Washington State Licensed and Certified Appraisers serving the greater Puget Sound area.
Hunts Point is one of the smallest incorporated cities in Washington state, with approximately 450 residents on a Lake Washington peninsula that is almost entirely occupied by estate-class single-family homes. The city exists as a municipality specifically to maintain the residential-only, low-density character of the peninsula. There are no commercial properties, no traffic cut-throughs, and no density exceptions. That preservation of character is the product buyers pay for.
Sales volume is necessarily thin. In a typical year, fewer than 15 properties trade in Hunts Point, which means every appraisal requires a comp search that extends to Medina, Yarrow Point, Clyde Hill, and Evergreen Point. The appraiser's ability to identify which of those cross-city sales are genuinely comparable — in waterfront characteristics, lot configuration, view quality, and improvement size — determines whether the analysis is credible.
AppraisalMS handles Hunts Point appraisals for estate administration, trust valuation, divorce proceedings, and purchase transactions. We work the entire points-cities market routinely and maintain current sales data across all five incorporated cities in this corridor — Hunts Point, Yarrow Point, Medina, Clyde Hill, and Evergreen Point — to produce analyses that can withstand scrutiny in any professional context.
Hunts Point is a peninsula city of roughly 450 residents with essentially no interior — every home is oriented toward Lake Washington water frontage or views. The city has no commercial properties, no apartments, and no subdivisions. Each property is individually appraised against a comp pool drawn from the entire Eastside luxury waterfront market, because the sales volume within the city itself is too thin to support analysis on its own.
Hunts Point's southern boundary connects to Clyde Hill, whose large-lot estate properties share buyer profiles and comparable price tiers with Hunts Point's non-waterfront edge. Sales from Clyde Hill are regularly used as comps for Hunts Point interior lots, and appraisers must be familiar with both markets to work here effectively.
Yarrow Point sits immediately north of Hunts Point on the next peninsula, creating a continuous waterfront corridor that buyers and brokers treat as a single market. Cross-city comps between Hunts Point and Yarrow Point are standard practice, not an exception — the cities are physically adjacent and the buyer pool is identical.
Medina borders Hunts Point to the south and west, and sales data from Medina waterfront is among the most relevant available for Hunts Point waterfront assignments. The shared Lake Washington exposure, similar lot configurations, and overlapping buyer profiles make Medina and Hunts Point natural comp sources for each other despite being separate jurisdictions.
At the inland approach to Hunts Point, the transition from the peninsula's estate character to Bellevue's more suburban Eastgate area is abrupt. Buyers specifically target Hunts Point's incorporated-city identity, and the value premium for being inside the city boundary versus just outside it in Bellevue is real and measurable in the comp record.
The Hunts Point Road corridor along the eastern shore of the peninsula produces the highest-value residential sales in the city. Properties here front directly on Lake Washington with open water views east toward the Cascade foothills and south toward Bellevue's skyline. Private dock rights, setback from the high-water mark, and view arc quality are the primary differentiators within this already elite sub-set.
Lake Washington frontage is the sole primary value driver — there is no other amenity in Hunts Point that meaningfully competes with it. Within the waterfront tier, differences in dock rights, frontage footage, water depth, and view arc produce sale-to-sale price spreads of millions of dollars. The city's position on a peninsula, with water views available from multiple elevations and orientations, means a careful view analysis is required on every assignment regardless of how straightforward the property appears.
Cafe Juanita in nearby Kirkland — a James Beard-recognized Italian restaurant with 4.6-plus stars from a loyal and substantial review base — represents the caliber of dining that residents of the points cities access regularly. The broader Kirkland and Bellevue restaurant corridor provides the full-service dining environment that supports a residential community at this income level, and that access is priced into the desirability of all the Eastside lakefront enclaves.
AppraisalMS provides estate appraisals, purchase appraisals, trust and divorce appraisals, and litigation-support appraisals in Hunts Point. Every Hunts Point assignment involves waterfront analysis, cross-city comp selection, and work at the extreme high end of the King County price spectrum. We bring the same methodology and the same comp rigor to a $5M Hunts Point interior lot as to a $25M waterfront estate, because both require the precision that thin-market luxury appraisal demands.
AppraisalMS delivers accurate, defensible residential appraisals across the greater Puget Sound. Serving Hunts Point and surrounding communities.
