Bainbridge Island, WA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Bainbridge Island produces a steady stream of closings but little consensus: sales over the last six months span a range wide enough that the median is a midpoint between different markets, not a going rate. The distribution below matters more than the headline.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 288
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $1,230,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $548
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $790,000 and $1,717,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 288 closed sales in Bainbridge Island over the last six months, with a median closing price of $1,230,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $790,000 and $1,717,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. Across the 286 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $461 and $699 per square foot.

Where Bainbridge Island sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Bainbridge Island over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $790,000 and $1,717,000. Among the 64 Washington markets with a published band, Bainbridge Island's middle-half spread ($790,000 to $1,717,000) ranks 60th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

The Bainbridge Island angle

A wide band asks for more work per address, and Bainbridge Island has one: $790,000 and $1,717,000 sit further apart than in most markets we track. The middle half of tracked sales therefore covers a lot of ground, and $1,230,000 marks its center without telling you much about a particular property. The upper half of the band is the wider side. Sales above the midpoint are spread further apart than those below it, so an upper-tier subject is both further from the citywide figure and harder to bracket with generic comps. 288 closings make a solid sample, so the response is to segment rather than to hedge. Match on property type and a living-area window first, take the median of the survivors, and only then compare with $1,230,000. The comparison tells you where your subject's kind of property trades relative to the city's middle, which is useful in itself and lost entirely if you start from the citywide number.

From market read to offer price

A spread this wide means the citywide number cannot price a specific address; the step that matters is the property-level read. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Bainbridge Island address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Bainbridge Island over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Bainbridge Island city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 23% of the 288 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $1,250,000.
