And just like that, Lake Stevens is getting very interesting again.
My analysis shows:
• Multiple homes selling over list price again
• A luxury rambler in North Lake Stevens close above asking
• Eight homes in the $600K–$749K range go pending over list
• Resale outperforming new construction
• Older winter inventory finally clearing
Context matters this month. A lot.
Let’s break it down.
When you zoom out and look at the entire Lake Stevens market, it does not scream aggressive seller’s market.
Homes are selling below list price overall. Inventory still looks like a healthy number. Days on market are just under a month to get under contract.
But here is the thing.
The citywide numbers are being pulled down by slower pockets. There are certain price ranges and property styles that are moving quickly and creating competition, while others are clearly lagging.
If you are a seller, this means you cannot price based on the city average alone.
If you are a buyer, it means you might feel pressure in one range and zero pressure in another.
Lake Stevens is not moving as one big unit right now. It is moving in pockets.

New construction is still struggling compared to resale.
Even though days on market have improved slightly, builders are not outpacing resale homes in Lake Stevens. Buyers are clearly comparing value.
Right now, buyers are being selective. They are not just buying new because it is new. They are looking at location, layout, lot size, and overall value.
If you are 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 😉

Inventory is limited for condos in Lake Stevens. Homes are moving relatively quickly. Sales prices are holding close to list.
This tells me buyers in this range are motivated and realistic. They know what entry-level options look like in Lake Stevens right now.
Buyers are cautious. HOA dues, special assessments, and lending requirements all factor into their decisions.
When condos are priced appropriately and the HOA is stable, they will move.

Townhomes have very limited inventory and are still moving slowly here. This is the second-highest days on market in Lake Stevens right now, next to new construction.
Buyers have options and are taking their time looking at everything.
If you are selling a townhome, pricing correctly from day one matters. Buyers are not rushing unless it truly stands out.
This could also tell us that the three townhomes that sold last month were on the market for a long time during the winter months. I will keep an eye on this in the coming months to see if the winter inventory is still clearing out here.

This report shows last month. If you're making a move today, the market has already shifted.
I track what’s happening in real time using the last 14 days of NWMLS activity so you can see exactly what buyers and sellers are doing in your price range right now.
You don’t need another report. You need to know what’s happening before you make a move.
Prefer to reach out directly? Email me here.
Every situation is different. I’ll tailor this to your goals, timing, and what you’re trying to decide.
This is where things get juicy.
Very limited inventory for residential resale in Lake Stevens, with only five available properties.
Buyers here are serious and watching everything. When a well-priced home hits the market, it gets attention quickly.
Showings to pending suggest there are more buyers looking than there is inventory. Homes are moving in a reasonable timeframe. Sales prices are holding strong relative to list.
For sellers, this means condition and pricing still matter, but demand is there.
For buyers, you cannot assume you will have weeks to decide. The good ones move, and there is not much negotiation happening here, with sellers seeing exactly what they listed for.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This is the sweet spot in Lake Stevens right now.
Eight homes in this range went under contract over list price. Some by a few thousand. Some by over $20K. And when you map them out, they are clustered in the southwest region near 20th before Highway 9 and near Highway 92.
What does that tell us?
Buyers were scrambling.
When one went pending, they moved to the next. When that one went pending, they moved again. It created a domino effect.
A few of these were ramblers. And if you own an updated rambler in this range, you might be sitting on one of the most desirable properties in the city right now.
Now here is where context matters.
The median percent of original price in this range was pulled down by two homes that sold significantly below list — nearly 10 to 15 percent under. Without those two, the average would look even stronger.
This is why I never just look at the headline number. The story underneath is what actually matters.
For sellers in this range, pricing strategically could create competition.
For buyers, expect pressure if the home is updated and in the right pocket of town.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Homes are sitting longer compared to the $600K–$749K range. But I do believe some of what we are seeing is older inventory finally finding buyers after the winter months.
It feels like the market is waking back up here, but cautiously.
Buyers in this range are more particular. They are comparing square footage, upgrades, and location more aggressively.
For sellers, this is not the range to overreach on price.
For buyers, there is more negotiating room here than in the sweet spot range below it, especially if you are looking at homes that have been on the market the longest.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This range only had one sale last month.
And it sold over list.
It was a luxury rambler in North Lake Stevens near Lake Glenmore and the Lake Stevens Disc Golf Course on a nice-sized lot.
That tells us something important.
The right property in the right location with the right layout will still command strong pricing, even at higher price points.
But volume is thin here. One sale does not make a trend. It simply shows that buyers are still active for quality homes.
If you are selling in this range, presentation and positioning are everything!

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This range is well.. slow.
Days on market are much longer. Out of the two homes that sold last month, those sellers saw just under a 10% loss from the original list price. Showings to pending are higher.
Luxury buyers are patient. They negotiate. They take their time.
With only nine homes available and at least 11 buyers walking the two properties that sold, this pocket should be tightening up by now. Look closely at your pricing and your competition.
Buyers who can afford anything over this price point will mentally discount you for pain points that cannot be fixed. Keep that in mind. Take a strong, unbiased look at your property as if you were the one buying it.
Buyers — you can still get more for your money here than in nearby cities to the south.

This is where the market starts to wake back up, but not all at once. Some price ranges are seeing strong activity again, with homes going over list and buyers stepping back in, while others are still slower and taking more time. Lake Stevens is clearly moving in pockets right now, and your experience depends on where you fall.
• Buyer Tip
Pay attention to momentum. Some price ranges are heating up quickly, and waiting too long can cost you. In other ranges, you still have room to negotiate and take your time.
• Seller Tip
If your price range is seeing activity pick up, this is your window. Buyers are coming back, but they are still selective. Pricing and positioning correctly will determine whether you create competition or get overlooked.
I do this every month because raw numbers alone do not tell you what it feels like on the ground.
I want you to understand what buyers are actually doing, how sellers are responding, and where leverage truly exists.
As a local Lake Stevens real estate broker, 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.

