Skagit County Market Update: Week of November 24, 2025
It occurs to me that people expect every market update to come with some kind of dramatic headline — “Prices Surge!” or “Market Crashes!”
This week in Skagit County is the exact opposite of that. And honestly, that’s healthy.
Let’s look at the numbers without trying to spin them into something they’re not.
Countywide:
-
Median sale price: $576,640, down 1.4% from last year.
-
Median days on market: 28 (last year was 29).
-
Active listings: 728, which is… finally starting to feel like choices again.
A 1.4% price dip isn’t a trend. It’s a shrug. It simply means buyers and sellers are working within a narrow band of value and nobody’s losing their mind.
Mount Vernon:
-
Prices are up 0.8% year-over-year.
-
Days on market jumped from 10 to 26 — not a meltdown, just the market breathing normally again.
Burlington:
-
Prices basically haven’t moved at all.
-
A true definition of “holding steady.”
Here’s the slightly contrarian take:
A calm market is underrated. When everything slows down just enough, buyers make better decisions and sellers stop expecting unicorn offers. It’s the part of the cycle that resets expectations in a pretty humane way.
If you’re trying to time the market, this probably feels confusing. But if you’re trying to buy a house you actually want to live in, or sell a house without ripping your hair out, this is a decent environment.
If you want to walk through what these numbers mean for your situation — or whether you should even be thinking about moving — I’m here. Look, it’s going to be alright. We’ll figure it out.
