Buyer's or seller's · Kirkland · Centris 2026
How many homes are for sale in Kirkland, how many arrive, how many leave, and what that means in months of inventory. Twelve months of Centris figures, not an impression.
In Kirkland, the market is balanced: 4.4 months of inventory (12-month median), between the 4- and 6-month thresholds. In Aug. 2026, the last complete month, 76 single-family homes were for sale against 20 sales in the month, or 3.8 months of inventory: on that month alone, it tips into a seller's market. A house sells there in 31 days (12-month median), at 96% of asking price. Source: Centris (Matrix), compiled September 17, 2026.

For a seller in Kirkland

For a buyer in Kirkland
For a buyer, balance gives time to inspect and finance, but not to bargain hard: the 96% median ratio says discounts are thin. How much buyers negotiate in Kirkland pins it down.
How to read these numbers
Three numbers are enough: how many homes are for sale (active listings), how many arrive (new listings), how many leave (sales). The first divided by the third gives the months of inventory. Under 4 months, the seller picks the buyer; above 6, the buyer picks; in between, the asking price decides. The QPAREB uses higher thresholds (8 to 10 months of balance) for whole regions; a city reads with lower ones. September 2026, the month in progress, is shown but excluded from the medians.
