What a quick cash sale and a listed sale each net at the Bellevue median asking price
Same home, same October 2026 median asking price of $1,950,000, 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.

- Cash offer 15% below asking
- $1,660,000 offer
- $942,013
- Estimated net · −$168,075 vs listing
The $188,663 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.

For context, Research summaries have placed the total cost of instant-offer programs to sellers at roughly 13–15% of the home’s value.
