Kirkland, WA

Property For sale & Area Information.

Welcome to Kirkland

Kirkland’s real estate market remains highly competitive, driven by its scenic waterfront, proximity to tech giants, and vibrant downtown scene. Despite higher mortgage rates, demand continues to surge, particularly for single-family homes and luxury condos, keeping inventory tight and prices climbing.

  • Condominiums: Median price at $750,000, a 6% increase YoY.

Inventory & Market Speed

  • Supply Crisis: Only 1.2 months of inventory (6 months is balanced).

  • Days on Market (DOM):

    • Single-family homes: 7–12 days (often multiple offers).

    • Condos: 15–25 days.

    • Luxury homes: 50+ days (more negotiation flexibility).

  • Price Reductions: Just 12% of listings, mostly in the luxury segment.

Key Market Dynamics

  • New Construction:

    • Kirkland Urban expansion (mixed-use luxury condos).

    • Google’s Kirkland campus growth fueling buyer demand.

  • Waterfront Premium: Homes near Lake Washington command 20–30% higher prices than inland properties.

Interest Rates & Affordability

  • Mortgage Rates: ~6.75% (30-year fixed).

  • Affordability Challenge: A 1.4Mhome∗∗requires∗∗ 9,200/month (PITI), pushing first-time buyers toward condos/townhomes.

Top Market Drivers

  1. Tech Expansion: Google, Meta, and Amazon employees flock to Kirkland.

  2. Top Schools: Lake Washington School District ranks among WA’s best.

  3. Walkability: Downtown Kirkland’s shops, parks, and eateries attract young professionals.

Future Outlook (2024–2025)

  • Inventory: Slight relief with 400+ new condo units (e.g., Kirkland Urban Phase 2).

  • Luxury Market: Stable but DOM may increase as buyers weigh higher rates.

Conclusion

Kirkland’s market remains one of the most sought-after in the Seattle metro, thanks to its unbeatable lakeside lifestyle, strong job market, and limited land supply. While high prices and rates create challenges, demand shows no signs of slowing, especially in prime neighborhoods (Houghton, Yarrow Point).

Buyers: Prepare for fast-moving deals & aggressive offers.
Sellers: Ideal time to list—low supply = maximum leverage.

Rarely does a home of this caliber come to market. Sited on a 17,920 Sq. Ft. lot and a stone's throw from LK Washington and Kiwanis Park-this significant California Craftsman was designed for gathering and entertainment. The two-story great room has exposed timber trusses rising overhead. Warm earth-tone palettes mimic the interiors in the Craftsman tradition, while art glass specified lighting brings warmth and color to every room. Woodwork of this intricacy is stunning and is the home's signature-from the commanding staircase to rows of custom built-ins to hallways that stop guests in their tracks. Scale and craftsmanship are seldom found, and rarer still in today's builds. The kitchen responds to serious chefs: a 48" Fulgor Milano induction range, a Tulikivi wood-fired pizza oven; Miele, Viking, and Thermador appliances throughout. A sunlit breakfast nook overlooks south lawn+gardens. Two main-floor offices. A bonus room on both the main and upper level gives everyone somewhere to land. The primary suite encompasses the entire south wing. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-n-Jill bath. Fourth bedroom ensuite has its own sitting area and a dedicated home gym completes this level. A 2100+Wine Celler commands lower level. Outdoor kitchen and patio is highlighted by meticulously designed gardens, greenery and level yard. Walk to DT Kirkland, Shopping and Restaurants.
