If you own one house here
What this month means for a Redmond landlord.
- Pricing a vacancy. Start from $4,100, this month's single-family median, then move for bedrooms, condition and parking: the bedroom table above is the band a Redmond applicant will compare you against, and 19 houses are competing on the NWMLS today.
- The cap. A renewal on a $4,100 rent can rise at most $397 a month in 2026 (9.683%), with 120 days' written notice in Redmond; a new tenancy is not capped, so a vacancy is the one moment the rent resets to market.
- Placement timing. At a median 15 days on market, a home listed 29 days before the move-out date leases without a vacant month; the cost of a mispriced listing is the days it adds, not the dollars it asks.

How many homes are for rent in Redmond right now?

The NWMLS carries the brokerage-listed share of the market; apartment communities and owner-listed homes on rental portals are not in that count, which is why the licensed rent series above covers more listings.
How much can a Redmond landlord raise the rent in 2026?
9.683% on a covered tenancy for 2026 (RCW 59.18.700, published by the Washington State Department of Commerce), with no increase in the first 12 months of a tenancy. On a $4,100 rent that is at most $397 more a month. Redmond requires 120 days' written notice for an increase over 3% and 180 days for an increase over 10% (RMC 9.54.030); the state floor is 90 days. A new tenancy is not capped, so the asking rent on a vacancy is set by the market figures in this report.
What is the HUD Fair Market Rent for Redmond?
HUD sets Small Area Fair Market Rents by ZIP code for the Seattle-Bellevue metro. For FY2027 (effective October 1, 2026), Redmond's 2 report ZIP codes run $3,150 to $3,290 for a 2-bedroom and $4,110 to $4,290 for a 3-bedroom; the metro-wide FMR is $2,549 (2-bedroom) and $3,324 (3-bedroom). FMRs are 40th-percentile gross rents used for Housing Choice Vouchers, a floor-of-market anchor rather than a target for a single-family house.
