Seattle & Eastside Market Reports

Home values fell year-over-year in all 18 cities we track

from just −1.4% in Newcastle to −5.6% in Kirkland and Sammamish — so even as the spring market heats up, prices are still drifting lower, not recovering.

The Eastside's priciest markets cooled this spring while the mid-market firmed

median sale prices slipped month-over-month in Bellevue (−3.2%), Kirkland (−4.1%) and Redmond (−6.1%), while Issaquah (+6.7%), Kenmore (+6.8%) and Bothell (+5.3%) all climbed.

Competition is hottest where homes are most affordable

Lake Forest Park (102.5% of list) and Edmonds (101.2%) led the region, while the Eastside's luxury core (Bellevue, Kirkland and Mercer Island) all averaged below asking.
