Median sales prices have jumped up in Kent. After seven sales in June all below $600,000, the purchase of higher priced, but fewer, homes was in evidence in the last two months of summer. According to InfoSparks statistics Kent attained the highest median price in the last twenty years of $753,000 in July. This result was in part due to the sale of antique homes in excellent condition. The market bifurcation pricing gap in available homes for sale continues to exist. Of the eleven single family homes listed for sale only five are below $600,000 and the remaining six are above $1.2 million.
