Relocating To Everett, Washington

Thinking About Moving to Everett?

Everett is one of those cities that gives people a lot to work with. You have waterfront areas, historic neighborhoods, Boeing, Paine Field, parks, trails, more affordable price points than many nearby cities, and easy access to both Seattle and the North Sound.

What makes Everett interesting is how different it can feel from one area to the next. North Everett, Silver Lake, View Ridge, Riverside, Harborview, South Everett, and the neighborhoods near the waterfront can all offer a different lifestyle, housing style, and price point.

My take on Everett.

Everett has a lot more variety than people sometimes realize. You can find historic homes with character, condos near the waterfront, mid-century ramblers, newer townhomes, lakefront pockets, and entry-level options that may be harder to find in nearby cities.

The city has a very real working waterfront feel, but it also has neighborhoods that feel quiet, established, and residential. Downtown Everett has been changing, the waterfront has become more of a destination, and the city still offers access to jobs, transit, parks, and everyday amenities.

The biggest thing to know is that Everett is not one-size-fits-all. Some areas feel more urban, some feel more suburban, and some are all about access to the water, parks, or commute routes. That is why it is important to look closely at the specific neighborhood, not just the city name.

Everett Housing Market

Everett market trends change by price range and housing type.

Everett isn't moving as one market. I track local trends by housing type and price point to identify where buyers are competing, where they're negotiating, and what that means for sellers.