It’s neither, and that’s what most people miss.
Lake Stevens is moving at different speeds depending on price range and property type. Homes in the 600K to 749K range are seeing real competition, while higher price points are taking longer and seeing more negotiation.
When you zoom out, the market can look balanced. But once you break it down, you can clearly see where buyers are active and where sellers are having to adjust.
In Lake Stevens, some homes are moving very fast, and others are not.
Homes in the 600K to 749K range are going pending quickly, and in some cases over list price. That tells you demand is strong where affordability still lines up.
At the same time, homes above 750K are taking longer, especially if they are not fully updated or priced aggressively.
Speed right now is tied directly to price point and condition.
Yes, and in some areas they showed up in a big way.
The 600K to 749K range saw multiple homes go pending over list price, with buyers moving quickly from one listing to the next. That kind of behavior shows urgency.
In higher price points, buyers are still active but more selective. They are watching closely and waiting for the right fit.
It varies more than usual. Some homes are going pending quickly, while others are sitting longer. A lot of the higher days on market are tied to older listings finally finding buyers after winter.
This is where the numbers can be misleading.
Inventory looks higher when you look at the whole city, but it is not evenly spread across the market. A lot of what is available sits in slower segments like new construction and higher price points.
At the same time, some ranges like under 750K still feel tight and competitive.
So while inventory is up, your experience depends on where your home sits within that mix.
The data does not point to a simple yes or no.
There are opportunities on both sides right now, but they depend on positioning. Sellers in high demand ranges are still seeing strong activity, while buyers in slower segments 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.

On the surface, Marysville looks strong. Prices moved up. Inventory moved up. Pending activity moved up. Days on market dipped slightly. Sellers, on average, got exactly what they asked for.
If you just glance at the citywide stats, you would call this a seller’s market.
But when you slow down and look at what actually happened, the story gets more interesting.
Yes, the median price increased. Yes, sellers landed right at 100 percent of original list price.
But that 100 percent is not evenly spread across every home.
One sale in the 950K+ range closed 14.3 percent over list price. That is roughly 130K over asking. That single transaction pulled the entire city’s percent of original list price higher.
Without that sale, the citywide numbers would look very different.
This is why I always say context matters more than headlines.

New construction is the slowest moving housing type in Marysville right now.
Builders are having a harder time getting homes under contract. Properties are taking longer to sell compared to resale, and builders are accepting slightly below original list price on average.
Buyers are negotiating, and negotiating hard.
The automatic multiple offer environment on every new build is not universal right now. It depends heavily on location, lot size, layout, and incentives. Buyers are paying attention to resale value and what kind of lot they are getting for their money.
Marysville is still one of the more affordable cities in Snohomish County. Because of that, buyers compare new construction to resale very closely. If the lot feels small or the price feels stretched, they hesitate.
If you are 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 😉

Condo inventory is limited, but days on market are higher.
Sellers in this category need patience.
Buyers are cautious. HOA dues, special assessments, and lending requirements all factor into their decision. If a buyer can find a detached home or newer construction near the same price point, they are often looking there first.
When condos are priced appropriately and the HOA is stable, they will move. But buyers are very selective.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
There were no townhome sales last month.
There are not many townhomes in Marysville overall. Most of the new construction townhomes are clustered near Soper Hill.
We have properties under contract, but nothing closed last month, so there is no finalized sales data to analyze yet.
Based on what is currently on the market, pricing appears to hover in the mid 500s. It also looks like these townhomes are taking time to go pending. They are not flying off the shelf.
We will have clearer insight next month once those pending homes close.
For now, there simply is not enough closed data to draw strong conclusions.

Now let’s move into where things really get interesting.
This range is moving.
Homes are going pending quickly and selling over list on average. This is also where the most resale inventory sits in Marysville right now, which tells you something important.
Marysville continues to offer real entry level options compared to much of Snohomish County. Buyers can still find solid homes at prices that make sense.
When a home in this range is priced correctly and shows well, it does not sit.
If you are a seller here, study your competition closely. The homes that look sharp and feel aligned with market value move first. If you stretch too far ahead of the market, buyers will skip you.
If you are a buyer in this range, expect competition on the best properties. Not everything turns into a bidding war. But the clean, well priced homes do not linger.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This range is competitive and resale is outpacing new construction here.
Homes are going pending in under two weeks on average. Sellers are landing very close to original list price.
This is the range where strategy matters most.
Buyers have options. If you overprice, they will move on. If you price correctly, you will likely secure strong activity quickly.
Buyers here are still negotiating. They are comparing condition, layout, and location carefully. They are not overpaying for homes that need significant updates.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This range looks strong for sellers, but buyers are selective.
Days on market are low, around a week on average. Percent of original list price sits right at 100 percent. But showing counts are lower on average, which tells us buyers are being decisive.
They are not touring everything. They are targeting homes that truly make sense.
If your home speaks to what buyers in this range expect in terms of layout, finish, and location, you are in a solid position.
If it misses the mark, it will sit longer than you think.
Presentation matters here more than ever.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Now let’s talk about what moved the citywide numbers.
Only one home closed in this range last month.
And it was not a typical resale.
It was a 1.91 acre property near Shasta Ridge, close to the development activity around Soper Hill. Zoned NR6.5 high density residential and marketed clearly as a development opportunity.
This was not about kitchen updates. This was about land.
With recent zoning and density changes, land in strategic areas becomes valuable. That likely explains the 14.3 percent over list price.
If you own near Soper Hill or Shasta Ridge, pay attention to this. You may not just be selling a home. You could be selling development potential.
That is a completely different negotiation.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
On the surface, Marysville looks like a perfect seller’s market. Prices are up, homes are selling, and sellers are getting what they ask for. But once you look closer, it becomes clear that the numbers are being influenced by a few key sales and are not evenly spread across the entire market.
• Buyer Tip
Do not let the headlines rush you. Some homes are competitive, especially in the lower price ranges, but others give you more room to negotiate. Pay attention to value and how each home compares.
• Seller Tip
Do not assume the market will carry your price just because the numbers look strong. Buyers are being selective, and your outcome depends on how your home compares to the competition in your specific price range.
I do this every month because raw numbers alone do not tell you what it feels like on the ground.
I want you to understand what buyers are actually doing, how sellers are responding, and where leverage truly exists.
If you own in the Soper Hill or Shasta Ridge area and are curious whether your property might have development appeal, that is a different conversation than a standard resale analysis.
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.

Moving to Marysville, WA? Real Estate Insights with Brandice Raybourn
Brandice Raybourn is a data-driven real estate broker providing hyper-local housing market insights across Snohomish County and North King County.
Some are, but not across the board.
Most homes are landing right around their list price. What is happening is that the right homes, in the right location, and priced correctly are still getting pushed over asking.
One sale last month went more than 14 percent over list price, but that was a unique property with development potential. That one sale pulled the overall numbers up and made it look more common than it actually is.
So yes, it is happening, but it is not the full picture.
On average, homes are going pending in about a month.
But that average hides what is really happening.
Homes under 599K are moving quickly and can go pending within days when priced right.
Higher price points and certain property types are taking longer, especially when buyers have more options or are being more selective.
So what you experience depends heavily on where your home sits in the market.
It is, but that affordability is creating competition.
There is still strong inventory under 599K compared to other areas nearby, which keeps Marysville accessible for entry level buyers.
At the same time, those buyers are active and paying attention. When a home is priced right in that range, it does not sit.
Affordable does not mean slow. In this case, it actually means competitive.
Yes, but only in certain parts of the market.
The lower price ranges are still seeing strong activity and quick decisions from buyers.
As you move up in price, buyers become more selective. They are taking longer, comparing options, and negotiating more.
So you can see both experiences happening at the same time depending on price point and condition.
Because averages can be influenced by a small number of outlier sales.
Last month, one high price sale with development potential pushed both the percent of list price received and overall pricing metrics higher for the entire city.
That does not mean every seller is seeing that result.
It just means one sale had a bigger impact than most people realize.

