We have been seeing a consistent hot market in Snohomish County through the summer months. Snohomish County has been experiencing all time inventory lows all year. Also, interest rates are still at all-time lows. Compared to last month inventory is going up by a small amount. This month inventory sits at 1.1 months supply of inventory, last month was 0.9 months in Snohomish County. Homes are selling between 98% – 159% in the price ranges $10,000 through $1,000,000. When all price ranges are selling at full price and over this is usually because of the low inventory and the amount of buyers that need homes. Houses are selling within days of being on the market in most cities with multiple offers. Buyers are offering over asking price in most cases in order to get offers accepted. When interest rates are low it helps the buyer be able to afford more when buying a house so many people are taking advantage of this opportunity.

As of June 30th, 2016 the current housing inventory for Snohomish County is only 1.1 months. That means that if no other homes come on the market houses will sell out within a little over one 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 whole homes has an average time of 21 days on the market before they sell. This would suggest that buyers are in a position to make an aggressive offer on a home, especially if it is their dream 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. Sellers should beware when accepting offers too high over asking price because homes still have to appraise at the value in order for buyers to get financing.
