What the numbers mean for a buyer or seller
The median owner-reported home value in Lake Forest Park is $928,700.
That is 14% above the King County median of $811,200. Median household income is $158,868, 30% above the county's $122,148.
Detached houses make up 79.6% of homes in Lake Forest Park, with 17.1% in multi-unit buildings and 3.3% attached single-family. The stock leans to houses without being exclusively houses.
80.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, which is a high ownership rate and usually means low turnover and tightly held inventory.
Half of Lake Forest Park's homes were built in 1968 or earlier, so a large share predates modern energy codes - worth leaving time in the inspection for the roof, the electrical, and the plumbing.
