According to Zillow, in August 2024, the Seattle-area rental market exhibited mixed trends, with some cities experiencing sharp rent increases while others saw notable declines. Mercer Island led with a 29% increase, driven by high demand and limited supply, while Sammamish and Issaquah also saw double-digit growth. Conversely, cities like Newcastle and Kirkland faced significant declines, with rents dropping by 7.11% and 5.95% respectively. Seattle itself saw a slight decrease of 0.13%, suggesting a stabilization after previous years of sharp growth, possibly due to an increase in available units and shifting demand.                                                                                                                                                                                              Â
