The move is set to be complete by 2023.]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a spotlight on <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/1387\/WA\/Bellevue\">Bellevue<\/a>\u2019s real estate market after <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seattletimes.com\/business\/amazon\/huge-downtown-seattle-office-space-that-amazon-had-leased-is-reportedly-put-on-market\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon gave up plans to occupy a skyscraper<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the capacity for up to 5,000 employees in downtown <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/16163\/WA\/Seattle\">Seattle<\/a>. The move is intensifying speculation that Amazon will focus its hometown growth on the Eastside suburbs over the next few years. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Located across Lake Washington from Seattle, Bellevue is already a popular place for tech workers who are buying homes in the Seattle area, partly because Microsoft is headquartered in nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/14913\/WA\/Redmond\">Redmond<\/a>. Local agents say Amazon\u2019s growing footprint in the area, along with Facebook\u2019s coming locations, will ignite renewed interest from millennial homebuyers with high incomes, modern tastes and desire for a single-family home in a suburban area. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon has already <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/seattle\/news\/2019\/02\/22\/hq-too-amazon-future-bellevue-rival-hq2.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">leased enough space in Bellevue<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to house nearly 7,000 employees and there\u2019s speculation that it\u2019s in talks to lease space that could fit more than 25,000 workers when all is said and done. Facebook has signed leases for a total of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/downtownbellevue.com\/2019\/01\/29\/facebook-lease-bellevue-spring-district\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nearly 700,000 square feet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Bellevue and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/seattle\/news\/2018\/10\/30\/facebook-building-x-redmond-plans-oculus-vr-labs.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">650,000 square feet in Redmond<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which together could hold thousands of employees. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve always seen a lot of Amazon and Microsoft employees buying homes on the Eastside because of its suburban atmosphere and highly rated schools,\u201d said Redfin agent <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/kathi-kelly-billings\">Kathi Kelly-Billings<\/a>. \u201cBut as Amazon builds out its presence in Bellevue over the next few years, I expect demand from young homebuyers to put pressure on the real estate market.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAs employees from Amazon and other large tech companies move over to the Eastside, whether their job is moving to Bellevue or they\u2019re planning to commute across the lake to work in <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/neighborhood\/2545\/WA\/Seattle\/South-Lake-Union\">South Lake Union<\/a>, they\u2019re creating a whole new cohort of buyers who are looking for something different in a home,\u201d Kelly-Billings continued. \u201cThey don\u2019t want their parents\u2019 or grandparents\u2019 house. They want new, modern construction. Because Bellevue has such a scarcity of land, I expect we\u2019ll see a lot of teardowns in the coming years, replaced with modern, high-tech homes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another potential effect of high-paying jobs on the Eastside is double homeownership. Kelly-Billings said about half of her homebuying clients in Bellevue consider holding onto their existing property when they move up, especially if they bought before 2015 and they\u2019ve paid off a chunk of their mortgage. Most of her client base consists of couples who are both high earners in the tech field, and their incomes are enough to qualify for two mortgages. \u201cRents have risen so much in the Seattle area that rent payments often cover their first mortgage, so it makes sense to hold onto properties,\u201d she said. \u201cThey\u2019ve seen firsthand how much home values can appreciate in just a few years, so many of my clients are hesitant to sell if they can afford to pay for two homes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bellevue is just across the lake from Seattle, though Bellevue, known as an affluent suburb with high-end homes, is more expensive: Compare Bellevue\u2019s median sale price of $858,000 with $630,000 in the city of Seattle. Both cities experienced a real estate frenzy in 2017 and the first half of 2018, followed by a slowdown at the end of last year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prices in Seattle proper were up year over year every month from April 2012 through December 2018 before falling 10 percent in the first month of 2019. Prices in Bellevue, which fell 6.2 percent in January, have followed a similar trend, though the suburb has experienced a bit more fluctuation.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-65189\" class=\"align-none\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"media-65190\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/sale-price-growth-bellevue.jpg\" alt=\"year-over-year price growth in Seattle and Bellevue\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"\" data-license-id=\"\" data-licensor-name=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In both cities, homes were flying off the market in the beginning of last year. In Bellevue, the typical home that sold in May 2018 had been on the market for just six days, compared to seven in Seattle. Since then, the number has risen in both cities, to 42 in Bellevue and 47 in Seattle for January 2019. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supply is a similar story. Inventory dropped year over year throughout 2017 in both Bellevue and Seattle before starting to rise in the beginning of 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"media-65194\" class=\"align-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Inventory-Bellevue-updated.jpg\" alt=\"Inventory growth in Seattle and Bellevue\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"\" data-license-id=\"\" data-licensor-name=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe extremely low inventory at the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018 created a real estate frenzy in Bellevue,\u201d said Kelly-Billings. \u201cBut with the correction that has happened since then, buyers and sellers are both a bit nervous. Some sellers are waiting to put their homes on the market because prices have been stagnant, and buyers have been wary because they don\u2019t know where the market is going.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Kelly-Billings said she\u2019s confident Bellevue\u2019s housing market will remain robust, especially because of the number of high-paying jobs coming to Seattle\u2019s eastern suburbs. \u201cThe market is healthy and getting healthier,\u201d she said. \u201cMicrosoft and Amazon are staying put, which helps create a real estate market on the Eastside that can withstand other fluctuating conditions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home prices in Bellevue were down 6.1 percent year over year in February, but Amazon\u2019s growth in the city could help its real estate market heat back up.
