Census and NOAA figures for the community of Hobart in King County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the community of Hobart was built in 1985, newer than the U.S. median of 1980 and about the same as the Washington median of 1985. That is in line with the King County median of 1983.1 Hobart's housing is newer than the national mix: 39% of units predate 1980 against 50% nationally, and 4% date from 2010 or later. The largest single share, 40%, dates from 1980-1999. That makes it an older stock than King County as a whole (46% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1980s and 1990s, polybutylene supply lines, builder-grade windows and first-generation openers are the usual items a contractor confirms before quoting. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Hobart are of similar age: median build years 1985 and 1987.1
Housing in Hobart is mostly detached single-family: 96% of units, with 0% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. Home ownership is the norm in Hobart: 95% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, above the Washington share of 64%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Hobart is valued at $950,300 (ACS), above the Washington median of $564,600. Within King County the median is $859,900, so Hobart sits above it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
