📊 October 2025 Market Overview & Insights
The Snohomish County housing market remained steady through October, showing signs of stability rather than major shifts. Median sales prices were mixed, with most areas holding onto or slightly exceeding last year’s levels. Stanwood led price growth again this month, while 7 Lakes saw a modest dip following a strong summer.
Inventory levels remain moderate—up slightly in some communities—giving buyers more options without dramatically shifting market balance. Pending and closed sales both rose in Marysville and Stanwood, signaling continued buyer activity even as interest rates hover near their seasonal highs. Overall, the market is performing consistently with early fall expectations: a slower pace than spring but still active and competitive for well-priced homes.
🏡 For Buyers
Buyers are finding more breathing room compared to last year, with a gradual rise in active listings and slightly longer market times in some areas. This gives motivated buyers a better chance to negotiate and secure inspections or closing cost help. However, rising prices in Stanwood and Arlington show that desirable homes are still moving quickly. If you’re financing a purchase, it’s wise to stay pre-approved and ready to act when the right home appears.
💼 For Sellers
Sellers continue to benefit from steady demand, especially in communities with limited inventory. Homes priced strategically—aligned with recent comparable sales—are still selling within reasonable timeframes. Price per square foot growth across nearly all markets reinforces that well-maintained homes continue to command strong offers. As winter approaches, professional presentation and realistic pricing will be key to attracting serious buyers before the year’s end.
📊 Market Insights
The October data suggests that Snohomish County’s real estate market is entering a balanced phase—neither heavily favoring buyers nor sellers. With mortgage rates expected to remain stable, activity should continue at a sustainable pace into the holidays.
For those waiting for major price drops, the data tells a different story: local values are holding firm, particularly in the Marysville and Stanwood areas. For both buyers and sellers, success in this market comes down to timing, preparation, and strategy.
