The King County Assessor’s office has begun the annual process of mailing property valuation notices to taxpayers. Notices will be arriving in two west Seattle neighborhoods soon.
Median residential property values rose by 9.2% in Fauntleroy, and by 8% in North Central West Seattle.
Data indicates that home sale prices and overall home values have risen sharply in most King Count neighborhoods, despite the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“No one knew what to expect a little over a year ago when this public health emergency began,” said Assessor John Wilson. “Now it is clear that a primary impact on property values has been caused by homeowners not wanting to sell at this time, leading to reduced supply and big price and value increases.”
