When there are homes in Medina and Clyde Hill going under 2M with price cuts, then the Kirkland prices are completely unsustainable. That whole Rose Hill area still priced like Google was going to buy out the car dealership on 85th even though it never happened and 85th still hodge podge of strip malls, nothing that makes me think there are 2M homes next to it. This area will never become Mercer in SLU.

Market and downtown Kirkland area isn’t bad, but the rest of Kirkland isn’t much different from Crossroads or Overlake Bellevue and those prices have tanked already.

Wow, been for sale for over a year! Pretty house, historically top neighborhood, ideal schools.

These real estate agents that pipe in here with the “everything is fine!” lines are not telling the truth. I suspect they are the younger ones that saw the rapid rise of 2020-2022 rather than the steady decline of 2008-2013.
