Q: What’s happening in the Everett and Snohomish County condo market in April 2026?
A: Snohomish County condo prices climbed to an average of $586,261 in April 2026, up 4.4% year over year — outpacing single-family appreciation in the same window. Inventory expanded to 2.7 months and average days on market stretched to 40 days, giving condo buyers more leverage than they have had in years. Median condo listing price across the county is $429,000. In Everett specifically, condos are moving in 22 days at 99% of original list price, but with the highest inventory of any property type in the city — meaning the most negotiating room is in the segment everybody else is ignoring.
Everyone watching the Snohomish County housing market in April 2026 is talking about single-family homes. The $735,750 median sale price (up 1.2% year over year), the 2.8-month inventory, the 99.9% sale-to-list ratio, the 35-day average time on market — those are the numbers in every neighborhood email and every Redfin link your friends keep sending you.
The condo and townhome story is doing something different, and it might be the most interesting price-segment movement of the year if you actually read it.
The county-level condo numbers
April 2026 average condo pricing for Snohomish County: $586,261, up 4.4% year over year.
That 4.4% is meaningfully ahead of the single-family resale appreciation rate of 1.2% in the same county over the same window. In a market where everyone is chasing single-family inventory at a 99.9% sale-to-list ratio, condos quietly outperformed in price growth.
At the same time:
- 2.7 months of inventory — modestly higher than single-family’s 2.0–2.8 months, depending on the slice.
- 40 days average on market for condos vs. roughly 35 days for single-family.
- $429,000 median condo listing price across Snohomish County — significantly below single-family’s median sale price of $735,750.
- 204 condos for sale on the day the county-level reports were pulled.
Translation: more inventory, more negotiating room, longer marketing windows, lower entry price — and stronger price growth than single-family. That is a combination buyers should not let pass without at least understanding what is in the listings.
What’s happening inside Everett
Zoom into Everett city limits and the condo segment behaves slightly differently than the county-wide read.
Everett condo activity is leaning slower and more price-sensitive overall, with inventory high relative to demand and buyers having plenty of options to compare. But when you look at what is actually selling, the picture is sharper than the macro suggests:
- 22 median days on market for Everett condos that close.
- 99% of original list price received by sellers.
- The most inventory of any Everett property type — which means buyers can actually shop instead of bidding blind.
That combination — fast turn for the listings that move, plenty to compare for buyers who don’t fall for the first one — is the cleanest condo buying environment Everett has produced in years. Older complexes with high HOA dues are sitting longer. Buildings with healthy reserves and reasonable dues are turning in three weeks at near-list.
The single-family contrast
Compare the condo numbers to where single-family resale sits in Snohomish County right now:
- Single-family resale prices holding near $877,000.
- Average sale at 99.8% of list.
- Inventory at 2.0 months.
- Residential resale remains the strongest lane for sellers and the tightest for buyers.
Single-family inventory in Snohomish County is still tight enough that buyers competing in that lane have very little leverage. Condos and new construction are giving buyers the room to negotiate that resale single-family does not.
The townhome wave that’s about to hit
The townhome segment is also worth watching specifically because of new product coming online. Conner Homes opens reservations on Saturday, April 25 — tomorrow as we publish this — for two new communities:
- Greenview Heights — pricing expected to start in the low $700s.
- Village Towns at Ten Trails — pricing expected to start in the mid $600s.
These are not Everett-specific projects, but they are part of the broader Snohomish County townhome and attached-housing pipeline that is expanding the entry-level product available to buyers priced out of single-family resale. Anyone shopping in the $600K–$750K range in 2026 should be evaluating new-construction townhomes against resale condos against entry-level single-family — the three lanes are converging on similar buyer profiles, and the leverage shifts depending on which lane you walk into first.
What buyers should actually do with this
If you are a buyer in Snohomish County in April 2026 and you are open to a condo or townhome:
1. Pull the inventory reports for the specific buildings you would consider. The county-level averages hide enormous variance between buildings. A condo in a building with $300/month dues, healthy reserves, and a young roof is a fundamentally different asset than a condo in a 1970s building with $700/month dues, deferred maintenance, and an upcoming special assessment. The same listing site shows you both.
2. Read the HOA financials before you write the offer. The single biggest reason condo deals fall apart in 2026 is HOA reserve studies showing a special assessment in the next 24 months. The buyer either walks or renegotiates, and either way the deal slows. Read the financials early.
3. Use the longer marketing window. Condos averaging 40 days on market means you have time to look, compare, and negotiate. Single-family at 35 days does not give you that. The condo segment in 2026 rewards patient buyers who actually shop.
4. Look at the new-construction townhome alternative. Conner Homes’ new launches and the broader new-construction townhome pipeline are explicitly competing with resale condos for the same buyer. Touring both before you decide makes the negotiation cleaner on whichever lane you choose.
What sellers should do
If you are selling a condo in Snohomish County in April 2026:
Get the reserve study and HOA financials in the listing packet. Buyers in 2026 are screening for special assessments before they tour. A clean reserve study is a price-supporting feature.
Price to your specific building, not to the county average. The 4.4% YoY county average masks huge variance. Healthy buildings are appreciating well above 4.4%. Older buildings with deferred maintenance are not. Pricing to the wrong comparable is the fastest way to add weeks to your marketing window.
If you are sitting at 60+ days on market in a healthy building, the issue is probably price, not the market. The 22-day median days on market for Everett condos that close tells you well-priced inventory still moves fast. The county average of 40 days is being pulled up by the long tail of mispriced listings.
Bottom line on Everett’s housing landscape this month
The Everett single-family story has been the lead in our housing coverage all spring, and rightly so — it is the segment most buyers are competing for and most sellers are listing. But the condo segment is producing a different opportunity that hasn’t gotten the same coverage: more inventory, longer windows, comparable closing-price discipline for the listings that move, and price appreciation that beat single-family year over year.
If you are a buyer who can be flexible on property type, April 2026 is the cleanest time to shop the condo lane in years. If you are a seller, read your HOA financials before you list and price to your actual building.
