to incentives.

That is why homes are taking longer to sell compared to the rest of the market.

This is not a demand problem.
It is a choice problem.

Buyers are not forced to rush, so they don’t.

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

This is one of the biggest shifts from last month.

On paper, condos look like they suddenly started moving fast.

But this is where context matters.

Last month, condos were sitting. This month, 4 sold and that dropped days on market significantly.

What likely happened is that the more desirable or better maintained units finally sold.

Because if you look at what is still available, there are still condos sitting with higher days on market that buyers are passing on.

So this is not a full turnaround.

It is selective movement.

Buyers are stepping in when the right unit shows up, but they are still ignoring the ones that miss the mark.

Townhomes

Townhomes continue to feel steady and consistent.

This is a comfortable space for buyers. They get more room than a condo without stretching into higher single-family price points.

Because of that, demand here stays pretty reliable.

Homes are moving without needing aggressive pricing, and buyers are not hesitating as much as they are in higher price ranges.

Wondering how this applies to your home or your price range?

Every situation is different. I’ll tailor this to your goals, timing, and what you’re trying to figure out.

Residential Resale Price Point Breakdown

This is where things get more nuanced.

And this month especially, you cannot look at the numbers without understanding what is actually behind them.

Some of these stats are based on very few homes.

Under 649K

This is a perfect example of why context matters.

This entire section is based on one sold home.

Last month, the one sale in this range sat for 103 days and sold well under asking.

This month, one home sold again, but it sold in 3 days and over asking.

That does not mean the entire market suddenly flipped.

It means one well-positioned home hit the market and buyers responded to it.

This range is extremely limited right now, which makes the data volatile.

But what it does show is that when something good hits this price point, buyers are ready.

650K – 849K

This range is still one of the most active parts of the market.

Last month, this was one of the strongest ranges. Homes were moving in about 10 days and sellers were getting right at their asking price.

This month, not much has changed.

Homes are still moving, buyers are still active, and sellers are still in a solid position. The difference now is buyers have just enough inventory to slow down slightly and be a bit more selective.

So instead of feeling intense, it feels steady.

In real life, that looks like:

Buyers are ready, but they are not rushing into every home
They are comparing options and waiting for the right fit
Homes that are priced well still move quickly
Homes that miss the mark get passed over

This is still a healthy, active range.

If you are buying, you need to be prepared, but you have room to think.

If you are selling, you are in a strong position, but you are competing with other well-prepared listings.

850K – 1.049M

This technically shows the highest days on market right now for resale homes, but even that needs context.

It is not that this range is struggling.

It is more that one lingering home from winter inventory is still affecting the numbers.

Once that clears out, this range likely falls right back in line with everything else.

Overall, this price point feels slightly more cautious, but not slow.

1.05M – 1.249M

This is one of the biggest shifts this month.

Last month, homes were taking around 39 days to sell.

Now they are moving in about 6 days.

That is a big change, and it is based on multiple sales, not just one.

This tells you buyers stepped back into this range in a meaningful way.

When homes are priced right here, they are moving quickly again.

1.25M +

This range continues to have the most inventory across all property types and resale homes right now.

There are 27 homes for sale, which actually shows you that inventory is more spread out across the city than it might feel at first glance.

Only 3 homes sold this month, so everything you are seeing here is based on a very small sample size.

And yes, those sellers received 100% of their asking price.

That looks great on paper.

But that does not mean every home in this range is selling like that.

What it really tells you is that the homes that did sell were well positioned. They likely checked the right boxes and were priced in a way that made sense to buyers.

Meanwhile, there are still plenty of homes sitting.

This is a selective market.

For sellers, this matters more than anything:

If your home has tradeoffs and those tradeoffs are not offset by price, buyers are discounting you immediately.

They are not waiting around to see if it works. They move on.

Final Thoughts

This is a market that rewards attention to detail.

Not every stat tells the full story, and not every shift means the market changed.

When you understand what is actually driving the numbers, everything becomes a lot clearer.

Why I Publish These Reports

Broad headlines do not help real buyers and sellers make real decisions.

Price range matters.
Property type matters.
Buyer psychology matters.

When I sit down with clients, we are not just looking at what sold. We are looking at what went pending, what expired, what canceled, and what is still sitting. Every scenario has a strategy.

If you are buying and want to understand what your budget range actually feels like right now, let’s walk through it.

If you are buying or selling here, you do not need headlines. You need context.
