What it changes when selling or buying in Kirkland
In Kirkland, the market weighs more in dollars with fewer transactions: each sale counts for more, and there are fewer houses to compare when setting a price. For a seller, this is a market where low inventory sets the price, not the number of buyers; for a buyer, comparables are scarce and recent, so the asking price weighs more than the statistic. A record volume does not mean that "everything sells": it means that what sells, sells dear. The number of sales by property type, house, condo and plex, is in home sales in Kirkland.
How to read these figures
Sales volume is the figure brokers and banners follow, because compensation follows dollars, not doors. For an individual, it mostly serves to read the health of the market: a volume rising with sales is a market that widens; a volume rising on price alone is a market that concentrates. The average sale price comes from our average house price in Kirkland page, harvested the same day. Averages are sensitive to exceptional homes: to set a price, the median and the sector's comparables remain the reference.
