If you own one house here
What this month means for a Sammamish landlord.
- Pricing a vacancy. Start from $4,145, this month's single-family median, then move for bedrooms, condition and parking: the bedroom table above is the band a Sammamish applicant will compare you against, and 10 houses are competing on the NWMLS today.
- The cap. A renewal on a $4,145 rent can rise at most $401 a month in 2026 (9.683%), with 90 days' written notice in Sammamish; a new tenancy is not capped, so a vacancy is the one moment the rent resets to market.
- Placement timing. At a median 22 days on market, a home listed 36 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 Sammamish 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 Sammamish 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 $4,145 rent that is at most $401 more a month. Sammamish follows the state floor: 90 days' written notice on the state form (RCW 59.18.140). A new tenancy is not capped, so the asking rent on a vacancy is set by the market figures in this report.

HUD sets Small Area Fair Market Rents by ZIP code for the Seattle-Bellevue metro. For FY2027 (effective October 1, 2026), Sammamish's 2 report ZIP codes run $3,410 to $3,820 for a 2-bedroom and $4,450 to $4,980 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.
