Designated Broker, Founder & CEO — RexMont Real Estate · WA Lic. #27660
Adriano leads RexMont Real Estate — the most-reviewed real estate brokerage in Seattle and the Eastside. 1,200+ closed transactions, $1B+ in production, and 1,235 five-star Google reviews.
Clyde Hill is one of the highest-value square miles on the Eastside — same Bellevue School District attendance as Medina, smaller lots, lower price-of-entry, and roughly a quarter of premium transactions move quietly off-market. I'm Adriano Tori, founder and Designated Broker of RexMont Real Estate (WA Lic. #27660). Clyde Hill rewards a different playbook than the broader Bellevue market — the buyer pool is smaller and more discerning, off-market sourcing matters more than portal coverage, and premium prep and photography expectations are non-negotiable on the listing side.
The Clyde Hill market in 2026
Clyde Hill spans roughly 1.1 square miles directly east of Medina, perched above Lake Washington with view exposure toward the Olympic Mountains, Seattle skyline, and Lake Washington. Roughly 3,200 residents, no commercial corridor, heavily owner-occupied. The structural inventory is fixed: no new lots are being created, redevelopment is regulated tightly, and most parcels were built between 1955 and 2005 with significant remodel or rebuild activity in the last decade.
Pricing context by Clyde Hill submarket:
- View homes (lake, Olympics, or skyline exposure): $4M–$10M. The largest segment by transaction count above $3M. View premium runs 25–40% over comparable interior parcels.
- Interior SFH (no significant view): $2.5M–$4M. Large established lots, mature trees, Bellevue School District attendance, walkable to community parks.
- Premier west-edge view estates: $10M–$25M+. Limited supply; many transact through broker networks before ever appearing on NWMLS.
- Adjacent submarkets (Yarrow Point, Hunts Point, west Medina): $4M–$30M+. Same Bellevue SD attendance, comparable amenity profile, similar lake access via private community programs.
How I work as a Clyde Hill broker
On the listing side, Clyde Hill prep is bespoke. I won't launch a $4M+ Clyde Hill listing without professional staging calibrated to luxury buyer expectations, full cinematography and drone capturing the view exposure that drives premium pricing, a pre-launch broker preview to the relocation-buyer and tech-executive pool, and a marketing plan that includes vetted private-network placement before NWMLS publication.
On the buyer side, Clyde Hill inventory turns through agent networks more than public portals. An MLS-watching strategy will miss 20–35% of the transactions in any given year. I source through agent networks, brokerage referrals, and direct seller outreach for quietly-marketed inventory. For buyers serious about Clyde Hill, RexMont's Early-Access program opens the off-market channels that public listing portals can't replicate.
For buyers comparing Clyde Hill against Medina or West Bellevue, I'll walk you through both submarkets side-by-side — same school feed, different lot size and waterfront-access profile, different price-of-entry by 20–35%.
FAQ
Clyde Hill real estate — frequently asked questions
What is the typical price range for Clyde Hill homes?
Clyde Hill (ZIP 98004 north of NE 24th) sits in the upper tier of the Eastside luxury market. Single-family homes typically run $2.5M–$6M for interior parcels, $4M–$10M for view homes capturing Lake Washington or Olympic Mountain exposure, and $10M–$25M+ for the limited number of waterfront-adjacent estates. Days on market typically runs 20–45 for well-prepared, accurately-priced listings.
How is Clyde Hill different from Medina as a market?
Clyde Hill and Medina share the same Bellevue School District attendance and overlap on buyer profile, but the market characteristics differ. Clyde Hill lots are generally smaller (most ½ to ¾ acre vs. Medina's 1+ acre estates), price-of-entry is lower ($2.5M Clyde Hill SFH vs. $3M+ Medina SFH), and the topography produces more view homes than waterfront. Many buyers tour both markets — Clyde Hill often wins on accessibility, Medina wins on lot privacy and waterfront access.
What school district serves Clyde Hill?
Clyde Hill is served by Bellevue School District — Clyde Hill Elementary serves the youngest grades, then Chinook Middle School and Bellevue High School. The BSD attendance area is a meaningful pricing driver. The school assignment alone supports a 10–15% premium over comparable adjacent parcels in lower-rated district feeds.
Is Clyde Hill mostly on-MLS or off-market?
Clyde Hill has a higher off-market rate than typical Bellevue submarkets — roughly 20–35% of $5M+ Clyde Hill transactions never publicly list on NWMLS. Privacy preferences, buyer-pool selectivity, and broker-network sourcing drive the quiet-marketing pattern. Buyers serious about Clyde Hill need a broker with active off-market sourcing, not just MLS-watching.
What is the property tax situation in Clyde Hill?
Clyde Hill has one of the lower effective property tax rates on the Eastside — the levy code area historically produces effective rates around 0.7%–0.85% of assessed value, modestly higher than Medina's 0.55%–0.7% but still well below most of Bellevue (0.85%–1.05%) and Seattle (0.92%–1.08%). Verify current parcel data through the King County Assessor before relying on this for planning.
