Closed sales on Centris from 2016 to September 2026: 362 bungalows, 1,875 two-storey houses, 316 split-level houses. A year with fewer than 10 sales in a type is left blank (n/a), and a type missing from the table does not have enough sales in Kirkland to be published. When a year has few sales, its median swings a lot: read the trend, not a single year.
What ten years of sales say in Kirkland
- From most to least expensive in Kirkland: two-storey house ($1,008,000), split-level house ($880,000), bungalow (single-storey) ($762,500). The two-storey house leads in 35 of 42 cities; the bungalow (single-storey) comes last in 26.
- The type that rose the most in Kirkland: the split-level house, +116% since 2016, against two-storey +89%, bungalow +96%. The split-level leads in 4 of 42 cities, the storey-and-a-half in 7, the bungalow in 18 and the two-storey house in 13.
- The gap between the split-level and the bungalow is widening: +4% in 2016, +15% in 2026. 7 of 41 cities show the same move: the split-level offers a family more square feet than the bungalow.
- Against the two-storey house, the split-level sells at -13% ($880,000 versus $1,008,000 in 2026 (January to September)): the full second floor keeps its premium, as in most cities tracked.
- Share of each type among all single-family homes sold in Kirkland since 2016 (2,554 sales): bungalow 14%, two-storey 73%, split-level 12%. The split-level weighs 12% of sales against 6% at the median of the cities tracked.
- 2019 to 2022, the three rock-bottom-rate years: two-storey +51%, split-level +55%, bungalow +52%.
- 2026 (January to September) versus 2025: bungalow +2.6% ($743,500 to $762,500), two-storey -4.5% ($1,055,000 to $1,008,000), split-level +9.3% ($805,000 to $880,000).
- Annual peaks: two-storey $1,070,000 in 2022, split-level $880,000 in 2026, bungalow $773,000 in 2022. The split-level house fell in 2023, 2025.
- Benchmark: all types combined, the median single-family home in Kirkland sells for $955,000 in 2026 (January to September), +100% since 2016 (all-types series); the split-level house sits at -8% against that benchmark.
Which house to choose in Kirkland: split-level, storey-and-a-half, bungalow or two-storey?
In Kirkland, the split-level is a notch above the bungalow: +15%, or $117,500 more at the median. What the buyer pays for is floor area: three or four half-levels, often a built-in garage and a family room at garden level, on a 1970s-to-1990s suburban lot. For a family that wants square feet without the price of a recent two-storey house, it is the type to look at; for the seller, the argument is living space, not age.
How to read these numbers
One median per year and per property type, for all of Kirkland. The type comes from the Centris listing and says nothing about the condition or the floor area of the house. The gap between two types measures what the market pays for the typical house of each type, not what yours would be worth in the other shape. Years with fewer than 10 sales are not published; when 2026 is missing, the reference year is named. A broker evaluation settles it for one specific house.
