Central Area homes for sale and what sold, last 12 months
Central Area is one of the communities the Northwest Multiple Listing Service maps in Seattle (ZIP 98122 and 98144), and every figure on this page covers the homes NWMLS files under it. In the twelve months to October 2026, 137 homes closed at a median price of $780,000, $559 per square foot. Eight sales in ten landed between $515,000 and $1,225,000. The median home spent 23 days on market (cumulative, across relists) and sold for 100% of its final list price, at its final asking price.
Those sales were 64 single-family houses (median $923,600), 53 townhomes ($750,000) and 20 condos ($491,500). The median home sold had 3 bedrooms and 1,400 square feet and was built in 2003. 109 sales came in under $1 million.
Right now 41 homes are for sale in Central Area, asking $299,000 to $1,870,000, and 8 more are pending. The map below holds every one, read from NWMLS and refreshed every 30 minutes. The alert on this page watches Central Area for new listings, and the value form beside it prices a home you own here against these same sales, prepared by a broker rather than an automated estimate.
About Central Area
The Central Area sits directly east of downtown — historically the heart of Seattle's African-American community and now one of the city's fastest-changing neighborhoods. The mix of historic homes, new townhomes, and small-scale infill development is constant.
Buyers are drawn by the central location, walkability to Capitol Hill and downtown, and continued value compared to neighbors. Housing ranges from restored Victorian and Craftsman homes on quiet residential streets to modern townhomes and condos along the arterials.

The same rule picks the live listings and the closed sales, so the count, the map and the medians describe the same homes. City and neighborhood-association maps can draw the line slightly differently.
