(Residential resale only — NWMLS data)
The under five hundred ninety-nine thousand range in Bothell looks like a starter market on paper… but when you pull the actual inventory, the picture is completely different.
Here’s what the stats show for December:
-
6 homes for sale
-
2 pending
-
3 sold in the last 30 days
-
28 median days on market
-
91.7 percent of original list price
-
5 showings to pending
That might sound like a balanced market — until you look at what these properties actually are.
There are no true single family homes for sale in Bothell under $599,000.
Zero. None.
Every listing in this range is either a townhouse or a condo that’s being counted under “residential resale,” which completely changes how these numbers should be interpreted.
For Buyers
If you’re hoping to find a detached home under six hundred thousand in Bothell, that window is gone.
What you will find in this range:
-
Townhomes
-
Condos
-
Older or smaller attached products
No single-family homes. The data isn’t hiding one, the inventory simply does not exist right now.
Because of that, days on market sitting around a month makes sense. Buyers looking in this price point are usually hoping to stretch into a house, and when the only options are attached homes, they hesitate or wait.
For Sellers
If you own anything close to this price point, especially a single family home, you are not competing against much, but that doesn’t automatically mean a fast sale.
With average days on market close to thirty and sellers receiving less than their original list price, strategy matters.
Before you list:
-
Look closely at your direct competition
-
Understand how your home fits into this price point
-
Decide whether you want to price aggressively or wait for your ideal buyer
This is exactly why I break the market down by price point instead of just giving you the median price for the whole city. When you zoom in, you can see clearly that the bottom tier of the detached market has basically disappeared.
