We had clients close on a home at the Cabins in the Farm in Suncadia recently, and it got me thinking about how the market there has shifted — and why right now is actually a genuinely good time to be a buyer.

How the Market Has Changed

During COVID, Suncadia was essentially sold out. Inventory was nearly zero, multiple offers were common, and buyers were paying over asking for properties they often hadn't even toured in person. That era is over.

Today the market looks very different. Inventory is meaningfully higher than we've seen in years. You have real choices — different neighborhoods within the community, different price points, new construction and resale both available.

The sellers in this market tend to be people who've moved out of the region and no longer need a Pacific Northwest second home, or investors who bought during the COVID frenzy and are now ready to exit. Either way, those are motivated sellers, and that dynamic creates opportunities for buyers that simply didn't exist two or three years ago.

What's Still True

Nothing at Suncadia is cheap. This is a resort community with HOA amenities, a managed environment, and a location that delivers genuine value. But "affordable" and "good value" aren't the same thing, and right now — relative to the past few years — you have more negotiating power than buyers have had in a long time.

New construction options are available from builders who are actively looking to sell finished inventory. Resale options have opened up. And the community itself is adding significant amenities this year with the Suncadia Social village project underway.

Our Experience There

We personally own at Suncadia and have for five years. We've done more transactions there this year than any previous year. We know the streets, the quality differences between builders and phases, which lots are worth the premium and which aren't.

If you've been thinking about a second home in the Pacific Northwest and Suncadia is on your radar, this is a good moment to have a real conversation about it.
