Team NSRG | October 31, 2026
There is often room to negotiate in Bothell, but it comes down to the individual home and the seller’s situation. Understanding a seller’s equity position and motivation can help a buyer craft a compelling offer. Sellers should price with concessions in mind. Unless their home is substantially unique and better prepared than the homes it is competing against, they should be prepared for buyers to request concessions or price reductions in the current market.
The pickup in price reductions is worth watching, though one week is only a short look at the market. The weekly figures use current-record property filters; monthly figures are broader Residential data and should be read separately.
Weekly activity and practical context Pending and Pending Inspection can include movements among statuses, so their separate counts should not be treated as a direct measure of demand.

Monthly context for your next decision With some homes taking longer to sell, I’d leave a little flexibility in your moving timeline. These monthly figures cover broader Residential sales, not detached homes alone.
Rates can change what feels comfortable for a buyer, even when the asking price looks reasonable. It’s worth talking through the monthly payment early so an offer fits your plans.
The mix of homes sold can move the average around, and the two lines don’t tell us what caused a price change or what one home is worth.

Sources and scope Weekly source and dates. Hot Sheet status events cross-referenced to the stated current-record property filters. Current displayed dates: October 24, 2026 through October 30, 2026. Prior displayed dates: October 17, 2026 through October 23, 2026. Both ranges include their endpoints; partial October 31 events are excluded. This is Matrix Change Type History / Hot Sheet, not a MarketWatch snapshot or a verified rolling 168-hour window. Source intraday boundaries and timezone were not displayed; Pacific is the market reporting convention, not a confirmed source timezone.
Exact weekly filters. Days Back 0–14; displayed Modification Timestamp October 31, 2026 to October 17, 2026; Washington; King and Snohomish counties; City Bothell; Property Type Single Family. Observed IDs were cross-referenced in Single Family General to Residential subtype; styles 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 25 and 26; NOT Building Information Attached or Zero Lot Line; Status is not Incomplete; no listing, sold or off-market date cutoff. Sale types: MLS; For Sale By Owner or Other MLS; Seller Representation Agreement; For Rent By Owner or Other MLS; Landlord Representation Agreement. Geography follows source City selections and selected counties, not an independently reconciled municipal boundary or saved MarketWatch area. Classification uses current records, not an independent historical detached-home audit. All 388 unique MLS IDs from the two city history results were submitted; 214 returned under the combined criteria. The individual exclusion reasons for the remaining 174 IDs were not audited, and no unrestricted availability audit was performed. No claim is made that every nonmatch is non-detached or that these counts provide full MarketWatch coverage.
Event definitions and changes. Active means status-change events, not new listings or current inventory. Sold means status-change events, not automatically sales grouped by closing date. Pending can include movements among pending statuses. Categories overlap and cross-listed homes may have different MLS IDs; do not sum the counts as unique homes or calculate absorption from them. Percentage change is (current minus prior) divided by prior, multiplied by 100. A zero prior count with positive current activity is N/A (new activity). When both counts are zero, 0% is a display convention rather than a division result.
Monthly property scope. InfoSparks City Bothell; Residential; all style codes, price ranges, bedrooms, lot sizes, construction types, square footages, waterfront and transaction sides; Monthly; 3 Years. Monthly figures are broader than detached-only. September 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026 is compared with August 1, 2026 through August 31, 2026 and September 1, 2025 through September 30, 2025. Changes use displayed values; year-over-year and month-over-month are percent changes, except median percent of last list price, which uses percentage points. Average Sales Price describes the mix sold, not appreciation of the same home.
Average Sales Price source. InfoSparks Average Sales Price for sold homes, Monthly, Residential, all other recorded filters unchanged; the two cities were verified separately. Broader Residential, not detached-only. Source: Authenticated InfoSparks city chart. Retrieval: October 31, 2026 at 17:24:15 UTC / 10:24:15 a.m. PDT (UTC−07:00). Source vintage: Chart observations captured October 31, 2026
Monthly rate source and common dates. Calculated monthly average of Freddie Mac weekly PMMS 30-year fixed rates, grouped by publication month. Holiday publication dates are preserved; incomplete October 2026 is excluded. No native FRED monthly export was used. The paired chart uses 13 complete common months, September 2025 through September 2026; neither series uses a second axis. Rate differences are percentage points; price changes are percent. All 56 retained weekly PMMS observations were grouped by their actual publication month, including holiday publication dates. Exact Decimal recomputation matches all 13 supplied monthly means and observation counts. This is calculated from weekly Freddie Mac PMMS, not a native FRED monthly export. Source: https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms/archive. Retrieval: October 31, 2026; separate rate-series retrieval time not recorded in the supplied source addendum. Vintage: October 31, 2026 retained archive observations
Current rate snapshot. Mortgage News Daily is a distinct daily series and methodology from the calculated monthly Freddie Mac chart. This is a date-stamped original snapshot, not a live or automatically updating dashboard, personalized quote or APR. Displayed observation date: October 30, 2026. Retrieval: October 31, 2026 at 17:29 UTC. Rates are percentages; daily changes are percentage points. Source: https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/markets/mortgage-rates-10302026.
Selected listing examples. The linked properties are selected, nonexhaustive verified examples, not search results or a complete list of activity. The event relationship comes from Matrix, not from the public listing page: MLS 2599777: Active event on October 30, 2026. Public pages matched the address, city, MLS ID, price and Active status when checked. Availability and asking prices can change.
Original collection timing. The retained Matrix and original monthly-metric collection batch was recorded October 31, 2026 at 16:53:06 UTC / 9:53:06 a.m. PDT (UTC−07:00). Individual original query times were not recorded. Updated price, rate and link retrieval timestamps are recorded separately above and in the source package.
