Fall can still be a great time to sell but today’s buyers have more choices.
In August, Snohomish County inventory was up 39.3% compared with last year, while the median sales price was $724,500. With the average 30-year mortgage rate now around 6.95%, buyers are being especially thoughtful about price, condition and value.
That means the details matter:
Keep the exterior clean and inviting.
Brighten the home with warm, welcoming lighting.
Clean the windows and remove fallen leaves.
Complete deferred maintenance before listing.
Most importantly, price the home for today’s market—not last year’s.
More inventory doesn’t mean your home won’t sell. It means preparation, presentation and pricing matter even more.
