Updated
What a Sammamish sale costs in Washington

What a quick cash sale and a listed sale each net at the Sammamish median asking price
Same home, same October 2026 median asking price of $1,550,000, same mortgage payoff. The cash columns run the instant-offer range RexMont models, 5% and 15% below that asking price, as-is, with no commission and no prep; Washington REET, title and the payoff are still due.
- List on the open market
- $1,550,000 sale price
- $883,088
- Estimated net · baseline
- Cash offer 5% below asking
- $1,475,000 offer
- $902,290
- Estimated net · +$19,203 vs listing
- Cash offer 15% below asking
- $1,320,000 offer
- $750,049
- Estimated net · −$133,038 vs listing
The $152,241 between the two cash columns is what a written offer settles; a program fee or a repair credit deducted after inspection moves it further. Bring any offer you already hold: the review costs nothing and you keep every option, including taking the cash.
Compare a written cash offer against a broker-tested listing priceA modelling range RexMont uses until a written offer exists, not a quote from any buyer; program fees are not modelled. For context, Research summaries have placed the total cost of instant-offer programs to sellers at roughly 13–15% of the home’s value.
Washington REET tiers for a Sammamish sale
| Portion of sale price | State REET |
|---|---|
| Up to $525,000 | 1.10% |
| $525,001 to $1,525,000 | 1.28% |
| $1,525,001 to $3,025,000 | 2.75% |
| Above $3,025,000 | 3.00% |
| King County local REET — on the full price | 0.50% |
Each rate applies only to the slice of the price inside its tier; the seller pays at closing. Breakpoints move to $551,000, $1,551,000 and $3,051,000 for closings on or after January 1, 2027; rates unchanged.

Market context
Sammamish sellers often need to sell without losing the next home.
Many Sammamish sellers are families upsizing, downsizing, or moving within the same school and community network. The biggest fear is selling successfully, then being unable to win the next home in a competitive Plateau market.
School boundary lines around Eastlake High School and Skyline High School can be one of the strongest drivers of value. Two similar homes can perform differently depending on address, school path, neighborhood age, and buyer perception.
RexMont builds the sale around timing and leverage, not just list price. For 98074 and 98075 homes in the $900K-$2M+ range, we plan the listing, search, possession, rent-back, and negotiation strategy before the first buyer walks in.

FAQ
Questions buyers and sellers ask first.
How can I sell and buy at the same time in Sammamish?
RexMont helps sellers compare bridge options, contingent offers, rent-backs, early search strategy, listing timing, and programs that reduce the risk of selling before securing the next home.
