April 2020 Market Insights
As we continue to adapt to our new normal, I wanted to take this opportunity to share some of the trends we’re seeing in Stanwood and Camano Island real estate.
Let’s start with April’s stats! The local market took a hit but wasn’t knocked out – the number of new listings, pending sales, and closed sales decreased but prices increased an average of 17 percent. We also had higher rates of engagement on our virtual home tours, which shows that buyers, sellers, and Realtors® are adopting new tools to keep moving forward through COVID-19.
Looking ahead, some of the lasting effects of COVID-19 might include:
- More businesses that choose to operate remotely, which could mean more people living in suburban areas like Stanwood and Camano Island rather than large cities
- Streamlined real estate processes with the help of digital tools for contracts, notaries, and even home tours
- A shift in what buyers are looking for, like more spacious homes or more outdoor living spaces
As always, we are here to help you navigate these changes and trends! Take a look at the full report for Stanwood and Camano Island and, if you have any questions about the report or about buying or selling your home, contact us! We look forward to continuing to serve you!
