Homes going off-market in less than a week. Is Kirkland worth it or should we start looking at other areas in East/North Seattle? HHTC: 510K House budget: 1.9-2.1M Looking for accessible neighborhood with good schools/amenities for kids. #housing #seattle #kirkland #redmond #bothell #sammamish
High drug use in Sammamish schools
But not in Kirkland?
Is this common in WA schools?
What an eyesore. :( the 8740 home!!
Wait, this isn’t a question about Costco products?
Oh that Kirkland is hit or miss!!
Budget seems rather high for that TC. NW?
Been saving for a few years. No other loans. We plan to sell stocks for down payment of 25% so the monthly payments can be managed with TCs.
Then you should be good. Assuming you’re only looking for SFH, Kirkland/Sammamish/Kenmore is your best bet with that budget.
2M is ok for 500k TC. 2.5 M will be a stretch but you will get nicer town house near Market street.Also jaunita and kingsgate area is not as nice as market street.
Can’t afford 2.5M. Is Rose hill doable within 2.1M? How is Rose Hill compared to Market Street?
You will get something for 2M in a nicer part of kirkland, but might have to spend another 100k to freshen up. If you have time to deal with contractors you can build a lot of sweat equity. If I have 2M I will do that.
Anywhere east side is better than Seattle. Kirkland with that budget is going to need some work or be smallish. Sammamish has good schools, https://redf.in/TThaKv
Kirkland, especially the market street area is amazing. Have been living here for five years and our kids love it here
Won't buy 2.1M with 550 unless u have sizable savings already. You be one layoff away from not making mortgage payments
Yeah have savings. Planning to get monthly payments down to manageable levels
Used to live in Bellevue. Bought a 2.7m near downtown w 500k hhtc a couple years back at 2.9%. Quite managable. The walkability is amazing.
Good for you. At current rates and our HHTC it’s not possible
Well. I think the price was higher then because the rate was so low.

Lasik cost
Worth what living yes, but these are ugly houses for this price point.
The area has become so unaffordable that the houses we like usually go to 2.5+, gotta adjust within the budget :(
