Bellevue Median Home Price in 2026: What the Latest Data Shows

Bellevue is expensive, but one citywide number does not tell the full story. The latest June 2026 data gives buyers a useful snapshot. Still, listing price, sold price, property type, and neighborhood can point to different budgets. This guide shows how to use Bellevue median price data without overreading it.

Quick Answer: Bellevue Median Home Price in 2026

The latest available June 2026 data puts Bellevue’s median sold price at $1.445 million and its median listing price at $1.6 million. That means this is a monthly market snapshot, not a fixed full-year 2026 price.

According to Realtor.com, Bellevue had a $1,600,000 median listing price and $1,445,000 median sold price in June 2026. Listing price shows seller expectations, while sold price is closer to what buyers actually paid. (Source: Realtor.com Bellevue Housing Market, June 2026)

The latest June 2026 data shows two useful benchmarks:

Bellevue	$1.6M median listing price	Current seller asking-price benchmark
Bellevue	$1.445M median sold price	Completed-sale benchmark

Bellevue Median Sold Price by Property Type

Bellevue median sold price changes sharply by property type. A buyer near the citywide median may feel strong in condos, average in some townhomes, and stretched in detached homes.

Use this section to decide which Bellevue property type fits your budget. It also shows why buyers should compare the same home type before writing an offer.

The following figures show June 2026 median sold prices by property type.

Property Type	Median Sold Price	What This Means	What to Watch
Condo	$663,000	Condos are often the lower entry point into Bellevue ownership. The monthly cost can still rise with HOA dues.	HOA dues, reserves, rental rules, special assessments, financing
Townhome	$762,500	Townhomes may price below the citywide median. Space, parking, and resale value can vary widely.	HOA, parking, layout, shared walls, street exposure
Single-Family Residential	$1,835,000	Detached homes often sit above the citywide sold-price snapshot. Location and condition matter a lot.	Lot, school boundary, remodel cost, roof, HVAC, sewer
New Construction	$2,975,000	New builds usually carry a premium. Buyers still need to inspect builder quality.	Builder quality, warranty, privacy, lot usability

Bellevue Median Listing Price by Neighborhood

Bellevue’s citywide median blends premium and entry-level areas together. That is why neighborhood-level listing prices are useful for understanding seller expectations in each area.

A home below Bellevue’s citywide median may still be expensive for its neighborhood. A home above the median may be fair in a premium pocket.

The following figures show June 2026 median listing prices by Bellevue neighborhood.

Bellevue Area	Median Listing Price	Buying Decision Takeaway
Downtown Bellevue	$1,055,000	Condo-heavy area with walkability and office access. Review HOA and building health first.
West Bellevue	$2,938,880	Well above the citywide median. Best for premium single-family and luxury buyers.
Northwest Bellevue	$2,698,000	High-end west-side market. Study lot value, condition, and resale strength.
Lake Hills	$1,519,900	Close to Bellevue’s median range. Good for residential feel and Bellevue access.
Crossroads	$758,500	Far below the citywide median. Check HOA, age, and resale competition.
Eastgate	$1,499,500	Near the Bellevue median. Often fits commute-focused and family-oriented buyers.
Newport	$1,298,500	Below the citywide median. Useful for buyers seeking more budget control.
Somerset	$1,990,000	Above the median. Pricing often reflects views, schools, and quiet streets.
Enatai	$3,998,000	Bellevue luxury tier. Do not judge offers by the citywide median.

What Does the Bellevue Median Home Price Mean for Your Budget?

A $1.445 million median sold price does not mean every Bellevue buyer needs a $1.445 million budget. The property type and neighborhood you choose can change the price significantly.

A buyer shopping for a condo may find options well below the citywide median, while a buyer targeting a detached home in West Bellevue or Enatai may need a much higher budget. That is why the citywide median works best as a market benchmark, not a personal price target.

Buyers should compare the median with recent sales for the same property type and neighborhood before deciding whether a specific home is fairly priced.

Is Bellevue Getting Cheaper in 2026?

Not broadly. June 2026 data suggests buyers had more leverage in some parts of Bellevue, but the market did not suddenly become cheap.

Realtor.com reported a $1,600,000 median listing price, a $1,445,000 median sold price, and 36 median days on market in June 2026. The median sold price was down 12.42% year over year. (Source: Realtor.com Bellevue Housing Market, June 2026)

The data points to a market with more room for negotiation than a rapidly rising market, but Bellevue remains expensive. The difference between neighborhoods and property types also remains significant, so citywide price trends do not tell the full story.

In real life, buyers feel this split quickly. One home may sit for weeks. Another may still get strong activity in the first weekend.

Bottom Line: What Bellevue Median Home Price Means for Buyers

Bellevue’s median home price is useful, but it is not a buying rule. It tells you the market’s rough entry pressure. Your real decision starts with property type, neighborhood, condition, monthly cost, and recent sold comps.

If your budget is below the median, focus on condos, townhomes, Crossroads, or Newport. If your budget is near the median, compare HOA, condition, and location carefully. If your budget is above the median, check whether the premium is supported by resale demand.
