What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 521 closed sales in Renton over the last six months, with a median closing price of $699,999. 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. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.

Median home price in Renton, WA (August 2026)

The median home price in Renton is $699,999, measured across the 521 closed sales Resideline tracked over the last six months.

The Renton angle

Renton sits at the south end of Lake Washington and has long been shaped by Boeing's plant there, along with more recent office and retail growth. Our six-month tracking includes 521 closings at a median of $699,999. The city spans a wide range of housing, from older homes in the Highlands and downtown to newer hillside subdivisions toward Fairwood and Benson, which is why a single median covers so much ground. For buyers moving south from Seattle or Bellevue, Renton's midpoint reflects a still-expensive King County market rather than a discount one.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. 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. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states.
