Mill Creek is an area very close to my heart. I grew up there as a teen. Its master-planned roots date to the early 1970s, when Tokyu Land Development acquired the land and United Development Corporation took over the planning. The original community grew around Mill Creek Country Club and its 18-hole golf course. For me, it sets a high standard for master-planned communities in the Pacific Northwest.
With a walkable Town Center full of shops, restaurants and services, Mill Creek has an enviable mix of development intertwined with natural landscaping, parks and trails.
This week’s report shows three new listings, three homes going pending and five closed sales. Those figures offer a snapshot of current activity, rather than enough evidence on their own to call a broader slowdown or a balanced market.

The latest seven-day activity
Weekly scope: MLS-coded detached-home proxy: Residential, style codes 10–18, 25 and 26, excluding Building Information “Attached/Zero Lot Line,” all prices. This is not independent verification that every home is physically detached.

Categories overlap. A listing may have more than one event, and Active may include a First Look transition. These are not unique inventory counts, first-ever listings, or net inventory changes. Sold events may follow contracts from earlier periods.
September 2026: monthly context
Different scope: InfoSparks City Mill Creek, Residential, all styles and prices, with other filters unrestricted. This broader series may include attached homes and does not match the weekly detached-home proxy. September is the latest complete calendar month; October is incomplete.
September closed sales increased to 19 from 16 a year earlier, while homes for sale rose to 43 from 31. Median market time fell from 37 to 25 days. With only 19 closings, changes in the mix of homes sold can move the median substantially; it is not a measure of appreciation for an individual property.

The charts compare the same September month in three years; they are not a continuous monthly series. Months of supply uses the source’s closed-sales measure. Median days on market is not the average.
What to consider next
For sellers, compare current competing homes, condition and recent comparable sales before setting a price. For buyers, review price changes and the relevant local alternatives. Citywide measures are a starting point, not a valuation or a guarantee of negotiating leverage.
Sources, boundaries and reproducibility
Weekly filter: City Mill Creek; Snohomish County; Residential; style codes 10-18,25,26; NOT Attached/Zero Lot Line; all prices; Washington. Geography follows the MLS City field rather than a separate municipal polygon. Unselected styles, including townhouse and manufactured-home styles, are excluded.
Both cities’ Active result criteria displayed “ChangeTypeHistory Modification Timestamp is 10/10/2026+.” The 7 Day selector runs through retrieval on October 17, 2026. Exact cutoff time and source query time zone were not displayed, so this is not a verified 168-hour interval or completed calendar week. The Active result boundary was checked for each city; separate event queries were not individually inspected.
Monthly September series capture began 2026-10-17T11:38:58.858000-07:00 (PDT); 2026-10-17T18:38:58.858Z (UTC). August comparison capture completed 2026-10-17T11:54:47.167000-07:00 (PDT); 2026-10-17T18:54:47.167Z (UTC). All five September 2026 values were also confirmed during the August chart checks. Data can change as records are revised.
NWMLS Market Watch · InfoSparks (member access). Retain these raw snapshots as the baseline. No previous-week percentage is shown because a matching adjacent window was not verified. Future comparisons beginning October 19 require the same scope and explicitly checked boundaries; overlapping 7 Day windows are not adjacent periods.
