What a quick cash sale and a listed sale each net at the Woodinville median asking price
Same home, same October 2026 median asking price of $1,550,000, 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.

The $152,241 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.

FAQ
Woodinville seller questions
How much is excise tax (REET) when selling a home in Woodinville?
Washington's state REET is graduated: 1.1% on the first $525,000, 1.28% from there to $1,525,000, 2.75% up to $3,025,000, and 3% above that. King County local REET adds 0.5% of the full price. At Woodinville's median asking price of $1.55M (Stats updated October 2026), the combined state and local REET is $27,013. The breakpoints step up to $551,000, $1,551,000 and $3,051,000 for sales closing on or after January 1, 2027; the rates do not change.
Who pays real estate excise tax in Washington, and when?
The seller. Escrow calculates the tax on the full selling price and pays it to the county at closing, so it comes out of your proceeds rather than being billed later. A lower sale price lowers the tax; the rate applies tier by tier, not to the whole price at the top rate.
Is the listing commission negotiable in Woodinville?
Yes. Washington has no set commission rate; the listing fee is agreed in your listing agreement, and any compensation offered to a buyer's broker is negotiated separately. RexMont shows the full fee structure in writing before you sign, with the net-proceeds effect of each option.
What does it cost to sell a house in Woodinville?
Five lines decide the number: commission, Washington REET, title and escrow, pre-listing prep, and your mortgage payoff. The net-proceeds calculator on RexMont's Woodinville cost-to-sell page works them line by line from your price, starting with 5% total commission, $2,400 title and escrow and $15,000 prep, all adjustable.
Should I take a cash offer or list my Woodinville home?
Run both on the same numbers. At Woodinville's median asking price of $1.55M (Stats updated October 2026), a listed sale with 5% total commission, $15,000 of prep and a 35% mortgage payoff nets about $883,088. An instant cash offer 5% to 15% below that price, with no commission or prep but Washington REET, title and the same payoff still due, nets between $750,049 and $902,290. Which end of that range you are offered is the whole decision, and repair credits deducted after inspection move it further. Bring any written offer and RexMont compares it against a broker-tested listing price; the review costs nothing, and you see in dollars what speed buys before you sign.
When do Washington's REET thresholds change next?
On January 1, 2027. The state re-indexes the thresholds every four years under RCW 82.45.060; the rates stay at 1.1%, 1.28%, 2.75% and 3% while the dollar breakpoints move up. A closing date on either side of the change can shift the tax on a mid-tier sale, which is why the calculator asks for an expected closing date.
