The market is showing signs of change, and the numbers tell a compelling story. Whether you're buying or selling, understanding these trends is key to making smart real estate decisions. Market Inventory & New Listings For the first time in a while, inventory has been creeping up over the past couple of weeks. Snohomish County’s housing supply now sits at 1.0 month, a slight increase but still favoring sellers. Last week, 178 new listings entered the market. Year Over Year February 2024 vs February 2025 The number of new listings was up 2.7% last month versus a year ago. Interestingly, the total number of homes for sale was up 69% - WOW! But the number of homes that went under contract was down 5.8% last month. Offer Review Trends Sellers continue to use strategic pricing and offer review dates to drive competition. Forty-seven percent of sellers set Offer Review Dates (ORDs), potentially increasing the likelihood of multiple offers. Multiple Offers & Contingencies According to NWMLS data from March 18th - 25th: · 40% of pending homes received multiple offers. · 43% of accepted offers included an Inspection Contingency. · 70% of accepted offers included a Financing Addendum. How Fast Are Homes Selling? The market remains fast-moving, especially for well-prepared homes: · 56% of homes listed between March 9th – March 15th went under contract within 7 days. · 66% of homes listed between Feb 23rd – March 8th were under contract within 14 days. For homes that recently closed: · Average Days on Market: 33 days · Median Days on Market: Just 7 days · 31% of sellers received under list price · 42% of sellers received over asking price · 16% received 5% or more over asking · 6% received 10% or more over asking · 2% received at least 15% over asking · 1% received 20% or more over asking The Takeaway The market is shifting, but the story isn’t the same for every home. Inventory is up, and we’re seeing fewer buyers going under contract compared to this time last year. On top of that, a significant portion of last summer and fall’s listings are still sitting on the market. Here’s the breakdown: · 37% of active listings have been on the market for 30+ days. · 21% have been sitting for more than 60 days. And here’s the catch—it’s still a strong sellers’ market for “new listings”. Well-prepared, competitively priced homes are selling fast, often with multiple offers. Meanwhile, older listings may need price adjustments, strategic updates or to go off-market for 60 days and be relisted to attract fresh interest. Thinking about buying or selling?
