What a quick cash sale and a listed sale each net at the Bothell median asking price
Same home, same October 2026 median asking price of $930,000, 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
- $930,000 sale price

- Cash offer 15% below asking
- $790,000 offer
- $449,483
- Estimated net · −$76,008 vs listing
The $93,309 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 Bothell 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. Bothell's Snohomish County side carries the same 0.50%. Breakpoints move to $551,000, $1,551,000 and $3,051,000 for closings on or after January 1, 2027; rates unchanged.

Copyright concernsHow we prepare and position your Bothell house for sale
At RexMont, we position a Bothell house against the homes its likely buyers are considering, rather than relying on a broad city label. For Canyon Park and North Creek properties, we review condition, layout, and competing inventory before recommending a launch price. We consider buyers priced out of Kirkland and Redmond without assuming their budgets support your asking price. Our Bothell housing market overview and property-specific home value review help organize that pricing discussion.
We confirm whether your Bothell property is in King or Snohomish County because the county line affects assessor records and prorations. We verify district information separately, since Northshore and Everett school districts both serve parts of Bothell. Our Bothell selling cost guide helps organize closing expenses, while our Bothell real estate commission guide supports a conversation about representation and service scope. We review these details before turning an asking price into an expected proceeds estimate.
For a Hollywood Hill property, we coordinate preparation, disclosures, photography, and showing arrangements around the house and your moving needs. Our Bothell listing agent selection guide helps frame questions about who will manage those responsibilities and negotiate the sale. A Bothell cash offer can fit when avoiding repairs or limiting showings matters more than testing demand through an open-market listing. We compare the proposed terms and expected net proceeds before choosing how to bring your house to market.

Using the 2023–2026 schedule: 1.10% to $525K, 1.28% to $1.525M, 2.75% to $3.025M, 3.00% above, plus 0.50% King County.

FAQ
Bothell seller questions
What does Bothell's county line change in my sale paperwork?
We confirm whether your property is in King or Snohomish County and use the corresponding assessor information when preparing the sale. We also ask the closing team to verify prorations for your property. We do not treat a Bothell mailing address as enough to establish the correct county records.
How should school district information appear in my Bothell listing?
We verify the property's district information before including it in marketing because Northshore and Everett school districts both serve parts of Bothell. We avoid assigning a district from the city name alone. We keep the listing language tied to verified information rather than using district references as a pricing promise.
Should buyers priced out of Kirkland and Redmond determine my Bothell asking price?
We consider those buyers when shaping the positioning, but we do not assume their previous search defines what they will pay for your house. We compare your property with the Bothell listings they can actually choose. Condition, layout, and competing options guide our recommendation rather than a presumed price advantage.
What should be settled before launching a Canyon Park listing?
We align the preparation plan, disclosures, photography, and showing arrangements before choosing a launch window. For a Canyon Park sale, we also review the competing homes and your next move before confirming the listing position. We want the marketing promise and the property's actual presentation to match when buyers begin considering it.
