š Conclusion: What the Data Tells Us
Overall, the August numbers highlight a mixed but balanced market. Prices remain higher than two years ago across all four areas, even with some year-over-year declines in places like Stanwood and 7 Lakes. Inventory is rising compared to last year, especially in Stanwood and Arlington, giving buyers more options. At the same time, homes are still selling in healthy ranges, showing demand is steady despite seasonal slowdowns.
š” For Buyers
The increase in new listings means more choices and less competition compared to last year. Stanwood in particular shows softer prices and more supply, which could create negotiation opportunities. Buyers in Arlington and Marysville should act quickly on well-priced homes, as these areas remain competitive despite modest shifts.
š¼ For Sellers
Sellers still benefit from strong home values that are well above 2023 levels, but pricing strategy is more important than ever. Overpricing can cause homes to linger as buyers have more options to compare. Properties that are move-in ready and priced competitively are the ones generating the strongest offers.
š Market Insights
The market is transitioning from the ultra-competitive environment of the last few years to a more balanced state. Buyers should take advantage of increased choices, while sellers can feel confident knowing demand hasnāt disappeared. With mortgage rates still a key factor, both sides will benefit from working with experienced professionals who can guide them through timing, pricing, and negotiation.
