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.

- $930,000 sale price

- Estimated net · baseline

- 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
Westhill sells the Kirkland-adjacent position at Bothell prices.
Westhill's core story is position: the western edge of Bothell, minutes from Kirkland's amenities and commute routes, at a meaningful discount to Kirkland prices. Buyers priced out of Finn Hill and Juanita land here deliberately — the marketing should meet them mid-comparison.
The established stock rewards the standard preparation: systems documentation, selective refresh, and honest condition pricing. Updated Westhill homes compete directly with entry Kirkland; original ones win on honest value pricing.
Launch timing matters doubly on an edge neighborhood — the same buyers watch both cities' inventory. RexMont times Westhill launches against competing supply in west Bothell and entry Kirkland alike.
