Bothell, WA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Bothell 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: 327
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $980,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $478
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $615,000 and $1,250,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 327 closed sales in Bothell over the last six months, with a median closing price of $980,000. 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 $615,000 and $1,250,000. 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 325 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $412 and $539 per square foot.

Where Bothell sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Bothell 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 $615,000 and $1,250,000. Among the 67 Washington markets with a published band, Bothell's middle-half spread ($615,000 to $1,250,000) ranks 62nd from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 79th percentile of the 2,230 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of October 3, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 19 days, across 220 Bothell closings Resideline tracked in the last six months

The Bothell angle

Bothell's tracked record over the last six months runs 327 closings, with a median closed sale price of $980,000 and a middle half stretching from $615,000 to $1,250,000. That is wider than most markets we track, and the width is not evenly distributed: the stretch from the median down to the lower quartile is far longer than the stretch up to the upper quartile. A below-median estimate can sit a long way under the midpoint and still describe an ordinary Bothell closing, while an above-median number exhausts the ordinary range much sooner. Price from closed sales that match the subject, and state plainly which side of the median your evidence actually supports.

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, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR 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 Bothell 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 Bothell over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Bothell 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 21% of the 327 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone matched it at $980,000.
