🔍 What This Means If You’re Selling

• Strong buyer demand — Homes are still going quickly, especially well-priced, well-prepared ones. The shorter days on market means buyers are ready, but they expect good condition and value.

• Pricing matters more than ever — With listing prices creeping upward in some areas, overpricing can slow your sale or cost you in negotiations. You want to strike the right balance: one that motivates buyers but still maximizes your return.

• Market varies by neighborhood — Some parts of Anacortes (like Central) are seeing larger price gains and stronger competition. Knowing what your exact community is doing makes a big difference.

• Be ready to move fast — Buyers are acting quickly when the opportunity is good. If you list at the right price, with good staging and presentation, you can often expect multiple offers or at least strong interest.

  💡 Tips to Maximize Your Sale

1. Stage & make small updates — Little things like fresh paint, clean landscaping, decluttered spaces. They pay off because buyers often compare your home against well-presented others.

2. Price with insight — Use recent sold-comparable homes, neighborhood trends, and condition of your home. Avoid guessing.

3. Invest in smart marketing — High-quality photos, virtual tours, and highlighting views or special features make you stand out.

4. Work with a local expert — Someone who lives in or knows Anacortes, who follows every shift in buyer behavior and neighborhood trends.
