What a Seattle-area house is worth, August 2026
The typical Seattle-metro home was worth $727,359 in August 2026, down 1.5% from a year earlier. Against the series high of $769,953 in June 2022, that leaves the market 5.5% below its high-water mark.
ZHVI measures the value of the typical home rather than the price of the homes that happened to sell, so it does not lurch when an expensive neighbourhood has a busy month — which is exactly what makes it readable month to month, and what makes it a better trend line than asking prices.
Nominal dollars, metro-wide. Zillow revises the back series when its model is updated, so older points can move slightly between builds.
