Sno. Co. Lot Sales 3rd Quarter 2008

10-06-08
Toby Barnett
So it would seem that Snohomish County's lot sales have flat lined. In the 1st quarter there where 47 sales, 2nd quarter increased to 69 and in the 3rd quarter there where 67 sales, a decrease of 2.9%. In the current real estate climate, builders are not to anxious to purchase additional lots and it seems the purchases were made by custom builders picking up a few lots here and there.

Northcreek did boast the most sales in a single area with 19 in the Westcastle plat but unfortunately the lot sizes where not available and the second biggest sale was in Marysville with 14 lots. Marysville continues to sell lots all across the city but the numbers are not what they used to be.

Lot Sales 1st Quarter 2008

04-07-08
Toby Barnett
Even though it looks like contractors are still buying, developing and building homes the statistics show something different.

Snohomish County lot sales have dramatically fallen in the 1st Quarter 2008 by over 80% from 4th Quarter 2007 and more than 94% from 1st Quarter 2007. 1st Quarter 2008 produced 47 total lot sales where as in 1st Quarter 07 there were 889. This massive decrease reflects contractor's skepticism to buy, develop and build in such an unstable real estate market.

The city of Everett is getting close of putting through the following zoning changes and it may affect those that live near Everett Community College (EVCC) and Providence Everett Medical Center.

Top Snohomish County Builders

02-26-08
Toby Barnett
The report is just in and the results are astounding. Throughout Snohomish County we see many builders from the very large to the very small, the quality compared to price builders (shown by the higher Avg. $/Sq.Ft) and who offers the most Avg. Sq.Ft across their new construction homes.

Highlights

Quadrant Homes was the largest builder in Snohomish County by volume. Selling 286 units in 2007, and selling 940 statewide, makes Quadrant the largest builder by more than 50%.

The lowest Avg. $/Sq.Ft builder in Snohomish County was Seattle Pacific Homes at $139. Seattle Pacific Homes also came in at the 5th position with selling 70 homes in 2007.

John F Buchan Homes had the largest Avg. Sq.Ft and one of the highest Avg. $/Sq.Ft but only sold 15 homes in 2007.
