Cougar Mountain / Lakemont, once a week.
The Bellevue Dispatch is a free Thursday-morning email for people who live in Cougar Mountain / Lakemont. Five minutes. What's changing on your streets, what's being built nearby, and the homes that just sold within a few blocks of you.
Hillside streets above Lewis Creek Park with trailheads into the Cougar Mountain Regional Wildland Park.
What the city decided
Council votes, construction that changes your commute, openings and closings, school district news. The things you would hear at the bus stop if you had time to stand at the bus stop.
One block for where you live
Somerset readers get Somerset. Lake Hills readers get Lake Hills. A permit, a park project, a road change, and the homes that just sold within a few blocks of you.
Three numbers, one sentence
Median sold price, days to sell, months of inventory. What they mean this month for someone who owns here or wants to. No hype.
Written in Bellevue, by people who live here.
Published by RexMont Real Estate, the Eastside's most-reviewed brokerage. The council agenda, the permit bulletin, the school district blog and the transit notices get read so you don't have to. One reader, one city, no hype.
Questions people ask
Is this a real estate newsletter?
No. It is a Bellevue newsletter that happens to know the housing market. Three of the four sections are about living here. The fourth tells you what homes are selling for, because in Bellevue that is news too.
Why does a brokerage publish it?
RexMont Real Estate has worked in these neighborhoods for years and nobody was writing about them at the neighborhood level. The newsletter is free. If you ever want to talk about selling or buying, you will know where to find us. That is the whole arrangement.
What happens with my address?
It is used for one thing: a monthly estimate of what your home would sell for today, inside your neighborhood block. It is never sold, shared, or posted. Remove it any time by replying to any issue.
