Marysville, WA Real Estate Market Update – October 2026
Marysville Home Prices, Housing Inventory, and What Buyers & Sellers Need to Know
By Tracie Diemert, Realtor® | Diemert Properties Group | Keller Williams North Sound
What’s happening in the Marysville, WA housing market as we head toward the end of 2026?
October’s real estate numbers tell an interesting story. Home prices increased compared to last October, but buyer activity slowed, and the number of homes available for sale grew significantly.
For Marysville homeowners thinking about selling, this means understanding your competition and pricing your home strategically is more important than ever.
For buyers, more available homes means more properties to consider and potentially more opportunities to negotiate.
As a Marysville Realtor with over 20 years of experience helping buyers and sellers throughout Snohomish County, I believe the most important part of a market report isn’t just sharing numbers. It’s helping you understand what those numbers mean for your next move.
Let’s look at the latest October 2026 housing market statistics for Marysville ZIP code 98270.
TL;DR: Marysville Housing Market at a Glance – October 2026
- Median home price: $694,500, up 8.5% from October 2025.
- Homes for sale: 207, up 53.3%.
- Pending sales: 45, down 34.8%.
- Closed sales: 50, down 25.4%.
- Days on market: 34 days, compared with 44 last October.
- Months of inventory: 3.9, up from 2.4.
- New listings: 69, down 4.2%.
The bottom line: October’s median sales price was higher than a year ago, but there were more homes competing for buyers and fewer sales under contract. Buyers have more options, while sellers need a pricing and marketing strategy based on current conditions.

