Eastside Market Update | June 2026

Main Takeaways:
• 📈 Inventory is at its highest level in over a decade
• 📊 Months of supply increased to 2.9 months, a 10-year high
• 📉 Pending sales are down 2% and closed sales are down 4%
• 💰 Median sale prices have declined 8% year-over-year

Current Conditions:
• Sellers are facing more competition as inventory grows
• Buyers have more choices, more negotiating power, and less urgency
• Well-priced homes are still attracting attention, while overpriced homes are being overlooked
• About 1 in 4 homes is still selling above list price

What This Means:
This isn't a "let's try it" pricing market. Success depends on thoughtful pricing, strong presentation, and expert guidance from day one. Buyers have more leverage, while sellers need a strategic approach to stand out.

We inherited a tough one. Busy arterial road. Outdated finishes. A seller who had already closed on their next home and needed this one gone — fast. The easy move? Price it low and hope for the best.

That's not our move.

We walked the property, built a strategy, and went to work. Fresh paint throughout, cabinets refinished in a warm greige, quartz countertops, undermount sinks, new carpet, refinished hardwoods. $25k invested with intention.

14 days on market. Full price offer. Closes in 30 days. The home was worth $550k as-is. It sold for $635k. That's an $85,000 return on a $25,000 investment — and a seller who gets to move into their new home without carrying two mortgages.
This is what a real pre-listing strategy looks like. If you're thinking about selling, let's have a conversation before you list. The details matter.

🎉 Just Closed! | 212 76th Pl SW, Everett, WA, USA

Preparation pays off. 👏

In a market where buyers are more selective than ever, updated homes with the heavy lifting already done have a clear advantage. My clients made strategic investments in their home before listing, and those thoughtful upgrades made a meaningful impact on the final outcome.

Congratulations to my wonderful clients on a successful sale!

Reimagined 1928 Cape Cod beach house on one of Vashon’s most beloved waterfronts — Quartermaster Harbor. Set on a shy half acre with approximately 150 feet of western-facing waterfront, this charming retreat captures the very best of Puget Sound living. Easy access from Seattle via water taxi or the Fauntleroy ferry makes this an incredible escape from the city, whether for weekends or extended stays. My clients are going to love making memories at this beautiful Pacific Northwest beach house, complete with glowing sunsets, peaceful harbor views, and timeless coastal charm.

Thrilled to help my client secure this incredible investment opportunity as Maui’s condo market continues to evolve. Located directly on stunning Napili Bay, the Napili Surf Condominium complex offers panoramic ocean and Molokai views from the living area, kitchen, and spacious second-story lanai. And of course, nothing compares to a Maui sunset.

Cristina,

Eleven years ago, I stood at the Hollywood Schoolhouse sweaty, nervous, and completely certain. You walked toward me calm and beautiful, and every person we love most in the world was watching. Grandma Mary was smiling. Our parents were beaming. It was the most perfect day I’ve ever known.

I’ve loved every year since, but I still come back to that one. The way you looked. The way the room felt. The way I knew, without a single doubt, that I was exactly where I was supposed to be.

Thank you for eleven years of being my partner, my best friend, and the love of my life. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Happy anniversary. I love you.
Sol
