May 2026 — Matthew’s Analysis of the Clyde Hill Market
In May 2026, the median sales price across Clyde Hill residential came in at $6.5M, up 37.3% from the month prior, while the median price per square foot stood at $988. Year over year the median is up 82.3%, a signal of underlying price support in this market.
On the supply side, Clyde Hill saw 12 new listings come to market in May 2026, against 23 homes for sale at month end. Active inventory is up 76.9% from a year ago, giving buyers a wider field of choices than they had last year. At roughly 8.5 months of supply, that points to a buyer-favored balance by the conventional rule of thumb (under three months favors sellers, over six favors buyers).
Demand stayed active: 3 pending sales and 3 closings in May 2026. The median home took about 18 days to sell — a steady, workable pace. Sellers are realizing about 96.6% of their original list price — below their original asking price, leaving room to negotiate.
Taken together, the ten indicators describe a buyer-leaning Clyde Hill market. Pricing has held up year over year, while inventory and pace are the levers worth watching month to month. For a buyer or seller weighing a move, the right read is rarely a single headline number — it is the direction these series are trending together, which is exactly what the full charts below lay out.

Clyde Hill Housing Market Trends & Residential Sales Data
Thinking about buying or selling a Residential home in Clyde Hill? This page tracks the Clyde Hill real estate market using live Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS) data—updated monthly with median sale prices, days on market, closed sales, and inventory levels.
Because Clyde Hill is one of the Eastside’s small, exclusive enclaves—a single-family community of large lots and view homes between Bellevue and the Points, with limited inventory and a concentration of luxury properties—individual sales carry outsized weight in the data. Transaction volume is low, so monthly figures can swing sharply from one period to the next. Reading the numbers in that context is essential. Whether you are timing a purchase or preparing to list, the data below provides a clear, objective look at current market conditions.

Why Direct Comps Reign Supreme
While median and average prices are useful for identifying broad market shifts, they are often too “macro” when you are trying to value a specific front door. To find the true market value of a Clyde Hill home, nothing beats a direct comparable (comp).

Direct comps account for the critical nuances that broader statistics completely ignore:
Hyper-Locality Matters
Clyde Hill is defined by elevation and view, and few markets reward location nuance more. A lot oriented toward the Seattle skyline, Lake Washington, or the Olympics can command a striking premium over a similar home a block away that looks the wrong direction—well beyond 5% to 10%. The city’s height and vegetation regulations exist precisely to protect those view corridors, which makes a given lot’s outlook a durable, valuable asset. Combine that with high underlying lot values, strong demand for the Bellevue School District, and how few homes trade here each year, and a citywide average tells you very little. A direct comp reflects the reality of the specific lot, elevation, and outlook.
Accounting for Quality and Finishes
Broad data points can’t distinguish between builder-grade finishes and high-end custom upgrades—a distinction that matters enormously at this price tier. Whether a home features standard finishes or fully custom, architect-driven materials, direct comps allow for “line-item” adjustments. Clyde Hill is an active teardown-and-rebuild market, so an original mid-century home and a brand-new estate can sit side by side on comparable lots at very different values. Line-item adjustments ensure the premium investments made in a home are actually reflected in its valuation.
The “Vibe” Factor
Statistics often treat square footage as equal, but buyers don’t. A 1960s daylight rambler held for decades and a 2026 modern custom build might share the exact same footprint, yet they appeal to entirely different buyer pools—and on a prime lot, the land itself may be the real driver. Using direct comps ensures you’re comparing “apples to apples” by matching the architectural style, character, and lifestyle appeal of a property.
The Bottom Line: If you want to know what a home is worth in today’s market, look past the ZIP code averages and focus on the most similar properties that have closed nearby—and, in a market this thin, the most comparable sales across the neighboring Points communities.
