Updated

What a quick cash sale and a listed sale each net at the Redmond median asking price
Same home, same October 2026 median asking price of $1,100,000, 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
- $1,100,000 sale price
- $623,965
- Estimated net · baseline
- Cash offer 5% below asking
- $1,045,000 offer
- $639,944
- Estimated net · +$15,979 vs listing
- Cash offer 15% below asking
- $935,000 offer
- $531,902
- Estimated net · −$92,063 vs listing
The $108,042 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 Redmond 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
English Hill sells on schools, lots, and executive stock.
English Hill's 1980s–1990s executive homes trade on exactly three things: school assignment, lot quality, and condition. The buyer pool is dominated by families targeting the area's highly regarded Lake Washington School District schools — school-forward marketing is not optional here, it is the story.
The stock's age puts systems and updates at the center of diligence: roofs, furnaces, and original kitchens are what inspections and negotiations turn on. Documented updates defend price; original-condition homes sell well when priced honestly for the update math.
Buyers cross-shop English Hill against Redmond Ridge, Kingsgate, and north Kirkland — the space-for-the-money comparison. Launch timing against that competing inventory, and comps drawn from the hill itself, are what capture the neighborhood's premium.

FAQ
Questions buyers and sellers ask first.
What do buyers pay a premium for on English Hill?
School assignment first — the area's Lake Washington School District schools anchor demand — then lot quality and documented condition across the executive stock. Cul-de-sac and greenbelt positions carry consistent premiums.
How should I price an original-condition English Hill home?
Honestly against the update math: buyers will price the kitchen, baths, roof, and systems they expect to replace. Original homes sell well here when the price acknowledges the work — and stall when it pretends the work is cosmetic.
Who competes with English Hill for buyers?
Redmond Ridge, Kingsgate, and north Kirkland — the same families comparing space, schools, and commute. Launch timing against competing inventory in those areas is a real pricing lever.
What should I prepare before listing on English Hill?
Service records for roof, furnace, and water heater, documentation of updates, and honest condition notes. Family buyers here inspect thoroughly and negotiate from the inspection — pre-launch documentation moves that conversation to your side.
Can RexMont help me sell my English Hill home?
Yes. RexMont covers the full Redmond market including English Hill and prepares an on-hill comparable analysis, an update-math pricing model, and a school-forward launch plan for the family buyer pool.
