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.
