Now, this is still a while away—West Seattle Light Rail service is not scheduled to begin until 2032, but this is a *huge* deal for connecting West Seattle to the rest of Seattle (and the Eastside, and beyond!).

Townhomes have been undervalued in Seattle for a few years now. However, with single-family home prices skyrocketing, we’re starting to see townhouse prices start to dramatically increase in value. From February 2021 to February 2022, townhouse prices in West Seattle have risen by 12.2%. Currently, the median price of townhouses in West Seattle is $745,000, and the median price of single-family homes in West Seattle is $1,362,000. Townhomes are not usually half the price of a house, and townhouse prices have largely been stagnant in recent years. So, now is a good time to buy a townhouse to benefit from the appreciation we’ll see as the market balances.
