Bothell Market Report Residential Resale $1.150M and Up December 2025
December 2025 — Residential Resale Only
Once you cross into the $1.150M+ range, this is the first range where buyers actually have options. Inventory jumps fast up here, and it completely changes the pacing of the market.
What the numbers show
- 50 homes for sale
- 28 under contract
- 21 sold last month
- 37 median days on market
- 96.3% median percent of original price
- 14 showings to pending
On paper, this still leans toward a seller’s market advantage. Things are moving, buyers are showing up, and homes are selling. But it is definitely not the same intensity you see in the lower price ranges.
Why the pace slows down
Right now, the most expensive home on the market in Bothell is listed at $2.5 million, which tells you exactly what kind of product sits in this tier. You’ve got everything from remodeled luxury homes to dated million-dollar properties trying to compete with new construction, all in the same bucket.
And buyers notice.
They’re willing to tour, but they’re taking their time and they’re negotiating. That is why sellers in this tier are taking a 3 to 4 percent hit off the original list price on average. On a $1.2M to $2.5M home, that is a big discount.
If you’re a seller
This is not the range where you want to guess your price. With 50 active listings, buyers scroll through plenty of options before deciding who makes the cut.
If you’re planning to list:
- Look at the other listings around you
- Compare size, updates, layout, and lot
- Understand exactly where you fit in the stack
You do not want to be the one that sits and sits, because that is how you end up making price adjustments you did not want to make.
Homes that are clean, updated, well-presented, and priced correctly are still moving, but the buyer pool is smaller up here, and you need to meet them where they are.
If you’re a buyer
This is the range with the most inventory in Bothell, all the way up to $2.5M.
You have choices. You have leverage. And you have room to negotiate without competing with 10 other people at the same time.
The numbers say “seller market,” but the behavior in this tier is much closer to a balanced market with a seller edge.
Bottom line:
Higher price = slower pace, more competition, and more opportunity to negotiate.
