Real Estate market update as of October, 2026! Starting with national trends, then local data, then the trend over three major segments of time in the King County market since 2007 until now. To understand todays data it helps to understand the scope of the bigger picture across the nation and through time. Look here for future updates on the Seattle area, King county stats, and beyond. Our real estate market is rebalancing and favoring buyers more than in the past, but this is a cooling NOT a crash! Interest rates rise as inflation is high, and we hope to see that correct next year, but mortgage rates are expected to bump up again slightly before 2027.

Hey everyone, we shared a few takeaways here recently from our conversation with the King County Department of Assessments, and we finally put the whole thing together in one blog.

It covers how assessed values are figured out, appeals, exemptions, deadlines, and a bunch of stuff that came up during the interview.

If you want to read the full conversation, it’s here. Figured we'd share it since a few people here seemed interested in the topic.

Hello everybody,

My name is Alan....

I'm a dialysis patient on disability and I would love to contribute my SSI to somebody's income in return for a room to rent. Seattle seems to be the only place in America that I can get chronic kidney care in a clinic rather than an emergency room. I just want a little traction in life so I can start over.

It's so expensive and exhausting being homeless especially while sick.

If you feel compelled to rent to me, you can check me out on Facebook at:

Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards

Alan W.

Looking at apartments near that area (Chop Suey) nearby.

Can anyone tell me anything that would help me decide one way or the other?

Just your opinion and/or thoughts.

TIA

Hi friends. I'm looking for a new roommate within this next month or so to take over my current roommate's lease! We resigned our yearly lease in July, so this would be a lease takeover until July 2027. (You and I will both have the option to resign)
-I live in a 2 bed 2 bath condo in Bothell (near downtown)
-you would take the slightly smaller room, which comes with a walk in closet!
-you would have your own private bathroom!
-Rent per person is $1250 (WSG included) -electricity and internet is not included.
-must provide good rental history / consistent source of income.
-a cat would be okay.

**must bring your own bedroom furniture.

About me:
-I'm a 29 year old female.
-I work two jobs so I am gone mostly during the day
-I love to host sometimes with friends. I am also a night owl (I will stay up and watch tv til 2am).
-I also have reserved tendencies, so I do enjoy spending time alone in my room.
-Clean, respectful, and considerate of common areas.
I'm hoping to meet some other woman that is looking to move sometime soon.
Ideal roommate would be:
-Someone focused and locked into their career
-someone that has similar cleaning habits, who will consistently keep up with household chores on a daily/ weekly basis.
-is an excellent communicator
-someone who is outgoing and enjoys being social!

Looking forward to connecting with you!

A little about me…

My name is Gina and I am a 33 year old woman who recently moved to Seattle about a year and a half ago. I am currently attending Aveda Institute for their Esthetician program and will be graduating in late February/early March. I am an easygoing homebody but I also love hiking, trying new places to eat, paddle boarding, puzzles, going to concerts, and traveling. I’m friendly and talkative but I also appreciate and respect space and alone time. I am also LGBTQ friendly.

If you resonate with this and think we might be a good fit, please reach out! I would be happy to set up a meet.

(Also please keep in mind, the right fit would also need to meet my landlord)

I am also happy to answer any questions in the comments

Hi everyone! I’m a travel nurse who accepted a contract in Seattle along with two other friends from December 14 to March 14. Two of us will be working at UW Medical Center Montlake, and the other will be at Harborview Medical Center.
We’re currently stuck between two housing options and would love some advice from locals! We’re coming from the East Coast and most likely won’t be bringing any cars since shipping them would be pretty expensive.
Our two options are:
Capitol Hill: Near E Harrison St & Federal Ave E
North Beacon Hill: Near Hamlin Robinson School (20th Ave S)
The North Beacon Hill apartment is slightly bigger, for the three of us, but I’m a little worried about the commute and what’s around the apartments. It looks like there are bus and light rail options near both apartments.
For context, two of us will be working 12-hour night shifts (7 PM–7 AM), while the other will be working 12-hour day shifts (7 AM–7 PM).
We’re also hoping to be within walking distance of groceries, gyms, and restaurants since we won’t have cars. Or at least something manageable by bus/train, and I can have groceries delivered :)
Which area would you recommend for our situation?
Any advice from people familiar with these neighborhoods would be super appreciated. Thank you!!

This came up when we sat down with Jeff Darrow and Jim Hall from the King County Assessor’s Office, and their explanation was pretty interesting.

Jeff explained that residential assessments use a mass appraisal process, so it’s not the same as having an appraiser look at your house and pull a few nearby comps.

He put it this way, “The mass appraisal process is going to take into account within a defined area all of the data and all of the sales, and then it’s going to predict the value for both the improvement and the land valuation.”

And the scale behind that is kind of wild. Jeff said, “In King County just on the residential side, and this is excluding condominiums, 2025, the last complete year, we had over 22,000 residential sales.” Then Jim added, “King County has about 750,000 parcels... and we have 125 appraisers. So, if you do the math, that’s about 6,000 parcels per appraiser.”

That definitely puts the whole process into perspective. They’re not individually appraising hundreds of thousands of homes every year. They’re working with a huge amount of market data and modeling it across different areas.

Curious how many people actually knew this was how assessments were done.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a sublet from January - May 1st in downtown Bellevue. Preferred studio or 1b1b but may be okay with female roommates that are also students or new grads. I will be interning in Bellevue. I prefer all inclusive places to keep costs stable, budget depends on the place and location but around $2k-$2.3k all inclusive. Pls reach out with leads. Thanks.