It looks like winter inventory has finally started clearing out across Snohomish.
Buyers were out last month. Nearly 100 homes either went pending or closed. On the surface, that makes it feel aggressive.
But some of these numbers are a little deceptive.
A portion of the homes that closed in February were properties that had been sitting through the winter and finally found their buyer.
So yes, movement increased.
But this is not one simple market.
Some ranges are moving quickly.
Some are sitting.
Some are competitive but extremely price sensitive.
If you are buying or selling here, you do not need headlines. You need context.
Let’s break down what is actually happening.
Almost 100 properties either went pending or closed last month, and the median sold price came in at 100% of original list price with homes averaging under a month on market.
On paper, that looks very strong.
What this actually feels like is this:
Homes that are well positioned are getting attention and moving quickly.
At the same time, there is still plenty of inventory to choose from. Buyers are not desperate. They are selective.
So while the sold data looks hot, the active inventory tells us buyers still have options.
Short on time? You can request a personalized breakdown here.

New construction is one of the slower moving housing types in Snohomish right now.
That is interesting because in some surrounding cities, new construction is outperforming resale. Not here.
Buyers are looking at new builds, but they are comparing them directly to resale options in Snohomish.
Builders are working harder for contracts.
If you are selling resale and competing with new construction, condition and pricing matter more than ever.
If you are 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 are currently the slowest housing type in Snohomish.
But again, context matters.
Some of the condos that closed may have been sitting through the slower winter months and finally secured a buyer.
The experience here is completely different from single family homes.
If you are buying a condo, due diligence matters. Review HOA financials. Look at maintenance history. Understand the risk of special assessments before you close.
If you are selling a condo, expect longer timelines and stronger negotiation.

Townhomes feel balanced.
Not flying off the market. Not sitting forever either.
They hit a price and lifestyle sweet spot, which keeps buyers engaged.
If you are selling a townhome and priced correctly, you are still seeing movement.
If you are buying, you have options but not endless time.

This is where the story really changes.
Snohomish is not one market. It is multiple markets happening at the same time.
On paper, this looks rough.
Higher days on market.
Lower percent of original list price.
But here is the important part.
There was only 1 resale under 649K that closed in February.
That means all of the sold statistics are based on one property.
That home sold around 10% below its original list price after sitting 103 days and likely adjusting price through the winter. It had 13 showings before going pending.
That does not mean buyers are deeply cautious across this entire range.
When you zoom in and look at the pending properties, those days on market are much shorter. Next month’s numbers will likely look very different here.
So no, buyers are not nearly as hesitant as this one sold property makes it appear.
This is why context matters.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This is the strongest range right now alongside the over $1.25M.
13 homes closed.
Homes averaged 10 days on market.
Sellers received 100% of original list price.
This price range is competitive.
Buyers need to be prepared and ready when the right home hits.
Sellers in this range are in a strong position, but preparation still matters. You are competing against other well priced homes that are also moving quickly.
If you think you fall in this range, this is a healthy place to be.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Homes are selling close to list price and going under contract in under a month.
Buyers here have a little breathing room. You can be strategic.
Sellers should expect a solid amount of showing activity before going under contract. You are competing. Buyers are comparing.
If you are well maintained and priced appropriately, you will move.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This range is sitting longer than others, but sellers are still getting very close to original list price.
It is active relative to the number of homes for sale.
The higher days on market do not mean weak demand. It means buyers are evaluating carefully.
When they see what they want, they move.
Sellers need to present a strong case for their price. Buyers are decisive, but only when the value is clear.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This range has the most inventory right now.
But here is the interesting part.
When a luxury home is exceptional and priced correctly, it is moving quickly with sellers receiving 100% of original list price and around 11 days on market for those that closed.
However, there are also luxury homes sitting.
If you have too many tradeoffs that are not offset by price, buyers are mentally discounting you immediately.
Luxury buyers are decisive when they see value right away and there are no major compromises.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
If you are a seller in Snohomish right now, the question is not:
Is the market good?
The question is:
What price range am I in, and how are buyers behaving there?
If you are a buyer, your experience depends entirely on your budget.
Some ranges require quick decisions.
Others give you negotiation power.
Some will test your patience.
You do not need to time the market. You need to understand it.
That is the difference.
This is one of those months where the numbers look stronger than the actual experience. Yes, a lot of homes went pending or closed, but some of that movement is coming from homes that sat through winter and finally found buyers. Once you break it down, it is very clear this is not one market. Your experience depends almost entirely on your price range.
• Buyer Tip
Do not assume the market is competitive across the board just because the headlines say it is. Some price ranges move fast, others give you room to negotiate. Know which one you are in before you make a move.
• Seller Tip
You cannot rely on “the market is strong” to carry your price. Buyers have options right now and they are comparing everything. If your home is not positioned right, it will sit longer than you expect.
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.

Moving to Snohomish, WA? Real Estate Insights with Brandice Raybourn
Brandice Raybourn is a data-driven real estate broker providing hyper-local housing market insights across Snohomish County and North King County.
It depends on your price range.
Homes in the 650K to 849K range are moving quickly and sellers are getting full price, which feels competitive.
At the same time, higher price ranges are taking longer to sell and buyers are negotiating more, which gives buyers more leverage.
Snohomish is not one market right now. It shifts depending on where you’re priced.
Some homes are selling in about 10 days, while others are taking over a month.
The fastest movement is happening in the 650K to 849K range.
Homes between 1.05M and 1.249M are taking closer to 39 days on average.
Lower price points under 649K look slower on paper this month, but that data is based on only one closed sale.
Most homes are selling right at their asking price overall.
In the most active price range, sellers are receiving about 100% of their original list price.
In higher or slower moving ranges, buyers have more room to negotiate depending on condition and pricing.
The 650K to 849K range is the most competitive.
Homes in this range are selling quickly and buyers are acting fast when they find the right property.
This is where demand is strongest right now.
It can be, but it depends on your price range and positioning.
Some homes are moving quickly and getting strong offers.
Others are sitting and needing adjustments.
The strategy matters more than timing right now.

