We have owned our Snohomish real estate office for 48 years and in the last three years have been dealing with the inability to provide one-floor homes to folks that have that need. The trend for builders in the greater Everett area is to build two-story homes with all the bedrooms on the second floor.
We belong to the multiple listing service and notice the same trend throughout the Puget Sound region. We have taken note that many of the buyers for one-level homes are cash buyers purchasing for the second or third tie. When a one-story home comes on the market, which is rare, the selling time is just hours. We have been waiting for this situation to change, but it’s not happening. In Skagit County, one builder has been filling this needed for the past few years.
