May 2026 — Matthew’s Analysis of the Everett Market
In May 2026, the median sales price across Everett residential came in at $675,000, down 7.5% from the month prior, while the median price per square foot stood at $389. Year over year the median is down 7.5%, a signal of some give in pricing power in this market.
On the supply side, Everett saw 159 new listings come to market in May 2026, against 204 homes for sale at month end. Active inventory is up 25.9% from a year ago, giving buyers a wider field of choices than they had last year. At roughly 2.6 months of supply, that points to a seller-favored balance by the conventional rule of thumb (under three months favors sellers, over six favors buyers).
Demand stayed active: 132 pending sales and 94 closings in May 2026. The median home took about 6 days to sell — a fast pace that rewards prepared buyers. Sellers are realizing about 100.0% of their original list price — at or above their original asking price, a sign sellers are holding leverage.
Taken together, the ten indicators describe a seller-leaning Everett market. Pricing has softened modestly year over year, while inventory and pace are the levers worth watching month to month. For a buyer or seller weighing a move, the right read is rarely a single headline number — it is the direction these series are trending together, which is exactly what the full charts below lay out.

Because Everett is the largest city in Snohomish County—with a diverse housing stock spanning historic homes near the waterfront, mid-century neighborhoods, and newer development, and prices that often differ meaningfully from one part of the city to the next—tracking localized data is essential for understanding general market direction. Whether you are timing a purchase or preparing to list, the data below provides a clear, objective look at current market conditions.

Why Direct Comps Reign Supreme
While median and average prices are useful for identifying broad market shifts, they are often too “macro” when you are trying to value a specific front door. To find the true market value of an Everett home, nothing beats a direct comparable (comp).

Direct comps account for the critical nuances that broader statistics completely ignore:
Hyper-Locality Matters
Everett is large and varied enough that a citywide average rarely fits any single home. West-facing bluffs in Northwest Everett and Rucker Hill capture Port Gardner Bay and Olympic Mountain views that can lift value well beyond 5% to 10% over an inland lot a few blocks east. The historic districts near downtown trade very differently from the newer subdivisions around Silver Lake and south Everett, while parcels near the Snohomish River carry floodplain considerations of their own. The city even spans more than one school district. A citywide average can’t see these lines; a direct comp reflects the reality of the specific street and neighborhood.
Accounting for Quality and Finishes
Broad data points can’t distinguish between builder-grade finishes and high-end custom upgrades. Whether a home features standard laminate or custom mitered-edge quartz, direct comps allow for “line-item” adjustments. Everett’s housing stock is unusually broad—from grand turn-of-the-century homes in the historic core to mid-century neighborhoods and 1990s-and-newer subdivisions to the south. Line-item adjustments ensure the premium investments made in a home’s interior are actually reflected in its valuation.
The “Vibe” Factor
Statistics often treat square footage as equal, but buyers don’t. A early-1900s Craftsman on Rucker Hill and a 2026 modern build in south Everett might share the exact same footprint, yet they appeal to entirely different buyer pools. Using direct comps ensures you’re comparing “apples to apples” by matching the architectural style, character, and lifestyle appeal of a property.
The Bottom Line: If you want to know what a home is worth in today’s market, look past the ZIP code averages and focus on the three or four most similar properties that have closed nearby.
