Seattle & Eastside Market Report
November 2025 · 18cities · Single-family homes only
Key Takeaways
The market shifted into seasonal low gear in November
Seattle SFH sales dropped from 491 to 316 month-over-month (-36%) and DOM extended from 10 to 15 days, yet inventory tightened from 659 to 496 listings, keeping serious buyers competitive.
Bellevue ZHVI ticked up to $1,709,681 in November
the second consecutive monthly gain after bottoming in September — signaling that Eastside luxury values are quietly stabilizing heading into winter.
Kirkland DOM jumped from 16 to 31 days month-over-month, the sharpest pace slowdown among reliable-volume cities, yet its ZHVI also edged up to $1,422,246
price holding even as transactions slow.
Renton remains the most affordable reliable-volume market at $790K median (Redfin, 40 sales), with ZHVI at $789,410 up for the second straight month
the demand floor appears to be firming after a year of declines.
Mortgage rates nudged up to 6.23% in November from October's 6.17% low
still within the year's low range, but at 6.23% a $750K loan costs roughly $4,613/month, keeping affordability front-of-mind for buyers stretching into Eastside price ranges.
Mortgage Rates
Freddie Mac PMMSRates are 0.46 points lower than a year ago. They peaked at 7.04% in January and bottomed at 6.17% in October. Buyers have modestly more purchasing power than last year.
