What Is My Washington Home Really Worth? Why Online Estimates Can Be Thousands of Dollars Off

King County • Pierce County • Snohomish County • Kittitas County • Suncadia • Ellensburg

If you've ever searched your address on Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com or another website, you've probably noticed something surprising.

One site says your home is worth $875,000.

Another says $922,000.

A third estimates $960,000.

So which one is right?

The honest answer is...

None of them may be.

Online home values are useful starting points, but they cannot walk through your front door, see your upgrades, evaluate your view, or understand what buyers are actually paying today in your neighborhood.

As a real estate broker working throughout King, Pierce, Snohomish and surrounding counties, one of the most common questions I receive is:

"What is my home actually worth right now?"

The answer depends on much more than an algorithm.

Your home has been on the market for 30 days. Now what?

A home that hasn’t sold in the first month doesn’t automatically need a price reduction—but continuing with the same strategy and hoping for a different result usually isn’t the answer.

In today’s Eastside market, sellers need to understand:

• Why online views aren’t becoming showings
• Why showings aren’t becoming offers
• When a price adjustment actually makes sense
• Whether marketing, presentation or buyer expectations are the real issue
• What an experienced listing agent should evaluate after 30 days

Fast markets can hide mistakes. Slower markets expose them.

After more than 11 years in real estate, I’ve learned that sometimes the price needs to change, sometimes the marketing needs to change—and sometimes the market simply needs more time. The key is knowing the difference.

I explain exactly what Eastside sellers should do in my newest article:

Montaine home values peaked in 2022—but have they finally recovered?

I analyzed 13 years of actual neighborhood sales, including the COVID surge, the 2023 correction and where prices stand in 2026.

The numbers:

🏡 $750K median in 2013
📈 $1.95M median in 2022
📉 $1.65M median in 2023
🔑 $1.81M median so far in 2026
🏆 $2.8M highest recorded sale

The market is moving again, but not every Montaine home has changed in value equally.
