Learn moreA genuinely high-end, single-family-dominated market
Sammamish's housing stock skews heavily toward larger single-family homes on real, suburban-scale lots -- a genuinely different housing-type mix than Kirkland's or Bellevue's more condo-inclusive downtown cores, contributing to the city's high median price figures.
A real, disclosed price spread by reference period
The $1.41M figure reflects 2024-dated data, while the separately cited $1.5M figure reflects a more recent snapshot -- both disclosed rather than reconciled, consistent with genuine, ongoing Eastside price appreciation.
Demand anchors: schools and affluence
Sammamish's housing demand is driven overwhelmingly by families targeting specific top-rated schools within the city's three-district split -- a real, distinct demand driver from Kirkland's or Redmond's employer-proximity-driven demand.
A high cost-of-living index reflects the broader market
Sammamish's cost-of-living index of 179 (1.8x the national average) reflects not just housing but the city's broader high-end consumer market -- a real, honest factor for buyers budgeting beyond the mortgage alone.
