Sammamish, WA Housing Market Update — April 2026

Sammamish continues to be one of the most sought-after communities on the Eastside, and the April 2026 data reflects a market that's finding its footing after years of volatility. With 53 homes sold in the last 30 days and a median sold price of $1,614,000, Sammamish remains a high-value market — but one where buyers are gaining a bit more leverage than they've seen in recent years. Whether you're casually curious or seriously considering a sale, here's what the current numbers mean for you.

What Homes Are Selling For

The numbers in Sammamish are anything but modest. The median sold price came in at $1,614,000, while the average sold price reached $1,801,104 — a gap that reflects a handful of higher-end sales pulling the average upward. In fact, the price range this past month ran from $270,000 all the way to $6,000,000, showing the breadth of what's available in this zip code.

On a per-square-foot basis, homes sold at a median of $609 per sq ft and an average of $624 per sq ft. For context, that's a meaningful benchmark when you're trying to estimate where your own home might land. The typical sold home had just under 4 bedrooms, with an average of 3.8 bedrooms.

The vast majority of what sold was single-family homes — 47 out of 53 sales — with a small number of condos, one townhome, and one land sale rounding out the mix.

How Fast Are Homes Selling

Homes in Sammamish are taking a bit more time to sell than the frenzy-era pace many sellers became accustomed to. The median days on market was 32 days, while the average stretched to 47 days. That spread between median and average tells us that while many homes are going under contract in just over a month, a portion of listings are sitting longer — likely homes that are overpriced, in need of updates, or simply not positioned well for today's buyers.

What does this mean practically? If your home is priced right and shows well, you can still expect solid interest within the first few weeks. But the days of receiving five offers by Sunday are less reliable right now. Preparation and pricing matter more than ever.

Current Inventory

There are currently 219 active listings in Sammamish, with a median list price of $1,599,000 and an average list price of $1,671,031. The median list price per square foot sits at $591 — slightly below the median sold price per square foot of $609, which suggests that well-priced homes are still achieving or exceeding their asking price.

With 219 homes on the market and 53 sold in the past 30 days, buyers have a reasonable number of options to consider. This is neither a desperate scramble nor a sluggish oversupply — it's a market with meaningful inventory on both sides of the transaction.

Market Outlook

Based on the current data, Sammamish is operating as a balanced market. That means neither buyers nor sellers hold a dramatic advantage right now. Sellers can still command strong prices — especially for well-maintained, properly priced homes — but buyers have enough choices that they're taking their time and negotiating where they can.

For homeowners thinking about the future, a balanced market isn't bad news. It simply means that strategy matters. Homes that are priced accurately and presented thoughtfully are still moving, and they're moving at historically high price points by almost any measure.

What This Means If You're Thinking About Selling

If you've been on the fence about selling your Sammamish home, this is a reasonable time to start having serious conversations. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Pricing accurately from day one is critical. Overpriced listings are the ones sitting past 47 days — and price reductions can signal weakness to buyers.
• Condition and presentation matter. In a balanced market, buyers have options. A home that's move-in ready will always outperform one that needs work.
• Your timeline is a factor. If you need to sell quickly or want certainty without the traditional listing process, there are alternatives worth exploring.
• Equity is strong. With a median sold price over $1.6 million, most long-term Sammamish homeowners are sitting on substantial equity — which gives you real flexibility in how you sell.

The market isn't discouraging — it's just more measured than the peaks of recent years. That's actually a healthier environment for thoughtful decision-making.