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.
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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 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 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.

This report shows last month. If you're making a move today, the market has already shifted.
I track what’s happening in real time using the last 14 days of NWMLS activity so you can see exactly what buyers and sellers are doing in your price range right now.
You don’t need another report. You need to know what’s happening before you make a move.
Prefer to reach out directly? Email me here.
Every situation is different. I’ll tailor this to your goals, timing, and what you’re trying to decide.
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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.

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.
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.

Brandice Raybourn is a data-driven real estate broker providing hyper-local housing market insights across Snohomish County and North King County.
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.
By: Brandice Raybourn
Lynnwood is active, but it is not frantic.
Homes are moving when they are priced right, especially in the more attainable price points. Buyers are engaged, but they are careful. They are comparing options, watching value, and walking away from anything that feels stretched compared to other nearby areas.
The higher you go in price, the more selective the behavior becomes.
Now let’s go through each housing type and then residential resale by price point.
First up, Lynnwood as a whole looks pretty balanced.
Buyers are active. Homes are moving. Inventory looks healthy, but when we zoom in, most of that inventory sits in the condo and townhouse categories, along with new construction.
When properties are positioned correctly, they move in a reasonable timeframe and sellers are still landing very close to their original price. That tells you buyers are not lowballing across the board. However, when we zoom in by price point, one range really helped push the median percent of original price up for the whole city.
Showings are steady. Offers are happening. Buyers are comparing everything. If something feels overpriced or outdated, they move on quickly.
For sellers, that means pricing and presentation matter more than ever. The market will reward the right setup. It will ignore the wrong one.
Short on time? You can request a personalized breakdown here.

Buyers looking at new construction are calculated. They are weighing incentives, interest rates, and resale competition all at the same time.
In real life, this means buyers are asking questions. They are negotiating upgrades. They are comparing specs closely. For sellers competing with new builds, this matters. If your resale home does not show well or feels dated, buyers will lean toward brand new, especially if your older home is priced around the same range.
And don’t forget, most builders pay for your buyer’s agent. So bring one with you on your first visit. If you don’t have one yet… call me 😉

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Condos are a little slower right now, but not dramatically slow. They have the second highest level of inventory next to townhomes, which makes sense because many of the newer developments in Lynnwood are condos and townhomes offering more affordable options in a central location.
Buyers looking at condos are naturally more cautious. There is more to consider. HOA dues, insurance, and total monthly payment all weigh heavily in decisions.
Homes are still selling, but the timeline is longer, and pricing needs to be realistic from day one. Condos currently have the longest days on market in the city.
In showings, buyers are analyzing the full package, not just the unit itself. They are reviewing financials, dues, and overall building condition carefully.
If you are selling a condo in Lynnwood, patience and strategic pricing are key.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Townhomes are in a solid position and currently have the highest number of available listings in the city.
They offer a middle ground between a condo and a detached home, and buyers like that flexibility.
These are moving at a healthy pace when priced correctly. Buyers here often feel like they are upgrading from a condo or buying their first home without stretching into detached home prices.
In real-world terms, these showings tend to convert well when the layout works, the condition is clean, and everything lines up for the buyer in terms of HOA dues and community amenities.

This report shows last month. If you're making a move today, the market has already shifted.
I track what’s happening in real time using the last 14 days of NWMLS activity so you can see exactly what buyers and sellers are doing in your price range right now.
You don’t need another report. You need to know what’s happening before you make a move.
Prefer to reach out directly? Email me here.
Every situation is different. I’ll tailor this to your goals, timing, and what you’re trying to decide.
This is where my analysis gets interesting.
This range is competitive and very limited when it comes to detached homes, so naturally properties move fast when listed correctly.
You see strong activity, fast decisions, and little room for hesitation. Buyers in this range know they have competition and act accordingly. The median percent of original price is slightly elevated, which suggests at least one of those sold homes likely closed over list price.
For sellers, this is still the strongest pocket of demand in Lynnwood.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This is a steady range right now. There is not a ton of inventory, but enough for buyers to look around and compare.
Buyers are active and not hesitating. With 10 homes sold last month and fewer active listings than that, there are clearly more buyers viewing properties than there are homes available.
They are comparing square footage, updates, and location carefully.
Homes move when they feel like a fair trade for the price. If they don’t, they sit. If you are selling in this range, you need to look closely at your competition.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This range currently has the most inventory within residential resale.
Buyers here expect more. Layout, updates, lot size, and overall feel matter.
Homes that check the boxes are clearly moving fast, some within just a few days based on last month’s sales. Homes that miss even one key expectation can sit longer than sellers anticipate.
For buyers, this is actually a strong range right now because there is more inventory to choose from compared to other price points in Lynnwood.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Now let’s talk about context here. These numbers are heavily influenced by one sale, and that home was located in the highly desirable Hilltop area of Lynnwood. The sellers received 4.7 percent over asking.
That tells you well-presented homes can still create competitive situations.
However, there are other homes in this range sitting on the market. Context matters. Based on that one strong sale, we can see that if the home feels premium, the market responds. If it feels average, buyers hesitate.
Preparation and positioning are critical in this range.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Luxury in Lynnwood means thinner inventory and fewer buyers overall. However, the showing activity tells a deeper story.
With 35 median showings to pending across just two sold homes, buyers are clearly walking through properties in this range. They are just extremely selective.
They expect more for their money in this price pocket. Quality, uniqueness, and long-term value matter a lot, especially when comparing Lynnwood to other nearby areas.
Homes move when they make sense. When they don’t, buyers wait.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Lynnwood is active, but it is not frantic. Homes are moving when they are priced right, but buyers are taking their time, comparing options, and walking away from anything that does not feel like a strong value. The higher you go in price, the more selective that behavior becomes.
• Buyer Tip
You are in a position to be thoughtful right now. Compare homes, look at value, and do not feel pressured to move unless it truly makes sense. But when something stands out, be ready to act.
• Seller Tip
This is a market that rewards preparation. Buyers are not overlooking flaws or overpaying without reason. Pricing, condition, and how your home compares to others will determine how quickly it sells.
You do not need to time the market. You need to understand it.
I publish these each month so buyers and sellers can see what is actually happening beneath the headlines.
Numbers alone do not tell you what it feels like to negotiate, show, or price in this market. Interpreting behavior does.

