🏡 Median Home Prices: A 3 Year Comparison

🏞️ 7 Lakes
After spiking significantly in 2024, 7 Lakes prices settled back down in 2025—but still ended higher than 2023. This suggests the 2024 jump may have been driven by a few high-end sales rather than a long-term trend. The market appears to be stabilizing.
🌲 Stanwood
Stanwood has seen a steady year-over-year decline in median prices since 2023. This trend could signal softening demand or greater affordability returning to the area.
🏙️ Marysville
Marysville has shown slight price fluctuations over the three years, with a mild dip in 2025. Overall, it’s a relatively stable market with no major swings—good for buyers and sellers looking for predictability.
🏡 Arlington
Arlington saw a dramatic increase in 2025, with median prices jumping well past 2023 and 2024 levels. This strong upward trend points to a surge in demand—possibly from buyers shifting from higher-priced neighboring areas.
📋 New Listings: Tracking Inventory Changes
The number of new listings reflects the fresh inventory entering the market. This is an important factor for both buyers and sellers. Here’s how new listings in 7 Lakes, Marysville, Stanwood, and Arlington have shifted over the past three years:
Click on this interactive graph to see data points and/or turn on and off areas.
🏞️ 7 Lakes
New listings more than doubled from 2024 to 2025 after hitting a low last year. This sharp rebound could indicate growing seller confidence or a release of pent-up inventory.
🌲 Stanwood
After two years of declining listings, Stanwood saw a solid increase this July. This could signal renewed activity and may help balance the market if buyer demand remains steady.
🏙️ Marysville
Inventory has bounced back from last year’s dip but still hasn’t returned to 2023 levels. While there’s more for buyers to choose from than in 2024, it’s still a tighter market than two years ago.
🏡 Arlington
Listings in Arlington have remained fairly consistent over the three-year period, with only minor changes. This stability suggests a balanced supply and steady seller interest.
🕒 Days on Market
Knowing how long homes stay on the market provides valuable insight into buyer demand. It also shows the pace of the local real estate market.

🏞️ 7 Lakes
Homes are selling faster than last year but still slower than in 2023. The slight decrease from 28 to 25 DOM in 2025 may indicate stronger buyer demand, but sellers should still be prepared for slightly longer market times compared to the peak of the market.
🌲 Stanwood
Days on market increased significantly this year, jumping from 9 to 24. This may reflect cooling buyer activity or more inventory entering the market, giving buyers more options and time to decide.
🏙️ Marysville
After hitting a low of just 7 days last July, homes are now taking about 13 days to sell. While still a quick turnaround, the increase suggests a slightly more competitive environment for sellers than in 2024.
🏡 Arlington
Arlington saw the largest increase in DOM, now averaging 28 days—its highest in three years. This shift could suggest slower buyer activity, increased inventory, or pricing that’s slightly ahead of buyer expectations.
📊 Total Sold Listings
The number of sold listings indicates buyer demand and overall market health.
Click on this interactive graph to see data points and/or turn on and off areas.
🏞️ 7 Lakes
Sold listings jumped from 10 to 14 year-over-year, surpassing even 2023. This could reflect increased buyer interest or a rebound in closed transactions after a quieter 2024.
🌲 Stanwood
Sales remained relatively stable, dipping slightly from 33 to 35. This suggests a balanced market with consistent demand, though not much acceleration in activity.
🏙️ Marysville
Marysville saw a notable drop—from 115 in both 2023 and 2024 to just 88 in 2025. This dip may point to slowed buyer activity or fewer homes successfully making it to the closing table, despite steady listing activity.
🏡 Arlington
Arlington had the most noticeable rise in sales—up to 55 from 47 last year. This increase, paired with rising median prices, could indicate Arlington is becoming a stronger draw for active buyers.
📈 Price Per Square Foot
Price per square foot provides insight into property value trends. It shows how much buyers are willing to pay for space in each area.

🏞️ 7 Lakes
Price per sq ft in 7 Lakes rebounded in 2025 to $397, up from $341 in 2024 but still below the $438 peak in 2023. This suggests some regained value after a dip, possibly reflecting a shift back toward higher-end or waterfront sales.
🌲 Stanwood
Stanwood continued its steady climb—up to $353 from $351 in 2024 and $344 in 2023. The consistency suggests a stable market with gradual appreciation.
🏙️ Marysville
Marysville saw a modest dip to $336 from $349 last year, though still higher than $305 in 2023. Prices remain elevated overall, but buyers may be seeing slightly better value this year.
🏡 Arlington
Arlington hit a new high at $377/sq ft, up from $358 last year and $342 in 2023. This reinforces what we’ve seen in other metrics—strong demand and rising home values in this area.
