Seattle

Seattle

Perennially one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, Seattle attracts new residents from around the country and the world. The city’s housing mix reflects its diverse population: high-rise condos, modest bungalows, hilltop colonials and luxury waterfront estates. A rock solid local economy and an extremely limited housing supply ensure that Seattle home values will appreciate well…and well into the future.

Eastside

Bellevue

With its outstanding schools, thriving downtowns and easy access to lake and mountain recreation, the Eastside is a hugely sought after place to live. From Bellevue to Kirkland to Redmond to Issaquah, the Eastside has a range of housing that includes urban condos, mid-century ramblers, master-planned communities and waterfront estates. With larger homes and more residential new construction, property values on the Eastside routinely outpace those in Seattle.

Mercer Island

Mercer Island

Year after year Mercer Island property values rank first or second in Washington state. This is because of the community’s outstanding schools, proximity to Seattle, and close-knit vibe. With miles of trails and myriad waterfront recreation opportunities, Mercer Island is a runner’s, biker’s and boater’s paradise. With much-larger-than average homes, many of which have views or sit along Lake Washington shoreline, Mercer Island properties retain their popularity and value.
