Snohomish County Real Estate: What You Need to Know This Spring

By Kim Pelham | The Pelham Group NW at Katrina Eileen Real Estate

Spring is in full swing in Snohomish County, and with it comes fresh opportunity in the local real estate market. Whether you’re thinking about buying your first home, upgrading your space, or exploring investment options, now is a great time to get a pulse on what’s happening—and how to position yourself for success.

📍 The Snohomish County Snapshot

According to the April 2025 Market Snapshot from the Northwest MLS, Snohomish County saw a significant 84.8% increase in active listings year-over-year. That’s one of the largest inventory surges in the region, giving buyers far more options than we’ve seen in recent years.

  • Active Listings: 1,325
  • Pending Sales: 1,027 (↓5.95% YoY)
  • Closed Sales: 840 (↓2.44% YoY)
  • Median Sales Price: $755,500 (↑2.37% YoY)
  • Months of Inventory: 1.58

With more homes available and prices holding steady, buyers have room to explore, compare, and negotiate—a welcome shift from the ultra-competitive landscape of the past few years.

🏡 What This Means for Sellers

While more inventory means more competition, it also means more motivated buyers are returning to the market with stable interest rates and flexible timing. A well-prepared, strategically priced home can still sell quickly—especially in sought-after areas like Bothell, Lynnwood, Edmonds, and Lake Stevens.

I’ll help you:
✅ Price your home to match current market demand
✅ Stage and present your property to stand out
✅ Market it to the right buyers across multiple platforms

🔑 For Buyers: Opportunity Is Knocking

With inventory nearly doubling compared to last year, buyers have more to choose from without the frenzy. If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a more balanced market, this could be your moment.

I’ll guide you through:
✅ Touring and comparing homes with confidence
✅ Understanding financing and down payment assistance options
✅ Making offers that are competitive yet smart
