Inventory in Lake Stevens has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with active listings up more than 18% from a year ago to 254. New listings are also higher year over year by about 17%, signaling more owners are testing the market. Even with that added supply, pending sales and closed sales are both running above last year, showing buyers are still engaging.
Contract activity has picked up alongside that inventory. Homes sold are up more than 15% compared with the same period last year, while pending sales have risen nearly 6%, and months of supply has climbed to 2.7, about 50% higher than a year ago, which eases some of the intense pressure seen previously.
Pricing has adjusted to these conditions, with the typical home value edging down about 1% year over year even as the average sale-to-list ratio holds essentially at 100%. Sellers are seeing fewer bidding wars than last spring, with the share of homes selling above list down several points from a year ago to about 28%, and homes now spending a median of 21 days on the market compared with much shorter times last year. Despite this, more than half of listings still go under contract within two weeks, underscoring steady demand.