Brandice Raybourn is a data-driven real estate broker providing hyper-local housing market insights across Snohomish County and North King County.
Not exactly. The Lynnwood housing market is still active, but it is more selective than it was before.
Homes are still selling in a reasonable timeframe, but buyers are taking more time to compare options and evaluate value. That shift shows up more in certain parts of the market, especially as prices increase and buyers become more selective.
Yes, homes are still selling in Lynnwood, but not all homes are selling the same way.
Lower price points are still moving quickly because there is limited inventory. In the mid-range, buyers are active but more careful and are comparing multiple homes before making decisions. In higher price points, homes are selling when they stand out, but buyers are taking their time.
Homes are selling the fastest in the lower price points in Lynnwood, particularly under 650K.
There is very little detached inventory in this range, so when a home is priced correctly and shows well, buyers tend to move quickly. As you move into higher price ranges, the pace slows and depends more on how well the home meets buyer expectations.
Buyers currently have more options in the mid-range of the Lynnwood housing market.
The 850K to 1.049M range has the most inventory right now, which gives buyers more opportunity to compare homes and take their time. Condos also offer more availability, but they are moving more slowly due to higher monthly costs. Lower price points still have limited inventory, which keeps competition higher there.
The more challenging price ranges in Lynnwood right now are the ones where buyers have the most choices and the highest expectations.
In the mid-range, especially around 850K to just over a million, there is more inventory available. That gives buyers more options to compare, which can cause homes to sit longer if they do not stand out.
At the higher price points, the challenge shifts. There are fewer buyers overall, and those buyers tend to be more selective about condition, layout, and long-term value.
So it is not that one price range is simply “slow,” it is that competition and buyer expectations increase in certain parts of the Lynnwood market, which makes pricing and presentation more important.

Sometimes I look at these numbers and think, this is exactly why I break the data up the way I do for my clients. The big city stats never tell the full story.
If you just glance at the overall numbers, Bothell looks strong. Days on market is down. Homes are hovering right around full price. The median sales price jumped again.
But once you separate it by housing type and price range, it becomes much more specific.
One resale range is lifting the overall percent of list price.
One housing type pushed the citywide median price up just from a few higher sales last month.
One price range had only one sale, so the data there needs to be read carefully.
And one range currently has the longest days on market in the entire city.
This is exactly why I break it down every month instead of relying on headline numbers.
Days on market dropped compared to last month. That tells me we are seeing early spring activity start to show up. Homes are moving.
On the surface, it feels active. Buyers are engaging. Decisions are being made.
The city is sitting just under full original list price. The median sales price jumped again from last month. But that jump is not evenly spread across all price points. New construction had a noticeable impact on that number this time around.
When you look at the city as a whole, Bothell feels steady.
When you break it apart, you can clearly see where the real momentum actually sits.
Short on time? You can request a personalized breakdown here.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
New construction had several higher priced closings last month, which pushed the citywide median sales price up.
Builders also had the most homes sold this month compared to any other housing type or price range. So while buyers are not rushing, new construction is still outpacing much of the resale market right now.
Inventory is there. Buyers are looking. And homes are closing.
And do not forget, most builders pay for your buyer’s agent. So bring one with you on your first visit. If you do not have one yet, call me 😉

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Townhomes feel steady right now. There are plenty to choose from throughout the city as well, and nearly half of them are new construction, which is outpacing the whole city right now.
Sellers are not seeing wild over-list results, but they are not being pushed far under either.
This range feels balanced. Sellers, if you have a townhome, just know that you are competing with the most competitive part of the market right now, which is new construction.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
There is no shortage of condos available in Bothell. This is a good balanced market right now. Sellers are seeing their condos get under contract, but buyers are selective here. HOA budgets, dues, and long-term stability are being reviewed carefully, as buyers should.
Condos are still selling, but they are not as rushed, so pricing and presentation are doing most of the heavy lifting.

Every situation is different. I’ll tailor this to your goals, timing, and what you’re trying to decide.
There was only one sale in this range last month.
That is important.
When only one home sells, the entire data set reflects that single property.
In this range, that one home moved quickly and sold at full asking price.
But that does not mean this entire range is suddenly competitive or tight.
It simply means that one home was positioned correctly and buyers responded.
When volume is low, the data can swing dramatically from month to month. This is one of those situations where you need to take the data with a grain of salt.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This is currently the slowest moving range in the city based on days on market, and 30 days is not a long time to be on the market and nothing to be scared of.
Buyers here are taking their time and may even be hoping for a gem to pop up on the market, which sometimes it really does.
They have options. They are comparing. They are not rushing to compete.
Homes are still selling, but sellers in this range need to be realistic about pacing and pricing. This is not the most competitive pocket right now.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Buyers are serious here and fast moving. When homes are priced well and show well, they move quickly. Based on the 17 sold properties last month, this is a very good market in this price range. Buyers are putting in offers, and sellers are getting nearly what they originally listed for and not having to wait too long before they receive an offer. This is a good market to be in.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Now let’s move into the belle of the ball for some sellers right now. This is the price range that is making the rest of the city look like sellers are getting nearly 100 percent of their list price. It has also been a minute since I have seen the stat over 100 percent like this.
That sounds dramatic, but it is being influenced by a few very strong sales.
A couple of homes sold well above asking and moved very quickly, within one day. That strength pushes the overall percentage up and the overall days on market down.
At the same time, not every seller in this range sold above list price or even that fast.
This is also where pricing strategy plays a role. Sometimes homes are intentionally listed slightly below perceived market value to create competition, and it worked on at least two homes last month. When that works, the final price can land above asking. Just so you know, one property sold at 112 percent of list price and another at 105 percent last month, which is great for those sellers.
From the outside, the citywide number makes it look like bidding wars everywhere.
When you break it down, you see that this resale pocket is doing most of the heavy lifting.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Buyers in this range and above are selective but decisive. There is plenty of inventory here, with the third highest number of homes for sale, behind condos and new construction.
Sellers are getting nearly what they listed for and are not having to wait too long to get under contract. This is a healthy market.
When a home aligns with expectations, it moves. When it misses the mark, it sits. Take a look around at your competitors’ homes.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Days on market is down across the city.
The median price jumped, influenced in part by higher-priced new construction closings.
The city is hovering near full original list price.
But that strength is not evenly distributed.
One range had only one sale.
One range is moving slower than the rest.
One resale pocket is lifting the averages above 100 percent.
One housing type pushed the citywide median price up just from a few higher sales last month.
If you are a seller, look at your competition, especially around your price range and housing type, since buyers typically search by price point first.
At a glance, Bothell looks strong. Homes are selling quickly, prices are holding, and the numbers look solid. But once you break it down, it becomes very clear that not all of that strength is evenly spread across the market. Certain price ranges and a few specific sales are doing most of the work and influencing the overall numbers.
• Buyer Tip
Do not rely on the overall numbers to guide your decisions. Some price ranges are moving quickly, while others give you more time to evaluate and negotiate. Understanding where your budget falls will change your entire experience.
• Seller Tip
Do not assume the market will carry your price. Some segments are performing very well, but others are slower and more sensitive. Pricing and positioning correctly based on your specific competition is what determines your outcome.
This is exactly why I publish these reports every month. Markets shift. And when they do, the details matter.
You do not need to time the market. You need to understand it.

