Market Update: Mercer Island, WA 98040

Just east of Seattle, west of Bellevue, and north of Renton over Interstate 90 in the southend of Lake Washington stands Mercer Island. Mercer Island is also a city, and one of the premiere neighborhoods in the Northwest. The only way on and off this Island City without a boat is Interstate 90.

Mercer Island, Washington - Google Map

You're just minutes from downtown Seattle, or Bellevue.

Some of my favorite views are from the south end of the Island... looking south and east at the Cascade Mountains and Mt. Rainier...

At my most recent count Mercer Island has 7162 homes. There are 782 with Lake Washington lake front.

Our study today is only looking at MI properties that are not waterfront. As most of you are very aware, waterfront and non-waterfront properties is like comparing apples and almonds, you can't.