Marysville Home Prices Increased 8.5% in October
One of the biggest headlines in the October Marysville housing market report is the increase in the median sales price.
The median residential sales price reached $694,500 in October 2026, compared with $640,000 in October 2025.
That’s an 8.5% year-over-year increase.
The average sales price also increased 3.6%, from $660,016 to $683,696.
However, it’s important to look beyond one month.
What Do the Year-to-Date Home Prices Show?
Through October 2026, the year-to-date median residential sales price in ZIP code 98270 was $657,500, compared with $672,329 during the same period in 2025.
That’s a 2.2% decrease.
The year-to-date average sales price was $670,363, down 1.9%.
This distinction matters.
While October’s median price increased, the broader year-to-date numbers show a different trend.
A change in median sales price doesn’t necessarily mean every individual home has gained or lost that percentage in value. The types, sizes, locations, and conditions of properties sold can affect the median.
My advice for Marysville homeowners: If you’re curious what your home could sell for, look at recent comparable sales in your specific neighborhood rather than relying on a countywide statistic or an automated estimate alone.
Marysville Housing Inventory Increased 53.3%
One of the most significant changes in the October 2026 Marysville real estate market is the amount of available inventory.
There were 207 residential homes for sale in October 2026, compared with 135 during October 2025.
That’s a 53.3% increase.
Months of inventory also rose from 2.4 months to 3.9 months, a 62.5% increase.
Interestingly, new listings for the month actually declined slightly, from 72 last October to 69 this October.
What Does This Mean?
The market has more homes available for buyers to consider, even though fewer new listings entered the market during October compared with last year.
For buyers, this means more choices.
For sellers, it means more competition.
If you’re selling a home in Marysville, your property isn’t being evaluated in isolation. Buyers are comparing it with other available homes in the same price range.
They’re looking at location, condition, updates, floor plans, lot sizes, and overall value.
This is why pricing your home correctly from the beginning is so important.
Pending Home Sales Dropped 34.8%
Another important number from October is the decline in pending sales.
Marysville recorded 45 pending residential sales, compared with 69 during October 2025.
That’s a 34.8% decrease.
Closed sales also declined from 67 to 50, a decrease of 25.4%.
Looking at the year-to-date numbers, pending sales were down 2.3%, while closed sales were down 10.9%.
What Does Slower Sales Activity Mean?
The October numbers show fewer homes going under contract and fewer completed sales compared with the same month last year.
Combined with higher inventory, this suggests buyers have more options relative to the number of transactions taking place.
However, the data doesn’t tell us exactly why individual buyers are choosing to purchase or wait.
Factors such as affordability, property condition, financing, and personal circumstances can all influence a real estate decision.
For sellers, the important takeaway is to pay close attention to how buyers respond to your listing once it hits the market.
Homes Sold Faster in October Despite Higher Inventory
Here’s an interesting contrast in the October numbers.
Even with more available homes and fewer sales, properties that closed in October spent less time on the market than those that closed in October 2025.
The average days on market until sale decreased from 44 days to 34 days, a 22.7% improvement.
However, year-to-date days on market increased from 34 days to 38 days, an 11.8% increase.
What Does This Tell Us?
The homes that sold during October moved more quickly than those sold in the same month last year.
But the year-to-date numbers show that, overall, homes have taken longer to sell during 2026.
It’s important to remember that days on market until sale measures properties that sold. It doesn’t necessarily represent how long every active listing has been available.
For homeowners considering selling, I recommend looking at both recent closed sales and the competition currently on the market.
Marysville Sellers Received 99.8% of List Price
The Northwest MLS reported that residential sellers received an average of 99.8% of their list price in October 2026, unchanged from October 2025.
That sounds encouraging, but there’s an important detail.
The percentage of list price received does not account for seller concessions or down-payment assistance.
It also doesn’t tell us whether a property had price reductions before going under contract.
That’s why I encourage sellers to focus on their estimated net proceeds rather than only the final sales price.
A well-planned sale considers pricing, marketing, carrying costs, timing, and the terms of the offer.
Marysville Condo Market Update – October 2026
The condominium market in Marysville ZIP code 98270 showed substantial changes in October, but it’s important to keep in mind the small number of sales.
October 2026 Condo Statistics
| Market Metric | October 2025 | October 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Listings | 4 | 1 | ↓ 75.0% |
| Pending Sales | 4 | 3 | ↓ 25.0% |
| Closed Sales | 1 | 2 | ↑ 100.0% |
| Days on Market Until Sale | 5 | 94 | ↑ 1,780.0% |
| Median Sales Price | $395,000 | $452,495 | ↑ 14.6% |
| Average Sales Price | $395,000 | $452,495 | ↑ 14.6% |
| Homes for Sale | 8 | 25 | ↑ 212.5% |
| Months of Inventory | 3.0 | 11.1 | ↑ 270.0% |
Only two condominium sales closed in October 2026, compared with one in October 2025.
Because the sample size is so small, monthly percentage changes can look dramatic and should be interpreted cautiously.
What Do the Year-to-Date Condo Numbers Show?
Through October 2026:
- The median condo sales price was $438,500, down 9.1%.
- Closed condo sales totaled 22, up 22.2%.
- Average days on market reached 46, up 39.4%.
- New condo listings totaled 51, up 59.4%.
With 25 condos available and 11.1 months of inventory reported in October, this segment has considerably more supply relative to its recent sales pace than the residential market.
Condo owners considering selling should carefully review recent comparable sales, active competition, HOA costs, and property-specific factors before determining an asking price.
What Does the October Market Mean for Marysville Home Sellers?
If you’re thinking about selling your home in Marysville, the October numbers highlight why having a thoughtful plan matters.
The median sales price increased compared with last year, but pending sales declined and inventory grew significantly.
That means sellers shouldn’t assume higher median prices automatically translate into a higher value for their individual property.
Three Things I’d Focus On Before Listing
1. Price based on today’s competition.
Your home needs to make sense alongside the other properties buyers are considering.
I look at recent sales, current listings, pending properties, and price adjustments to help determine a competitive pricing strategy.
2. Make a strong first impression.
Professional photography, thoughtful staging, preparation, and compelling marketing help buyers understand what makes your home special.
3. Watch buyer activity and respond to the market.
Once a home is listed, showing activity, feedback, competing listings, and changes in local inventory all provide useful information.
The goal isn’t simply to list your home. It’s to position it to attract qualified buyers and help you achieve the best possible outcome for your circumstances.

What Does the October Market Mean for Marysville Home Buyers?
For buyers, the increase in inventory may create opportunities.
With 207 residential homes available in ZIP code 98270 during October, there were significantly more choices than a year earlier.
Depending on the property and seller’s circumstances, buyers may have opportunities to negotiate:
- Purchase price
- Seller-paid closing costs
- Inspection-related repairs or credits
- Closing timelines
- Other contract terms
However, every home and situation is different.
A competitively priced home in a desirable location may still attract strong interest.
The best approach is to understand recent comparable sales, the home’s condition, and the current competition before making an offer.

Is Marysville, WA a Buyer’s Market or Seller’s Market?
With 3.9 months of residential inventory in October 2026, Marysville ZIP code 98270 has more available housing supply relative to its sales pace than it did last year.
That suggests a market moving toward more balanced conditions.
However, one inventory figure doesn’t tell the entire story.
A rambler, newer construction home, acreage property, condominium, or luxury home may each experience different levels of demand.
The best way to understand whether buyers or sellers have more leverage is to evaluate the specific neighborhood, property type, and price range.
