Selling in Seattle — the numbers
Updated

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
South Park sellers benefit from clear value and trajectory positioning.
South Park's market story is value and trajectory: entry-level Seattle pricing flanked by Georgetown's arts corridor to the north and West Seattle's commercial amenities to the west. Buyers who discover South Park often arrive from those adjacent searches, and positioning against that comparison context reaches the most motivated audience.
Green River trail access and proximity to industrial employment corridors support buyer pools that aren't searching the typical Seattle lifestyle categories. Reaching those buyers requires targeted marketing beyond standard MLS distribution.
RexMont prepares a locally-researched comparable analysis and positions South Park listings for the specific buyer pools — first-time buyers, investors, and proximity-to-work buyers — who drive demand in this neighborhood.
