Seattle Housing Market Overview
Seattle is a global tech hub anchored by Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and a thriving startup ecosystem. The Emerald City offers stunning natural beauty, a vibrant cultural scene, and some of the highest-paying jobs in America — along with a competitive housing market.
Seattle's higher FHA limit of $977,500 makes FHA loans viable for many properties that would be considered jumbo in other markets. Washington has no state income tax, which helps offset higher home prices. Eastside cities like Bellevue and Redmond offer suburban living with tech employer proximity.
