Median list price of King County residential listings, monthly, 2016 to August 2026, climbing from the mid-$500,000s to around $849k.

The median King County listing asked $849,000 in August 2026, down 1.3% from a year earlier. Read this as what sellers want, not what buyers pay: it is the midpoint of what is on the market, so it moves with the mix of homes listed as much as with prices. A month heavy on Eastside houses lifts it without anything getting more expensive.

For the price of what actually changes hands, home values is the better series — it holds the mix constant. This one is the faster read, and it is the one sellers are looking at.
