Selling Your Home in Navigator, Anacortes

I am DiAnn Sager, a Real Estate Broker with RE/MAX Gateway here in Anacortes. I have closed 125 homes and more than $72 million in sales since I was licensed in January 2018, and I grew up on Fidalgo Island. Most of my business happens within a few miles of this hill.

Now the part you should hear from me rather than find out later. I have not closed a sale on Navigator Lane itself, and I will not pretend otherwise on my own website. What I do have is the rest of this hillside and the west side of the island: Clearridge on the same slope, Mariners Place next door, the Westside grid above Guemes Channel, and Skyline out at the end of the road. Those are the sales an appraiser will reach for when your Navigator home goes under contract, and they are the sales I track.

What comes with the listing is a campaign I pay for before your home goes live, built around what this address actually offers: aerial and drone work that shows the hill, the harbor, and the channel in one frame, a walkthrough video, a single-property page, full MLS syndication, and paid advertising aimed at people who are shopping the ferry side of Anacortes rather than the town in general. One of my sellers, Sharon Moore, wrote that I "truly cares about and protects her clients throughout the process." Protecting your equity is the whole job. The free EPIC™ Home-Selling Report is where that starts, and it costs you nothing to see it.

The honest picture of this neighborhood matters more than a flattering one, because your buyer is going to stand in the street and form their own opinion inside a minute. Navigator sits above Ship Harbor with the ferry terminal below, so it is a wonderful place to live when you want a Saturday on Orcas and a busy one on a summer weekend when everyone else wants the same thing. It is not a marina neighborhood the way Skyline is. You drive to dinner rather than walk to it, which is the trade the Old Town seller is making in the opposite direction.

What is genuinely close, by name: the Guemes Channel Trail along the water below the hill, the Ship Harbor Interpretive Preserve with its wetland and sandy beach between the terminal and the homes, Clearidge Park with tennis and pickleball in the 1900 block of Blakely, and Washington Park at the end of Sunset Avenue. The Anacortes School District serves the whole city and sets its own attendance areas, so I get you the district's current answer for your address instead of guessing at it.

The county record fills in the rest, and it works in your favor. Skagit County Assessor data shows 16 parcels on Navigator Lane, built between 2015 and 2023, on lots running 0.20 to 0.72 acre. This is recent construction, built out almost entirely in the past decade, and that is worth stating plainly in your marketing rather than leaving a buyer to guess at it from the roofline. Everything here is inside the city limits on city sewer, power, and piped water, so there is no well or septic conversation for a buyer to worry through. Whether an association applies to your lot, and what its dues are, is a per-home record, so I confirm it in writing for your address before it goes in the listing. The county's view notes are lot by lot as well, which is why the listing describes the view from your rooms rather than the hill in general. You will also see this pocket marketed online under the name Channel Landing, which means both names belong in your ad targeting.

For a market reference point, the Anacortes median home went pending in 11 days in June 2026 while the average sat at 48 (NWMLS InfoSparks). That gap is not luck. It is the difference between a home priced for this market and a home priced for the last one. The whole neighborhood, street by street, is on the Navigator page, and the way I handle every listing is on the selling your home page. See what is on the market now on my listings page, then tell me about your Navigator home and we will start with the numbers.
