Our read on Sammamish
Sammamish is a plateau city built largely in the last thirty years around two of the strongest school districts in Washington. Housing stock is newer and more uniform than most of the Eastside, which makes pricing comparatively predictable. It saw one of the sharper year over year declines in our coverage, which has opened room for buyers who were priced out.
