Selling in Bothell — the numbers
Updated

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
- $525,491
- Estimated net · baseline
- Cash offer 5% below asking
- $885,000 offer

- 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.

Market context
North Creek sells on commute math and newer stock.
North Creek's buyer pool is anchored by the biotech and tech employment corridor and UW Bothell — buyers doing commute math first and house math second. Marketing leads with access, and pricing respects the corridor's own comps: newer townhomes and 1990s plats trade in different bands.
The newer stock shifts diligence from big-system risk to condition, updates, and — on townhomes — HOA health. Having the association package and your update records organized before launch removes the most common friction in corridor sales.
North Creek buyers cross-shop Canyon Park, Mill Creek, and north Kirkland the same week — launch timing against that competing inventory is a real pricing lever RexMont works explicitly.

FAQ
Questions buyers and sellers ask first.
Who buys homes in North Creek?
Tech and biotech commuters anchored by the corridor's employment base and UW Bothell, plus families targeting newer stock at prices below Kirkland and Redmond. Most arrive pre-approved and doing commute math first.
How should a North Creek townhome be priced?
Against the corridor's own townhome comps with HOA health in view — dues, reserves, and resale documentation move value between otherwise similar units. RexMont comps by community, not by citywide averages.
What should I prepare before selling in North Creek?
Update records and, on townhomes, the HOA package — buyers and lenders read both. On the 1990s plats: roof, furnace, and water-heater service records keep inspections on schedule.
When is the best time to sell in North Creek?
When competing corridor inventory is thin — the same buyers watch Canyon Park, Mill Creek, and north Kirkland, so the practical signal is cross-market supply, not the calendar.
Can RexMont help me sell my North Creek home?
Yes. RexMont covers all of Bothell including North Creek and prepares a corridor-specific comparable analysis with a launch plan matched to the commuter and family pools that drive demand here.