Moving to Bothell, WA? Real Estate Insights with Brandice Raybourn
Brandice Raybourn is a data-driven real estate broker providing hyper-local housing market insights across Snohomish County and North King County.
It depends on the price range.
Across the whole city, homes are going pending in about 11 days, which feels fast on the surface.
But that is not happening everywhere.
Homes in the 750K to 949K range are moving quickly, often in about 9 days.
Meanwhile, homes in the 600K to 749K range are taking closer to 30 to 40 days as buyers take more time and compare options.
So yes, homes are selling quickly in some ranges, but not across the board.
In many cases, yes. But not for the reason most people think.
The city is sitting right around 99.7 percent of original list price, which looks strong.
But that number is being influenced by a specific resale range.
In the 950K to 1.149M range, a couple homes sold well above asking, including one over 112 percent and another over 105 percent of list price.
Those sales pull the overall number up.
Other homes are still negotiating, especially in slower ranges.
It comes down to price range, pricing strategy, and competition.
Some homes are priced to attract multiple offers and move quickly.
Others are competing against more inventory or buyers who are taking their time.
For example, the 600K to 749K range currently has the longest days on market in the city, which tells us buyers there are being more selective and want value for their dollars.
At the same time, stronger demand in other ranges is creating faster sales.
It is neither across the board.
It depends on where you are in the market.
Some ranges are moving quickly with strong buyer demand and little negotiation.
Other ranges are slower, with buyers taking more time and having more leverage.
The overall market feels balanced, but the experience changes depending on price.
New construction played a big role.
Several higher priced new construction homes closed last month, which pushed the overall median sales price up.
Builders also had the most sales in the city, which means they had a strong influence on the overall numbers.
That increase is not evenly spread across all price points or housing type.
It depends on where your home sits in the market.
Across the whole city of Bothell, homes are selling in about 11 days and sellers are getting close to full list price, which on the surface feels strong.
But that experience is not the same in every price range.
In the 950K to 1.149M range, some sellers are seeing very strong results, including homes selling over list price and going pending in just a few days.
At the same time, the 600K to 749K range is taking longer to sell, closer to 30 days, as buyers take their time and compare options.
So yes, it can be a good time to sell in Bothell, but your outcome will depend heavily on your price range, pricing strategy, and how your home compares to what else is on the market.
It depends on what you are looking for and where you are buying.
There are 289 homes currently for sale across Bothell, which means buyers do have options right now.
In some ranges, like 750K to 949K, homes are moving quickly and buyers need to be ready to act.
In others, like 600K to 749K, homes are sitting longer, which gives buyers more time to compare and potentially negotiate.
There is also a lot of new construction available, and builders are actively selling and influencing the market, which can create additional opportunities depending on your goals.
So yes, it can be a good time to buy, but the experience will feel very different depending on your price range and how competitive that part of the market is right now.

Okay.
February numbers are in and wow, this feels umm different.
If the last few months felt slow and selective, February feels like buyers finally woke up. Inventory came up in a lot of price ranges and housing types, but instead of things dragging, homes are still selling. And in some ranges, they’re selling fast.
This is early spring energy starting to show.
Buyers didn’t disappear over winter. They were cautious. Now they’re moving.
Across Bellevue, activity picked up in February. Homes are going under contract faster than they were in December and January. And what’s interesting is that this is happening even with more inventory coming on.
Nearly 100 new properties were added to the market from January to February. That is a ton of inventory across the board. And as a whole city, the median sales price went up over $100K.
That tells me demand is real. Buyers are submitting offers and going under contract, and they’re doing it quickly.
Now let’s look at how that played out across the city.

New construction continues to perform.
Buyers who want clean condition and fewer unknowns are still choosing this path. Increased inventory has not created oversupply here. Builders are still getting nearly exactly what they’re asking for, and once it hits the market, it’s often already under contract.
Buyers, there is actually plenty of inventory in the new construction arena, so you have more options here than in any other housing type.
And don’t forget, most builders pay for your buyer’s agent. So bring one with you on your first visit. If you don’t have one yet… call me 😉

Condos improved in February.
Yes, they still have the highest days on market out of all the housing types, but they’re averaging about 25 days. Out of the 22 condos that sold in February, most were under contract in under a month.
So even here, things are moving.
Buyers who were sitting on the sidelines stepped back in. This doesn’t feel stuck anymore.

Townhomes are benefiting from timing too.
Last month I mentioned they were less forgiving, but oh how a month can change everything. Inventory that had been sitting most of the winter got bought up, new listings hit the market, and buyers stepped in.
When that happens, days on market shift quickly.
Buyers who want lower maintenance living are active again as we move closer to spring.

This report shows last month. If you're making a move today, the market has already shifted.
I track what’s happening in real time using the last 14 days of NWMLS activity so you can see exactly what buyers and sellers are doing in your price range right now.
You don’t need another report. You need to know what’s happening before you make a move.

Every situation is different. I’ll tailor this to your goals, timing, and what you’re trying to decide.
This range feels healthier.
Inventory is up a bit, and days on market are down. A lot of winter inventory cleared out in January, and now that new inventory is hitting the market, homes are moving faster compared to last month.
These homes were taking longer over winter and buyers had more room to negotiate. In February, that window started tightening. Things are still price sensitive here, but they’re not sitting the same way.

This range is steady and active.
There isn’t a lot of inventory, and sellers, take note. Out of the 9 homes that sold in this range last month, there was an average of 28 private showings per home.
That means a lot of people walking through your property. A lot of keeping your house clean. A lot of leaving during showings.
Those homes averaged about 8 days on market. That is a lot of preparation if you’re living in the home.
When a home is clean, updated, and priced right, buyers are not hesitating. They’re not reckless, but they are decisive.

This continues to be one of the fastest moving resale ranges.
If you blink, it’s pending.
When something feels turnkey and positioned correctly, buyers move quickly. There’s not much overthinking happening here.
Honestly, I feel like this is the sweet spot in Bellevue. If you’re a seller in this range, this has not been a difficult market, even during the winter months.

