What ten years of sales say in Kirkland
- Sales at one million and up: 6 in 2016, 64 in 2021, 74 in 2025, 63 from January to September 2026; the peak is 2025 (74); 462 sales at that level in ten years in Kirkland. As a share of sales: 2% in 2016, 24% in 2021, 38% in 2026.
- What you pay above the million: the segment median is $1,210,000 in 2026 against $1,062,500 in 2016 (+14%), or $255,000 above the city's median house ($955,000). A median close to one million says the segment is made of houses that just crossed the bar; a median at 1.3 or 1.5 million says there is a real high-end market.
- The median house in Kirkland went from $477,000 to $955,000 (+100%): the million is less than 20% above the median, the segment grows with every increase.
- Across the 34 cities tracked, sales at one million and up went from 456 in 2016 (1.7% of sales) to 1,855 in 2021 (6.3%) and 2,750 in 2025 (9.9%), 6.0 times more in nine years; 10 cities had none in 2016; in 2026, the million is the majority of sales in 2 cities and at least a quarter in 10.
What it changes for buying or selling in Kirkland
In Kirkland, the million is no longer a ceiling, it is a step: 38% of 2026 sales exceed it, 63 transactions in nine months. Here, the million-dollar house is an ordinary family house, and the luxury market starts higher, around the segment median ($1,210,000). For a seller, listing above the million is not a risk in Kirkland, it is the norm, and the time to sell depends on condition and lot more than on price; for a buyer, the million gives access to the middle of the market, not the top, and the 20% down payment ($200,000 and up) closes the door to insured loans. The price of all houses in Kirkland is in home prices in Kirkland; the down payment needed, in down payment to buy in Kirkland.
How to read these figures
One number of sales and one share per year for all of Kirkland. The one-million threshold is not indexed: a $1,000,000 house in 2026 is worth, in purchasing power, what a $760,000 house was worth in 2016, and the multiplication of sales above the million is largely the effect of the general rise in prices, not an influx of luxury houses. The million remains the bar beyond which there is no insured loan and the 20% down payment is mandatory.
