The Redmond Housing Market Right Now
The median sale price is roughly $1,262,500 - though prices have dipped about 2.7% year-over-year, which is a small but real shift. Homes are closing at approximately 97.9% of list price on average. They're moving fast, but sellers aren't universally getting everything they ask for.
That 2.7% dip is worth paying attention to. Prices are still high, but the direction has changed slightly, and that creates a window that wasn't there a year ago. You'll still have competition - about 13% of homes are selling above list price - but you're not walking into a market where every offer needs to be a war.
What you do need: a solid pre-approval and a clear ceiling on what you'll spend. Twenty-four days sounds like breathing room until you find a house you actually want.

Property Types and Price Ranges
Single-Family Homes and New Builds
Detached single-family homes dominate the higher end of the inventory. Larger lots, mature trees, proximity to parks and trails - that's what you're paying for. New construction is out there too, but it carries a price premium, and you'll want to build timeline flexibility into your plans if you go that route.
Condos and Townhomes
Condos and townhomes are the more accessible entry point for first-time buyers in Redmond. They tend to sit closer to retail and transit, which matters depending on how you live. The catch - and it's not a small one - is the HOA. Monthly dues cover exterior maintenance and shared amenities, but they factor directly into your debt-to-income ratio during underwriting. Know that number before you fall in love with a unit.

Where to Buy in Redmond
If you're willing to drive a bit further, the edges of town offer a quieter residential feel while still keeping you connected to Redmond's core. The tradeoff is real, though. Test your commute during actual rush hours before you commit to a specific area.
Properties closer to the city center trend toward higher density and smaller lots. Further out means more space and more time in the car. Only you know which of those bothers you more.
Location and Commuting
Cost of Living and Lifestyle
The climate is temperate - wet winters, dry summers - and that pattern has real maintenance implications. Roofs and landscaping aren't optional line items here; they're recurring ones.
Finding a Local Real Estate Agent
The Washington State Buying Process
With a 24-day average days-on-market, you can't sit on a decision for a week. Pull recent comparable sales before you write the offer so you're grounded in what the market is actually doing. The 97.9% sale-to-list ratio tells you that full-blown bidding wars aren't happening on every listing - there's often room for a reasonable negotiation, even now.
That said, the roughly 13% of homes selling above list price are a reminder that this isn't a buyer's market either. Read each property individually.
Don't waive your inspection. A proper inspection surfaces issues with the roof, foundation, or major mechanical systems - things that can cost thousands to fix and that you have every right to know about before you close.
Closing costs in Washington typically include title insurance, escrow fees, and loan origination charges. Sit down with your lender before closing day and go through the final cash-to-close number line by line. No surprises on signing day.
