Bellevue incorporated in 1953, then annexed Crossroads in 1964, Lake Hills in 1969, Factoria in 1993 (HistoryLink). The 2020 Census counted 151,854 residents. So a 1950s Lake Hills house, a 1960s Somerset home and a downtown condo rarely share comps.
Wikipedia counts almost 10,000 housing units in these 400 acres between I-405, NE 12th Street, 100th Avenue NE and Main Street. Floor, view and dues separate condos more than size does, so we start with sales in the same building.
The city's 2021 plan says downtown nearly splits this area in two, with SR 520 cutting off Yarrowood. Much of it went up in the 1950s and has been rebuilt a little every decade since, so remodel level outweighs the county's year built.
Built in 22 divisions, more than 1,200 homes from the early 1960s to the late 1970s, per Wikipedia. The hill tops out just under 1,000 feet. Neighbors can have a full lake view, a partial one or none, and we judge it from inside the house.
R. H. Connor bought about 1,200 acres here in 1954 and planned roughly 4,000 homes, HistoryLink reports. The houses started out much alike. Sixty years of additions and kitchen remodels are what set one sale apart from the next.
About 340 homes line canals and marinas built on 1960s fill, and every owner belongs to the Newport Yacht Club, per HistoryLink. Canal lots are compared with canal lots, with moorage and club dues written into the report.
Water and view move Bellevue values most: Lake Washington, Lake Sammamish, the Newport Shores canals and hills like Somerset. Then come build era, remodel level, freeway noise and condo dues. Each is measured against Bellevue sales, never a rule of thumb.
Our purchase, refinance and FHA appraisals are ordered by lenders. Owners and attorneys hire us for estate and date of death, divorce, pre listing and private or relocation reports. Owners contesting a King County assessment can begin with our property tax appeal guide.
You get the report on the date we set, with updates along the way. Gerry spent years as Chief Appraiser for a national AMC, sending back reports that left an underwriter guessing. So when one of our Bellevue condo reports uses a sale from a different tower, it says why on the page.
