First quarter Skagit County home sales

(SKAGIT COUNTY)- The median price of Skagit County home sales was stable in the first quarter of 2026 but there were significantly fewer sales when compared to 2025, according to broker Adrik Brashear of Northwest Washington’s The Muljat Group.

This year’s first quarter saw 238 Skagit homes sold, down 16.8% from last year’s first quarter. The largest drops in home sales occurred in Sedro-Woolley (30.8%), Anacortes (23.6%) and Mount Vernon (16.4%), according to a news release.

The median price of Skagit County home sales dipped 1.3% to $590,000, according to Brashear, who uses data from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service. He said prices remain stable because there are enough qualified buyers who want to live in Skagit County.

“The first quarter is the slowest time of year in real estate,” Brashear said. “The seasonal decline likely was exacerbated by March’s rise in mortgage rates and some buyers pausing to assess the impact of the war with Iran.”

The median home sales price in individual communities in the first quarter ranged from a high of $694,500 in Anacortes to $437,000 in La Conner.
