Who the bungalow is for in Kirkland
In Kirkland, the bungalow is a minority: 16% of sales over ten years. Newer neighbourhoods are built with two-storey homes, and single-storey homes sit mostly on older streets. Their scarcity explains their price resilience: for the same floor area, a bungalow needs a larger lot than a two-storey home.
How to read these numbers
One median per year and per type of house, from closed sales on Centris: single-storey on one side, two-storey on the other, for all of Kirkland. Years with few sales move more; read the trend. The bungalow share of sales says what the city has in stock, not what buyers prefer: only what exists gets sold. A broker evaluation settles it for one specific house.
