For This Residential Transaction Study, we looked at a total of 6485 single family dwellings in the 98406 zip code and analyzed the sales trends over the last six months. A glance at the data shows that the number of transactions has increased dramatically and both the average and median prices per month have both generally increased.

The month of June shows the most activity with 32 sales, .5% market turnover, average sale price of $307,702, and a median price of $281, 925.

With forecasters expecting that first time home buyers making up the bulk of the home purchases in the next couple years, it's interesting to note that 36% of the population in this zip code is in their twenties and thirties.
