Mill Creek Detached Home Market Update | November 7, 2026

Team NSRG | November 7, 2026

Mill Creek buyers had more homes to choose from in October than a year earlier, and the median time on market was longer. If you're selling, I'd build a little flexibility into the plan and look carefully at how your home compares with the other choices a buyer has.

For buyers, that extra choice is a reason to compare the home and the terms, then ask what might make an offer work for the seller. For sellers, preparation and a thoughtful asking price can help the home stand out. A request for a concession still needs to be considered in the context of the whole offer.

A look at this week's activity

A small group of listings can make Mill Creek's weekly picture look different quickly. The latest view includes five Active events and four Pending events. I'd take a closer look at the specific homes rather than use those counts alone to judge how competitive an offer needs to be.

October's broader market picture

October's average sold price was lower than both September and the same month last year. There were more closings than a year earlier, but fewer than in September. With 15 closed sales, which homes happened to sell can make a noticeable difference to the city's average.

Homes took longer to sell at the median than in either comparison month, while inventory remained above last October. Sellers may benefit from planning for both time and negotiation. Buyers should still compare each home's condition and asking price rather than assume the citywide figures describe every listing.

Rates and average sales prices

The monthly payment still matters. Before getting too attached to an asking price, it can help to talk through how the rate and the terms of an offer fit your budget. The chart keeps national rates and local sold prices on separate scales so each can be read clearly.

A couple of common questions

Does the change in average price tell me what my home is worth?

No. The average describes the homes that closed that month. A more useful starting point for your home is a set of recent, comparable sales, along with the properties a buyer can choose from today.

Can I add up the weekly counts to find the number of homes available?

No. These are status events. A home can appear in more than one category, including First Look and then Active. Available inventory is a separate measure.
