🏡 June 2025 Market Snapshot: Stability Amid Shifting Conditions

As we enter the heart of summer, the real estate market in King and Snohomish Counties continues to show strength—though in a more balanced and steady form than the frenzied pace of years past. Inventory is up, competition has softened slightly, and prices remain stable or rising depending on the area.

Let’s dig into the latest numbers and what they mean for buyers and sellers navigating this mid-year market.

📊 Median Home Prices – June 2025

• King County: $925,000 — up 5.6% year-over-year
  
  

• Snohomish County: $774,958 — up 1.3% year-over-year
  
  

While the pace of appreciation has eased from its double-digit peaks in 2021–2022, we’re still seeing steady year-over-year growth—particularly in King County where pricing power remains strong. Snohomish is showing signs of moderation, but is holding its gains.

🏘️ What This Means for Sellers

With prices holding strong and buyer activity still healthy, well-prepared, well-marketed homes are selling well—especially in the first two weekends on market.

If you're considering listing, this summer may be the sweet spot:

• Inventory has increased, but is still well below the “balanced” 5–6 month level
  
  

• Buyers are active, and the best listings are still drawing strong offers
  
  

• Interest rates have dipped from earlier 2025 highs, giving buyers more flexibility
  
  

🔍 What This Means for Buyers

Despite talk of softening, this is still a competitive market in many neighborhoods—but there are real opportunities, especially for:

• Buyers who are pre-approved and prepared to act quickly
  
  

• Homes that linger on the market 10+ days and may offer room for negotiation
  
  

• Move-up buyers who can carry equity forward and benefit from future refinance potential
  
  

Pro Tip: With appreciation continuing (even slowly) and rates bouncing between 6.6–7.0%, waiting for “the perfect time” might cost more in the long run than acting now.

🧭 The Bottom Line

This June, our market isn’t overheated—but it isn’t cooling off either. It’s stable, active, and full of opportunity for those who are ready.

• Prices are still appreciating
  
  

• Inventory is more plentiful but still low historically
  
  

• Competition is tempered, but not gone
  
  

If you’re thinking of buying or selling this summer, the key is being informed, strategic, and proactive.