Even this range picked up.
A lot of inventory that was sitting during winter cleared out in January as well, which helped reset days on market going into February.
Last month sellers were seeing around 48 days on market and about 3 percent below original price. Now we’re seeing just over two weeks on average and nearly 2 percent more than sellers got in January.
That is a big shift in one month.
Luxury buyers are still thoughtful, but they are participating. February did not feel frozen at all compared to the last few months.

This range is always more controlled, but it’s moving.
There were 39 homes for sale over $2.15M in February. That is a large part of the market. And just for perspective, the most expensive home currently listed in Bellevue is $79M.
That’s wild.
It’s selective. It’s strategic. But it’s not stalled.

This is where the market clearly picked up. After a slower and more selective winter, buyers stepped back in and activity increased across multiple price points. Homes are selling faster, even with more inventory hitting the market, which tells you demand is real and buyers are not just watching anymore.
• Buyer Tip
If you are in the market right now, be prepared. The slower pace from winter is shifting, and in many price ranges, waiting too long can cost you. You do not need to rush, but you do need to be ready when the right home comes up.
• Seller Tip
Momentum is back, but pricing still matters. Buyers are active, but they are not careless. The homes that are positioned well are moving quickly, while anything that feels off will still get passed over.
This is exactly why I publish these reports every month. Markets shift. And when they do, the details matter.
You don’t need to time the market. You need to understand it.

Under $1.149M
December 2025 Full Series
Yes. Homes across Bellevue went under contract in a median of 8 days. That’s a big shift from the slower winter pace and shows buyers are actively writing offers again. The most time spent on the market in Bellevue were Condos at just under 30 days.
Some are, but not like they were. Most of the winter inventory cleared out in January, and in February we saw homes moving much faster across nearly every price range. Even the slower segments picked up.
It depends on price range, but overall negotiation has tightened. Many homes are selling close to their original list price, and in several price bands buyers are acting quickly when a home feels right.
The $1.45M to $1.849M range and the $2.15M+ range both averaged around 6 days on market. Even the $1.2M to $1.449M range saw strong activity with homes going pending quickly after heavy showing traffic.
If your home is priced and presented correctly, February showed strong conditions for sellers across the board. Homes are moving quickly, and buyers are stepping in as new inventory hits the market.

This Lynnwood housing market update reflects January 2026 activity and shows a market that is selective, uneven, and highly dependent on price point. Some parts of the market are moving quickly and cleanly, while others are slow, patient, and far less forgiving than they were even a year ago. Buyers are cautious, sellers are adjusting expectations, and outcomes are driven by condition, pricing accuracy, and how well a home stands out in its range.
January reflects a very typical winter market in Lynnwood. Activity slowed across much of the resale landscape, with longer days on market showing just how deliberate buyers have become. At the same time, certain housing types and price ranges performed surprisingly well, especially new construction, townhomes, and a specific higher-end range that moved faster than anything else in the city and surrounding cities.
Citywide averages only tell part of the story here. When you break Lynnwood down by housing type and price point, the experience for buyers and sellers looks very different depending on where a home sits. That gap between fast-moving pockets and slower ones is exactly why a price-point breakdown matters in this market.
Across Lynnwood, the market is active but selective. Homes are moving, but they are not flying off the shelf unless they are priced right and present well. Buyers are paying close to asking price overall, but they are taking their time and comparing options carefully. Sellers who assume strong demand without strong presentation are feeling that hesitation quickly.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
New construction has one of the highest inventory levels in Lynnwood right now, which gives buyers more choice even though these homes are still going under contract quickly. Builders are getting 100 percent of list price, so instead of price adjustments, flexibility is showing up through incentives like closing cost credits, rate buydowns, or upgrades.
The homes you see on the MLS are only part of what is available. Builders often release homes in phases, so if you have a specific builder, lot, or layout in mind, looking early matters because the most desirable options move fast.
One important heads up for buyers is representation. Most builders in the PNW do pay for buyers to have an agent, but your agent must be with you on the first visit or set up the initial walkthrough. Walking in without representation can limit your ability to have an agent advocate for you.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Townhomes are also looking very good for sellers.
They are moving quickly, contracts are coming together smoothly, and sellers are consistently landing at full price. Buyers in this category are practical and focused. They are often choosing townhomes intentionally for layout, maintenance, or price point rather than settling.
From a showing perspective, these homes feel competitive without being chaotic. Good townhomes do not sit.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Condo activity is slower and more uneven.
Buyers are cautious here. Showings are happening, but decisions take longer and pricing sensitivity is higher. Condos that are well run, well located, and well priced still sell, but this is not a category where sellers can rely on momentum alone.
Expect longer conversations and fewer impulse offers.

Every situation is different. I’ll tailor this to your goals, timing, and what you’re trying to decide.
When you look at the actual inventory, much of what appears here is townhomes classified as residential in the MLS. True detached resale inventory is actually quite limited.
Only 3 homes sold in this range last month. Based on those sales, sellers saw around 9 showings before going under contract. Days on market look high at first glance, but that is because the homes that sold had been sitting for quite some time before finally finding the right buyer.
This is not a fast or hot range, but it is not dead either. Buyers are patient and value driven. Sellers who adjust expectations and pricing are the ones who eventually get traction.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This range feels balanced but cautious.
Buyers are active, but they are comparing heavily and not rushing. Showings happen, but offers come after reflection rather than excitement. Pricing matters a lot here. Homes that feel slightly overpriced stall quickly.
This is a range where sellers need to be realistic from day one.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This range is moving, but it rewards preparation.
Buyers here are serious and financially ready, but they still expect value. Homes that are clean, updated, and priced appropriately move at a reasonable pace. Homes that miss the mark tend to sit and usually need adjustments.
Sellers should expect to see around 17 showings before going under contract. There is a decent amount of inventory in this range, so sellers need to look closely at their competition
This range feels steady rather than emotional, with buyers making thoughtful decisions instead of rushed ones.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This was the most surprising range in the entire report.
Based on the 3 homes that sold last month, homes went pending after about 10 showings and just 2 days on the market. Yes, 2 days.
This is the fastest moving price range across all of the city reports I track throughout Snohomish County and North King County.
If you are a seller in this range, expect a fast turnaround if your home is a standout. Buyers here know exactly what they want and move quickly when a property checks their boxes.
Condition and presentation in this range will pay off quickly.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
There were no closed sales in this range last month, which means there is no true pulse check from sold data.
That said, inventory is also very limited. Sellers who went under contract saw an average of 6 buyers walk through their homes before going pending.
Homes are sitting around a month on market, but without closed sales, the story is incomplete. My read is that buyers who can afford this range are often comparing Lynnwood to other areas first unless the home is an absolute stunner.
This is a niche range. When the right home appears, buyers engage. Otherwise, they wait.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Lynnwood right now is not about speed for everyone. It is about fit. Some homes are moving quickly and cleanly, while others take time and require adjustments. Buyers are active, but they are thoughtful, comparing options and focusing on value before making a move.
• Buyer Tip
You have options right now, so use them. Take the time to compare homes and make sure it truly fits what you want. But when the right one shows up, especially in a strong price range, be ready to move.
• Seller Tip
Your success comes down to how well your home stands out. Buyers are not rushing, and they are comparing everything. Pricing, condition, and presentation will determine whether your home moves quickly or sits.
You do not need to time the market. You need to understand it.

