What the numbers mean for a buyer or seller
The median owner-reported home value in Vashon is $717,700.
That is 12% below the King County median of $811,200. Median household income is $115,750, 5% below the county's $122,148.
Vashon is almost entirely detached houses - 85.9% of the housing stock - with only 8% in buildings of two or more units. Attached and multi-unit homes of any kind are a small minority of what has been built here.
81.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, which is a high ownership rate and usually means low turnover and tightly held inventory.
Half of Vashon's homes were built in 1974 or earlier, so a large share predates modern energy codes - worth leaving time in the inspection for the roof, the electrical, and the plumbing.
