Snohomish, WA Real Estate Market Update – September 2025 by Brandice Raybourn

📊 Closed Sales: A Split Market

There were 97 closed sales in Snohomish this past month, almost flat compared to last year (+1%). But the breakdown tells a very different story.

• Under $600K: Sales exploded, up 266.7% from last year. Homes in this range are still highly in demand.

• $601K–$849K: Down 31.9% year-over-year. Buyers here are moving more cautiously.

• $850K–$1.149M: Sales jumped 68.8%, showing strong demand in this bracket.

• $1.15M+: Down 12.9%, signaling a slowdown at the very top of the market.

👉🏼 Sellers: If you’re listing above $1.15M, be prepared for a slower pace. Mid-market sellers ($850K–$1.149M) are in a sweet spot right now.
👉🏼 Buyers: Under $600K is still red hot, but you’ll have more leverage in the higher brackets where sales have slowed.
