Team NSRG | October 26, 2026 | By Jeremy Minor
Everett buyers have more choices, but sellers are still finding an audience. My read is that a persuasive asking price and good preparation matter: September's broader Residential market had more homes for sale and fewer closings than a year ago, while the latest weekly view still recorded steady buyer activity.
What Buyers And Sellers Can Take From This
For buyers: Compare the homes available in your price range and look closely at condition and the total monthly payment. More selection gives you alternatives, but it does not make every asking price a bargain.
For sellers: Make the value clear from the start. Strong presentation and a price grounded in comparable homes can help you compete with the larger selection buyers are seeing.
The Latest Seven-Day View
Compared with our October 19 report, Active events and price reductions were unchanged at 25 and 26. Pending events rose from 22 to 25 and sold events from 14 to 18. That points to continuing buyer activity in these two snapshots, even while pricing remains an important part of the conversation.
October 19 and October 26 are saved report snapshots collected at different times. This is a previous-report comparison, not a verified comparison of adjacent seven-day periods. Listing-status events overlap and are not unique inventory counts.
September Context For Your Decision
September's broader Residential figures suggest a more selective market: homes for sale rose 33.0% year over year, while closed sales fell 26.8%. Average sold-home price was 5.4% below last September and 2.9% below August. These averages also reflect which homes sold, so I would use them as context rather than a verdict on any individual property's value.
Monthly figures cover broader Residential homes, not detached-only. Average prices reflect the mix of homes sold and do not measure individual-home appreciation.
Rates And Your Monthly Payment
The national 30-year fixed weekly survey averaged 6.67% in August and 6.86% in September. Price is only one part of affordability: compare the payment for the home and financing available to you. These national series do not establish why local prices changed.
Two complete months, not a sustained trend. Rates are arithmetic means of Freddie Mac weekly observations, not a downloaded monthly FRED export. The price series covers broader Residential homes.
Mortgage-Rate Snapshot: October 23, 2026
The latest dated Mortgage News Daily observation checked for this report was October 23. These national index readings are context, not a lender quote or live widget. MND's daily index differs from Freddie Mac's weekly survey; the two methods and their rates are not interchangeable.

Questions Buyers And Sellers Ask
Does the average price tell me what my home is worth?
No. It describes the mix of homes that sold. Recent comparable sales, current competition, condition and location provide a more useful starting point for an individual home.
Do these weekly counts equal the number of homes available?
No. They count listing-status events in the source view, and a listing can appear in more than one category. Monthly homes-for-sale figures are a separate, broader Residential measure.
Making Your Next Move
Everett offers room for a thoughtful move. Buyers can compare their options; sellers can stand out by getting the price and presentation right. If you are considering a move, I am happy to help you compare the homes that matter to your situation. - Jeremy
