Woodinville Real Estate

Woodinville Housing Market

Woodinville remains one of the most desirable places on the Eastside — the mix of suburban space, wine country character, and proximity to Microsoft and Google campuses hasn't changed. But the market itself has cooled more than most nearby cities. As of May 2026, the median sale price sits around $952K, down about 20% from a year ago, and homes are taking roughly 19 days to sell on average, nearly three times last year's pace. Fewer homes have sold overall compared to this time last year. For buyers, that's real news: there's more room to negotiate here than in almost any other Eastside market right now, especially outside the most sought-after acreage and vineyard-adjacent properties, which still draw strong interest when they're priced right.

Woodinville real estate includes:

  • Luxury estates & custom homes – Often on acreage, with sweeping views and resort-style amenities

  • Family-friendly neighborhoods – Safe communities with access to award-winning schools

  • Vineyard & equestrian properties – Homes with space for horses, hobby farms, or wine country living

  • Waterfront homes – Properties near the Sammamish River or along quiet creeks and lakes

If you're buying in Woodinville right now, you're in a stronger position than you would have been a year ago. If you're selling, pricing accurately from day one matters more than ever — the homes sitting longest are the ones that launched too high for where this market actually is.
