Q2 2026 delivered a bifurcated Eastside luxury market: single-family homes held firm as a seller's market at 3.5 months of supply, while Eastside condominiums shifted to a neutral market at 5.5 months — giving buyers meaningfully more leverage in the lock-and-leave segment. Mortgage rates eased to 6.4% from 6.8% a year ago, even as the Eastside single-family median settled at $1.5M, down 3.85% year-over-year.

What the Four-Quarter Data Reveals
Inventory Cooling From Its Peak
Inventory growth peaked at +63.6% in Q3 2025, moderated through winter, spiked again to +61.79% in Q1 2026's spring surge, then eased to +29.44% in Q2 2026 — a sign the spring listing rush is settling into a steadier summer pace.
Pricing Holds Its Ground
Eastside median moved from $1.475M (Q3 2025) to $1.455M (Q4), back to $1.475M (Q1 2026), and up to $1.5M in Q2 2026 — a +1.7% four-quarter gain that shows luxury pricing power despite rising inventory.
Rates Trending Favorably
Rates fell from 6.8% (Q3 2025) to 6.1% (Q1 2026) before ticking back up slightly to 6.4% in Q2 2026 — still meaningfully better than a year ago, sustaining improved buyer purchasing power.
Market Balance Continues Shifting
Months of inventory climbed from 2.5 (Q3 2025) to 3.5 (Q2 2026) — a 40% increase over four quarters. Single-family remains seller-favorable, but the gap is narrowing, and Eastside condos have already crossed into neutral territory.

Why I Publish Quarterly Reports
From Freddy Delgadillo, CLHMS® | 25+ Years Eastside Luxury Expertise
In 25+ years representing Bellevue, Mercer Island, Kirkland, and Eastside luxury buyers and sellers, I've learned one critical truth: timing is everything in luxury real estate.
The $3M buyer who waits for "annual data" misses the Q3 inventory surge. The waterfront seller who relies on year-old comps leaves $200K on the table. The family relocating for Microsoft's fall bonuses loses multiple-offer leverage by not tracking quarterly momentum.
These quarterly reports aren't academic exercises—they're the exact data I use with my own clients to identify:
- When waterfront inventory peaks (Q2-Q3) versus when competition is lowest (Q4-Q1)
- Which luxury segments are appreciating quarter-over-quarter versus plateauing
- How days-on-market trends signal whether we're entering buyer or seller momentum
- When interest rate shifts create narrow windows for aggressive buyer action
I publish these reports because my reputation is built on clients who win—not clients who act on stale data. Every 90 days, the luxury market tells us something new. My job is translating that signal into your strategic advantage.
Whether you're positioning a $5M estate or identifying your family's next Bellevue School District home, these quarterly insights are your starting point. Let's discuss how this quarter's data applies to your specific goals.
