Snohomish Housing Market Update for September 2025

By: Brandice Raybourn

Quick Take:

The Snohomish market continues to shift, and the numbers show that not every price range is moving the same. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, here’s what you need to know right now.

Residential Resale Only

📊 Closed Sales: A Split Market

There were 97 closed sales in Snohomish this past month, almost flat compared to last year (+1%). But the breakdown tells a very different story.

  • Under $600K: Sales exploded, up 266.7% from last year. Homes in this range are still highly in demand.

  • $601K–$849K: Down 31.9% year-over-year. Buyers here are moving more cautiously.

  • $850K–$1.149M: Sales jumped 68.8%, showing strong demand in this bracket.

  • $1.15M+: Down 12.9%, signaling a slowdown at the very top of the market.

👉🏼 Sellers: If you’re listing above $1.15M, be prepared for a slower pace. Mid-market sellers ($850K–$1.149M) are in a sweet spot right now.
👉🏼 Buyers: Under $600K is still red hot, but you’ll have more leverage in the higher brackets where sales have slowed.

⏱️ Days on Market: Homes Sitting Longer

The median days on market is 17 across the city, up 54.5% from last year.

  • Under $600K: Just 7 days. Homes here are still moving fast.

  • $601K–$849K: 18 days on average, almost double last year.

  • $850K–$1.149M: 21 days, up more than 75%.

  • $1.15M+: 28 days, up 100%.

👉🏼 Sellers: Pricing and presentation matter more than ever. Overprice it and you’ll sit.
👉🏼 Buyers: You’ve got more breathing room in nearly every range — except under $600K, where you’ll need to act quickly.

💰 Median Sales Price: Citywide Increase

The median sales price is $905,000, up 13.9% compared to last year.

  • Under $600K: $564,900, up 4%.

  • $601K–$849K: $745,000, up 7%.

  • $850K–$1.149M: $985,000, up 6%.

  • $1.15M+: $1.38M, up 7.7%.

👉🏼 Sellers: Buyers are still paying, especially in that $850K–$1.149M range.
👉🏼 Buyers: Waiting for prices to drop? That’s not happening across most of Snohomish.

🏡 Homes for Sale: Inventory Rising

There are now 190 active listings in Snohomish, up 17.3% from last year.

  • Under $600K: 12 homes, up 20%.

  • $601K–$849K: 52 homes, up 23.8%.

  • $850K–$1.149M: 55 homes, up 22.2%.

  • $1.15M+: 71 homes, up 11%.

👉🏼 Sellers: More competition means you can’t just list and wait — marketing and pricing are everything.
👉🏼 Buyers: More choices mean less pressure, but the good homes still go fast.

📉 % of Original List Price: Negotiation is Back

Homes in Snohomish are selling for 98.4% of original list price on average, down 1.6% from last year.

  • Under $600K: 100% — sellers are getting their price.

  • $601K–$849K: 97.5%, down 2.9%.

  • $850K–$1.149M: 98.3%, down 1.6%.

  • $1.15M+: 98.7%, down 1.3%.

👉🏼 Sellers: Expect offers to come in under asking unless you’re under $600K.
👉🏼 Buyers: You’ve got room to negotiate in most ranges — but not at the bottom of the market.

✅ Takeaway

The Snohomish market is a tale of two stories: fast-moving homes under $600K and selective buyers above that range. Sellers need to be realistic and strategic, while buyers finally have some leverage back.

Exceptional Real Estate Agent – Highly Recommend Brandice!

We had the pleasure of working with Brandice during a particularly challenging property sale, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her expertise and dedication. From the very beginning, Brandice went above and beyond to help us navigate a tough market. She stuck with us through every twist and turn, offering insightful guidance and unwavering support.

Our sale was complicated by HOA special assessments and limitations, but Brandice handled it all with professionalism and grace. She took the initiative to coordinate with repair companies and manage ongoing construction, relieving us of a huge burden. Her ability to secure the best quotes for condo touchups, while being completely transparent about the pros and cons of each option, was incredibly helpful.

She also provided strategic advice on pricing and incentives, helping us make informed adjustments that ultimately led to a successful sale. Brandice’s commitment, communication, and attention to detail truly set her apart.

We are extremely pleased with her services and would highly recommend Brandice to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely caring real estate agent!

Amazing Experience!
I’m surprised Brandice doesn’t have any reviews yet because she’s amazing! I was moving from Arizona to Washington and she made the whole process so easy. She did virtual tours, FaceTimed me, and kept in touch the entire time. She’s super friendly, personable and answered all my questions, and helped me find the perfect home in Lake Stevens. Highly recommend!

This was my first time buying a house in Washington. I was nervous and scared at the same time but Brandice made me feel comfortable and confident with my decision. She was there the whole way through this journey with me. I have to say it was a very smooth transaction. Brandice had high professional agents. We got everything done in two weeks. She took the time to do a walk through with me and explained everything in the house. I have to say I would do it all over again with Brandice. She was very transparent with everything. You want an agent who’s willing to be honest with you.