It can be, but it depends on where your home falls.
If you are in that 1.05M to 1.249M range and your home shows well, buyers are moving quickly and not hesitating. Under 649K is more limited and can take time to find the right buyer. In the middle ranges, sellers are getting activity, but only when pricing and condition are dialed in. This is not a market where you can test the price and see what happens.
Yes, but you need to understand where you are shopping.
In the mid ranges, buyers have more time to compare and are not rushing decisions. Condos are giving buyers even more breathing room. But in certain pockets, especially when a home is well priced and stands out, things can still move quickly. This is a market where patience helps, but hesitation can still cost you the right house.
Yes, just not all the same way.
Some homes are going quickly with very little back and forth, while others are sitting and needing adjustments. The difference is not timing, it is how well the home matches what buyers expect at that price point.
In the parts of the market where there is more choice.
Condos are slower and give buyers more room to negotiate. The mid ranges also allow for more comparison before making a decision. The lower end and certain standout homes do not offer that same flexibility.

This Snohomish housing market update reflects January 2026 activity and shows a market that is slower, more deliberate, and far less forgiving than it was during peak years. Buyers are taking their time, sellers are becoming more realistic, and outcomes depend heavily on price point, condition, and strategy.
January’s numbers reflect a very typical winter slowdown. Nearly all housing types and price points are seeing longer days on market, showing just how patient both buyers and sellers have become. Even so, the market is still functioning, with 47 homes selling in January. One important trend this month is that several higher-priced homes that had been on the market for quite some time finally closed, pushing averages higher across the board.
That is exactly why looking beyond citywide averages matters, especially in a market that has felt uncertain for many.
At a high level, Snohomish remains active, but clearly slower. Homes are selling, contracts are being written, and buyers are engaged, but urgency is low. Longer days on market across the city reflect winter seasonality and the fact that many of the homes closing this month had been listed for quite some time.
This is not a stalled market — patience is simply becoming the new norm.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
New construction continues to be one of the more stable housing types in Snohomish, and even across Snohomish and King counties, though the slowdown is noticeable here as well. Buyers remain attracted to newer homes with modern layouts and lower short-term maintenance, but decisions are taking longer.
Homes that are priced realistically and positioned well are still moving. Builders who are pushing pricing or offering fewer incentives than their competitors are seeing longer timelines.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
The condo market is cautious. Buyers are weighing value carefully and are no longer rushing decisions, which is a consistent theme this month. Longer days on market reflect a negotiation-friendly environment where buyers feel comfortable taking their time.
For sellers, pricing, condition, and HOA clarity matter more than ever. Buyers have leverage in this segment.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
Townhomes continue to perform relatively well compared to other housing types, but they are not immune to the seasonal slowdown. Buyer interest remains steady, especially among those looking for lower maintenance than a detached home without moving into higher price points.
Well-priced townhomes are still selling. Others are taking longer as buyers compare options.

This range was expanded to $649K due to extremely limited resale inventory below this level. Snohomish is slowly becoming a market where first-time buyers need a stronger budget to enter, and resale options remain scarce.
This continues to be one of the tightest price ranges in Snohomish. Demand still exists, but winter conditions are slowing buyer decision-making. Homes are no longer flying off the market in days, even at the entry level.
Sellers still hold an advantage here, though patience is required.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This price range is feeling the slowdown more clearly. Buyer activity and available inventory are closely matched, and homes are spending more time on the market. Some of the longer timelines reflect homes that sold last month after sitting for extended periods, which has pushed averages higher.
Presentation and pricing play a major role in how quickly a home moves. Homes priced competitively are still selling, while others are sitting as buyers take their time.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This is where the market noticeably shifts. Buyers have options and are more deliberate, with many homes seeing significant buyer traffic before going under contract. Longer days on market are common, and sellers should expect fewer impulsive offers.
This range requires realistic pricing and a clear understanding of the competition.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This segment is clearly slower and more buyer-friendly. Homes are taking significantly longer to sell, and buyers are analytical and patient.
Many of the homes closing in this range had been on the market for an extended period, which is pulling averages higher and contributing to longer timelines overall.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This price range saw the highest number of homes sold this month. That does not indicate a surge in luxury demand. Instead, it reflects homes that had been sitting on the market finally finding the right buyer.
These longer timelines are skewing overall averages upward and contributing to the perception of a slower market citywide. Sellers in this range should expect patience to be part of the process unless a home truly stands out.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This is a slower, more patient market than what most people are used to seeing. Homes are still selling, but timelines are longer and buyers are taking their time. A lot of the data this month is being influenced by homes that sat through the winter and finally closed, which makes the market look more active than it actually feels day to day.
• Buyer Tip
You have more time than you think right now. Use it. Pay attention to value, condition, and how long homes have been sitting. There is opportunity here if you stay patient.
• Seller Tip
You need a strategy going into this market. Buyers are not rushing and they are not overpaying. If your home is not priced right from the start, you will feel it in your days on market.
These are the same reports I use when advising buyers and sellers on pricing, timing, and strategy. If you want to understand how this market applies to your specific home or price range in Snohomish, I’m always happy to walk through it with you.

https://snohomish.snohomesbybrandice.com/home
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.
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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 data only
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
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.

Source: NWMLS | Analysis by Brandice Raybourn
This is one of the slower months across the board for Everett. It is not just one price range or one property type. Everything took longer, and buyers were more selective about the homes they chose to move forward on. The market is still active, but it is more patient and less forgiving than what we saw at the end of last year.
• Buyer Tip
You have more time right now than you did a few months ago. Use it. Pay attention to value, condition, and how long homes have been sitting. There is opportunity here if you stay patient and make strategic decisions.
• Seller Tip
Expect longer timelines and more negotiation. Buyers are not rushing, and they are not overlooking issues. Pricing correctly from the start and presenting your home well will make a big difference in how quickly you get traction.
You do not need to time the market.
You need to understand it.
These are the same types of reports I use in my strategy sessions with buyers and sellers. If you are thinking about buying or selling in Everett and want to understand how this data applies to your specific home or price range, I am always happy to help.
