Getting around
The 2 Line light rail extension now reaches downtown Redmond. SR 520 and SR 202 serve drivers, and the Sammamish River Trail connects to Bothell.
Housing stock
Downtown has dense newer condos and apartments near the light rail station, while Education Hill and Grass Lawn hold established single family stock.
Who Redmond suits
Fits buyers tied to Redmond employment who value the new rail connection. Detached housing away from the station behaves quite differently from transit-adjacent condos.

The Redmond market right now
Redmond has a typical home value of $1,364,000. That runs about 64% above the $834,000 median across the King County cities we serve. Against all 50 cities we cover, it sits roughly 91% above the $715,500 midpoint.

Our read on Redmond
Redmond is the market most directly tied to Microsoft hiring, which cuts both ways depending on the year. Light rail reaching downtown has supported values around the station while the broader Eastside softened. Condo and townhome inventory near the station behaves differently from detached housing further out.
