We have been seeing a consistent hot market in Snohomish County through the spring and now into the summer. Snohomish County inventory has been experiencing all-time lows all year. Right now the county as a whole sits at 0.9 months’ supply of inventory. If you are contemplating selling, now is better than later being that there is absolutely NO competition. There is less than one month of homes on the market. Homes are selling between 98% – 109% in the price ranges $160,000 through $1,000,000. Homes are selling within days in most cities because there are more buyers than there are homes listed and interest rates are still very low. When interest rates are low it helps the buyer be able to afford more when buying a house.

As of May 31st, 2016, the current housing inventory for Snohomish County is only 0.9 months. That means that if no other homes come on the market houses will sell out within 1 month. Low inventory will suggest that homes are not sitting on the market for very long and most have multiple offers. Currently, Snohomish County as a whole home has a median time of 21 days on the market before they sell. This would suggest that buyers are in a great position to make an aggressive offer on a home. Sellers should make sure to price their home near or at the market value if they expect to get an offer from one of those interested buyers. Low inventory is one indicator that prices should continue to rise until there is a more balanced inventory. With that being said, fall and winter are coming and that is the season where the market will usually balance out.
