The 98542 ZIP code in Ethel, Washington, is a small rural real estate market with approximately 1,100 properties, including homes, manufactured residences, vacant acreage, agricultural parcels, and a limited number of business-use sites. Single-family homes represent the primary housing type at roughly 70% of local residential properties, while manufactured homes and rural residences on larger lots account for much of the remaining housing stock; condominiums and co-ops are effectively absent, at about 0% to 1%, and commercial properties comprise an estimated 2% to 4% of parcels. Typical home values vary significantly by acreage, condition, outbuildings, and proximity to major routes, but the median home sale price is approximately $400,000 to $450,000, with average asking or sale values commonly near $250 to $300 per square foot for conventional detached homes. Over the past 10 years, the ZIP code has generally recorded about 20 to 30 residential sales per year, although annual transaction totals can fluctuate because the market is small and individual acreage or estate sales can materially affect local averages. Vacant land and recreational acreage remain important segments of the Ethel market, particularly parcels suitable for rural living, hobby farming, timber, or equestrian use, while limited inventory and the area’s rural character tend to make pricing less uniform than in larger nearby communities.
