Selling in Seattle — the numbers
Updated
What a Seattle sale costs in Washington

What a quick cash sale and a listed sale each net at the Seattle median asking price
Same home, same October 2026 median asking price of $775,000, 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
- $775,000 sale price
- $436,000
- Estimated net · baseline
- Cash offer 5% below asking
- $735,000 offer
- $450,462
- Estimated net · +$14,462 vs listing
- Cash offer 15% below asking
- $660,000 offer
- $376,797
- Estimated net · −$59,203 vs listing
The $73,665 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 Seattle 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
Greenwood sellers do best when the neighborhood's walkable character leads the story.
Greenwood's appeal is its walkable, independent character — Greenwood Ave N's stretch of local shops, breweries, and restaurants gives the neighborhood a street-level energy that attracts buyers who want more than a suburban commuter address. Marketing that tells that story reaches the right audience.
Pricing in Greenwood requires street-level accuracy. Blocks closest to the commercial corridor price differently than quiet residential streets to the east. Generic neighborhood-wide comps miss this variation and can lead to underpricing or an overpriced listing that sits.
RexMont prepares a granular comparable analysis and positions Greenwood listings for the urban, walkability-oriented buyers who drive consistent demand at the neighborhood's price range.

FAQ
Questions buyers and sellers ask first.
Who buys homes in Greenwood Seattle?
Greenwood attracts urban buyers seeking walkable neighborhood character with independent shops and restaurants, young families drawn by community feel and value relative to adjacent Phinney Ridge, and buyers priced out of Ballard who want similar north Seattle amenity access.
How does Greenwood Avenue's commercial corridor affect home values?
Proximity to the Greenwood Ave N commercial strip is a plus for walkability-oriented buyers but can be a negative for buyers seeking quiet residential streets. Accurate comparable selection — street-by-street, not neighborhood-wide — is essential to avoid misprice in either direction.
What is Greenwood's strongest selling point?
Walkable neighborhood character, value relative to Ballard and Phinney Ridge, and genuine community identity. Marketing that leads with the neighborhood's independent business culture and street-level livability reaches the buyers most motivated to pay full value.
When is the best time to sell in Greenwood?
Spring (March–June) is historically strongest. Greenwood's appeal to urban renters making a first purchase also means year-round buyer activity from Seattle's tech and creative workforce.
Can RexMont help me sell my Greenwood home?
Yes. RexMont covers all Seattle neighborhoods including Greenwood and can provide a locally-researched comparable analysis that accounts for the corridor's walkability variation and value positioning relative to adjacent neighborhoods.
