If you own a house in Lacey Green, here is the honest picture. The average HonestDoor Price is sitting at $1,123,592 - up 1.09% from the previous period. That is real, current movement. The city's tax assessment? That number is already old by the time it lands in your mailbox.
On the sales side, we saw one house trade hands with an average sale price of $875,000 and a price per square foot of around $773. Volume is quiet, which is not unusual for this pocket of Kirkland. Low sales count means each transaction carries a lot of weight when it comes to reading the market.
Here is where it gets interesting for us in Lacey Green. On growth, we rank 2 out of 3 comparable neighborhoods in Kirkland. Not the top spot, but solidly in the conversation. On price, we rank 2 out of 2 in the affordable tier - which means buyers who get priced out of the pricier Kirkland pockets are looking our way. That is a tailwind, not a warning sign.
Compare us to the neighbors. Westminster is coming in at a HonestDoor Price of $732,892 with rental estimates around $3,410. The other Kirkland comparables sit at $1,092,295 and $595,288. Lacey Green is holding its own at the top of that range, and our predicted value of $1,096,391 is already nudging past the nearby Kirkland benchmark of $1,078,848.
Your city assessment is a snapshot from the past. It does not know about the 1.75% value change that has happened recently. It does not factor in that your neighborhood just hit the No. 1 Airbnb ranking in Kirkland, with income potential around $226 per night. That kind of short-term rental appeal adds real dollars to what a buyer will pay.
The HonestDoor Price is updated in real time. It is pulling in current sales data, rental demand, and local market movement - not what a government office calculated months ago. If your tax assessment says one thing and your HonestDoor Price says $1,123,592, the gap between those two numbers is money left on the table if you do not know it exists.
Here is the straight talk. Predicted values are trending up - $1,096,391 now versus a 3-month average of $1,081,154. The market is moving in the right direction, even if sales volume is low. Low inventory actually works in a seller's favor. Fewer competing listings means your home gets more attention.
A 4.58% rental yield also tells buyers this is not just a place to live - it is an asset that earns. That is a strong pitch for anyone running the numbers on a purchase.
If you are thinking about listing this summer, do not anchor your expectations to an old assessment. Pull your HonestDoor Price, see where you actually stand at $1,123,592, and have a real conversation about timing. The data says the window is open. Whether you walk through it is up to you.
