Inventory in Lake Stickney has ticked up, with 28 homes on the market in March and a 12% rise from the prior month, while new listings reached 22 and are up 15.79% year over year. Contract activity is cooler, as 15 pending sales represent a 31.82% drop from last year, pointing to slower buyer follow-through despite more options.
Pricing is adjusting to this shift, with the typical home value at $650,000, down 4.41% from a year ago and 5.1% month over month. Even so, the median list price in March stood higher at $672,450 and edged up 0.75% from the previous month, indicating sellers are still testing stronger asking prices.
Time on market has shortened to a median of 21 days, down 30% from last month but still much higher than a year ago, while 28.57% of listings saw a price cut and about 46% of homes sold above list with an average sale-to-list ratio of roughly 1.01. Compared with Snohomish County’s higher typical value of $749,475 and projected rise to $761,737, Lake Stickney remains relatively more affordable, even as its projected typical value dips to $632,550 and projected inventory inches up to 29.
