Renters hold 30.6% of the city's 25,969 occupied homes, yet only 11.0% of Marysville's housing stock sits in buildings of five units or more, a thin supply that favors owners who sell commercial property in Marysville, WA. The Cascade Industrial Center and the Tulalip Tribes' enterprises just west of the city limits add commercial depth beyond downtown Marysville's retail core.

Who Rents in Marysville
Renters occupied 30.6% of Marysville's 25,969 occupied homes in the Census Bureau's 2020-2024 American Community Survey, or 7,954 renter households (ACS table B25003). Just 11.0% of the city's 26,663 housing units sit in buildings with five or more apartments, compared with 20.7% across Snohomish County, so standing multifamily assets are scarce inside Marysville proper (ACS table B25024). The median Marysville home dates to 1994, newer than the county's 1990 median, and 31.7% of structures were built before 1980. That scarcity is why owners selling commercial property in Marysville face a narrower pool of comparable buildings than in older Snohomish County cities.
Rents and Affordability
Marysville's median gross rent is $1,997 a month under ACS 2020-2024 data, below HUD's FY2027 Fair Market Rent of $2,549 for a two-bedroom unit across the Seattle-Bellevue, WA HUD Metro FMR Area (HUD FMR documentation). More than half of Marysville renters, 52.7%, pay 30% or more of income toward rent, and 23.6% pay 50% or more, close to the county's 51.6% and 23.6% shares. Investors who sell commercial real estate in Marysville, WA can point to that rent-burden gap as a sign of durable renter demand.
| Unit size | HUD FY2027 FMR |
|---|---|
| Efficiency | $2,091 |
| One-bedroom | $2,180 |
| Two-bedroom | $2,549 |
| Three-bedroom | $3,324 |
| Four-bedroom | $3,954 |
Property Taxes in Snohomish County
Snohomish County set Marysville's 2026 predominant property tax levy at $7.4860 per $1,000 of assessed value, per the county assessor's January 2026 press release. On a $2,000,000 assessed commercial property, that levy produces a $14,972 annual tax bill ($2,000,000 divided by 1,000, times 7.4860). Sellers who sell commercial property in Marysville, WA also owe Washington's graduated real estate excise tax: 1.10% on the first $525,000, 1.28% up to $1,525,000, and 2.75% above that, plus Marysville's local 0.50% REET (City of Marysville tax page). On the same $2,000,000 sale, the combined state and local REET totals $41,637.50, about 2.08% of price.
Landlord Rules Owners Should Know
Washington landlords must return a tenant's security deposit, with a written itemized statement, within 30 days of move-out (RCW 59.18.280). Nonpayment of rent triggers a 14-day pay-or-vacate notice before an unlawful detainer filing (RCW 59.12.030), and residential rent increases statewide require at least 90 days' written notice (RCW 59.18.140). State law preempts Washington cities, including Marysville, from enacting local rent control on private rental housing (RCW 35.21.830).
What It Means for an Owner

Marysville Seller FAQ
What should I know before I sell commercial property in Marysville, WA?
Marysville has only 2,939 units in 5+ unit buildings, 11.0% of the housing stock, so pricing should reflect that scarcity. Budget for Washington's graduated real estate excise tax plus Marysville's 0.50% local rate, together totaling $41,637.50 on a $2,000,000 sale in 2026.
How do I sell commercial real estate in Marysville, WA if it is a multifamily building?
Confirm unit count against the 2024 ACS B25024 table, since 5+ unit buildings make up just 11.0% of Marysville's housing. Pair that with Snohomish County's 7.4860 per $1,000 levy rate and HUD's FY2027 two-bedroom fair market rent of $2,549 to support an asking price.
How much does Marysville property tax cost on a commercial sale?
Snohomish County's 2026 predominant levy for Marysville is $7.4860 per $1,000 of assessed value, producing $14,972 a year on a $2,000,000 property. A sale itself does not change that levy rate, though the county reassesses value periodically.
What notice does a Marysville landlord need to raise rent?
Washington law requires at least 90 days' written notice before a residential rent increase takes effect. Nonpayment of rent requires a 14-day pay-or-vacate notice before the landlord can file for unlawful detainer in Snohomish County District Court.
Is Marysville a good market to sell a multifamily property?
Renters fill 30.6% of Marysville's occupied homes, and more than half pay 30% or more of income toward rent, signaling steady demand. Investors who sell multifamily property in Marysville can point to that rent burden alongside the county's larger 20.7% share of 5+ unit housing.
Do I need to fix up my Marysville building before selling?
No. We price in deferred maintenance, vacancy, and below-market rents ourselves, so you can sell the property as it stands.
How does a sale to you work in Snohomish County?
Send the address, unit count, and any financials. We give feedback, then a written letter of intent if it fits, followed by diligence and a closing date that works for you.
Is it possible to sell rental property in Marysville without evicting tenants?
It is. We buy apartment buildings occupied, and tenants stay on their current leases. Skyline Capital Investments is a commercial real estate buyer of 5+ unit buildings, so occupied properties are the norm for us.
How fast can I sell my apartment building in Marysville?
Most owners get clear feedback within 48 hours of sending the address, unit count, and a rent roll. Closing is typically set around your timeline, including extra time for a 1031 exchange.
