Updated Renton Real Estate, Newcastle Real Estate & South Bellevue Real Estate Market Statistics (As of September 15th, 2008)

Note: NWMLS implemented some Area Designation and Boundary changes in the Newcastle/Renton area to more accurately reflect the true market areas in this section of Bellevue/Renton. The boundary changes took effect on June 24th, 2008.
