Bothell, Washington Housing Market Report
November 2026

Bothell had 99 new pending sales and 98 closings in October, with 544 homes for sale in the monthly figures. Buyers are still making decisions, but there is plenty of competition for their attention. The sold homes received 96.1% of original asking at the median. If you’re thinking about selling, I would compare the choices your buyer has rather than treat the $850,500 citywide median as a price tag for your home. The whole-city figures include all property types; I break out four housing groups here.

Previously owned single-family homes had 214 homes for sale, the most inventory among the four housing groups I cover. Forty homes went pending and 41 closed. Successful sales took 22 days at the median and received 96.5% of original asking, about 3.5% below where sellers started. The showing figure was 10 recorded visits before pending. If you’re thinking about listing, I would want to know what buyers at your price are choosing instead of the homes still waiting.

Nine new homes closed, with a 51-day median market time and 90.3% of original asking received. That is 9.7% below starting price at the median, before considering any other terms. But new construction follows a different timeline: buyers can sign before a home is built or while construction is underway, and closing comes later. There were 78 homes for sale and 12 new pendings. I would compare completion dates, included features and written financing terms rather than use one month’s closings to judge builder demand. The price ratio alone does not tell us about incentives.

Condos had 16 closings and 15 new pendings, with 106 homes for sale. The homes that closed moved in 16 days at the median and received 97.9% of original asking. That is a fairly quick result for the successful sales, alongside plenty of choices still available. If condo living fits you, I would compare dues, insurance, reserves, special assessments and lender approval with the other homes you could buy. If you’re thinking about selling, those ownership costs are part of the competition too.

Townhomes had 16 new pendings and eight closings, with 78 homes for sale. That is worth noticing: new contracts outnumbered completed sales this month. I would not read it as a promise about next month’s closings, but buyers were moving forward. The October sales had a 34-day median market time and received 93% of original asking. If you’re thinking about selling, I would look at the alternatives a buyer could choose for a similar payment. For buyers who want a townhome, the selection deserves a closer look.

Only one previously owned home closed $699,999 and under, at $630,000. It took 50 days and received 96.9% of original asking. There were five homes for sale and four new pendings. That combination is interesting, but one sale cannot establish the value or typical market time of the whole range. If you’re shopping here, I would compare condition, size and needed work carefully. If you’re thinking about selling, limited inventory does not automatically mean any starting price will work.

Nine homes closed and nine went pending here, with 38 homes for sale. Successful sales took 17 days at the median and received 97.2% of original asking. Buyers were choosing homes, with negotiating still part of the completed-sale results. If you’re planning to list, I would compare the entire set of choices buyers can get at a similar payment, including townhomes. For buyers, I would be ready when a home stands out without assuming every seller will accept the same terms.

This was the busiest resale band, with 13 new pendings and 12 closings. It also had the most resale inventory, with 54 homes for sale. The sold homes took 29 days at the median and received 93.7% of original asking, or 6.3% below starting price. I think that is the heart of Bothell’s story: an active buyer pool does not remove the competition between sellers. If you’re thinking about listing here, your starting price and the alternatives buyers have deserve a careful look.

Nine homes closed, with a 15-day median market time and 97.3% of original asking received. But just four new homes went pending, while 37 were for sale. That is why I would look at contracts as well as closings. The successful sales moved fairly quickly, but the new flow of decisions was smaller. If you’re thinking about selling, I would study what made those particular homes work rather than assume the same pace for yours.

Four homes closed, with a 49-day median market time and 92.6% of original asking received. Six went pending and 38 were for sale. The new contracts show buyers were making decisions, while the completed sales show a longer wait and a 7.4% gap from starting price at the median. With only four closings, I would look closely at the individual homes before applying that result to another property. Buyers have choices; a seller preparing to list needs a clear reason to stand out.

Six homes closed at $1,450,000 and up, with a 12-day median market time and 95.9% of original asking received. Four went pending, while 42 were for sale. Some selected homes moved quickly, but there is still a large set of competing choices. If you’re thinking about selling, I would focus on who the property fits and what makes it worth choosing at that price. The $1,528,750 median sold price describes six homes, not every property in this open-ended range.
