What it changes when selling or buying in Kirkland
At 242 house sales a year, Kirkland is a thin market: about 4.7 a week, and some months almost nothing. Every sale counts in the comparables, a single unusual transaction can skew an appraisal, and a seller may wait for the buyer looking for precisely their type of house. The right price comes from listings compared one by one, not from an average. Since 2016, the number of sales has fallen 8% while prices rose: fewer houses change hands, because owners with a low rate stay put.
How to read these figures
One count per year and per category, for all of Kirkland: houses on one side, condos and plexes on the other. The counter is the number of accepted offers that led to a sale, as entered on Centris by brokers. It says nothing about sales without a broker, nor about homes withdrawn from the market unsold, which we track in houses that do not sell in Kirkland. Small cities move by a few dozen sales from one year to the next: read the plateaus, not a single year.
