What’s Really Happening in the Silver Lake & Everett Real Estate Market This Fall

Fall always brings a shift in the Silver Lake and Everett real estate markets — leaves change, and so do buyer and seller behaviors. As a local Real Estate Professional and Managing Broker with Century 21 Real Estate Center, I’ve been tracking the numbers closely. In this update, I’m breaking down what’s happening now, what it means for you, and how to make smart decisions as we head into winter.

1. What the Numbers Are Saying

– **Home Prices:** Prices are holding relatively steady compared to last spring, but appreciation has slowed.
– **Inventory & Days on Market:** Inventory in Silver Lake and Everett has ticked up slightly, giving buyers more options.
– **Interest Rates & Buyer Behavior:** Higher rates have made buyers more cautious and selective.
– **Seller Concessions:** Some sellers are offering incentives (closing cost help, home warranties) to stay competitive.

Local Snapshot: One of my recent listings went under contract in just 3 days — even with seasonal slowdowns — because we priced it right and had it fully prepped from day one.

2. What This Means for You

For Sellers

Be strategic with pricing and presentation. A clean, staged, and well-maintained home always stands out. Consider offering small incentives or flexibility to make your listing more appealing.

For Buyers

Move quickly when the right home comes up. With good preparation, you can still find great opportunities even with higher rates.

For Homeowners (Not Selling Yet)

Keep an eye on your neighborhood comps and use the fall season to handle minor upgrades — fresh paint, landscaping, or small fixes that pay off later.

3. Local Perspective & Stories

As a Managing Broker and Growth Director in this region, I’ve helped clients navigate every kind of market. One client hesitated to buy last summer, hoping for better conditions later. By the time spring arrived, rates had climbed — and their purchasing power dropped. Acting strategically, even in uncertain times, can save you thousands.

4. What’s Ahead — Winter & Beyond

Expect a quieter winter with steady pricing for well-presented homes. If mortgage rates improve, expect renewed buyer activity by spring. Preparation and timing — not panic — are the real advantages right now.
