Realogics Sotheby’s takes exclusive Suncadia listings as village opening nears

By AI, Created 5:00 PM UTC, May 21, 2026, /AGP/ – Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty has become the exclusive representative for select homes and homesites in Suncadia, including properties tied to the new Suncadia Social village. The move comes ahead of a June 19-21 grand opening and underscores how the 6,400-acre resort is shifting toward year-round, lower-maintenance living near the Seattle-Bellevue market.

Why it matters: - The Suncadia listing push adds new inventory to a resort community that is evolving into a full-time residential market, not just a vacation destination. - The new homes and homesites give buyers more ways to enter the community, from turnkey rowhomes and bungalows to custom-build lots. - The village opening could increase attention on Cle Elum and Upper Kittitas County as commuting access improves over Snoqualmie Pass.

What happened: - Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty announced exclusive representation of select residential properties in the Suncadia master-planned community. - The listings include The Residences at Suncadia Social, with Bungalow #24 at 21 Riverbend Loop priced at $1,680,000 and Rowhome #41 at 105 Riverbend Loop priced at $1,065,000. - RSIR also plans to market select inventory in Nelson Lakes, including finished single-family homesites with access to preferred builders for custom-home opportunities. - Katlin Lee, a Global Real Estate Advisor with RSIR and a part-time Suncadia resident, is representing the listings. - Suncadia Social’s grand opening is scheduled for June 19-21.

The details: - Suncadia Social is positioned as the commercial heart of the resort and will include residential living, curated retail, dining and community gathering spaces. - The Residences at Suncadia Social are being built by NW Roots Construction. - NW Roots Construction was voted “Best Builder/Developer” in the Seattle Agent Magazine 2026 Agent’s Choice Awards. - The homes are designed for mountain-modern, lower-maintenance living with front porches facing a pedestrian walkway and access to open space. - RSIR says the housing mix reflects buyer interest in “lock-and-leave” ownership while still offering resort amenities and outdoor recreation. - The Suncadia Property Management ecosystem is expected to support rental income for some buyers. - Dean Jones, RSIR’s president and CEO, said the opportunity includes fully furnished homes, turnkey property management and supplemental revenue. - Mark Thorne, managing director of Suncadia Resort, said the village will give homeowners more convenience, connectivity and community than previously existed at the resort. - Nelson Lakes will add custom-home opportunities, along with community amenities that include a pool and playground. - Suncadia spans 6,400 acres and sits about 80 miles east of Seattle. - The resort says it receives nearly 200 days of sunshine a year. - Suncadia’s broader amenities include guest suites and penthouses, rental homes, dining, a day spa, wellness programming, indoor and outdoor pools, two championship golf courses and a conference facility. - Tumble Creek, Suncadia’s 2,600-acre enclave, includes homes and homesites plus a private Tom Doak golf course, clubhouse, pool and fitness facilities. - The company links improved access to the Washington State Department of Transportation’s I-90 Snoqualmie Pass expansion. - Lee said the drive from the Westside is “easy” and “seamless.” - RSIR plans to use its network to target feeder markets and promote relative value and access compared with other mountain villages.

Between the lines: - The announcement signals a broader bet that Suncadia can capture both primary-home buyers and investors who want resort amenities without the burden of a traditional second home. - The marketing language around commuting and access suggests RSIR sees the Seattle-Bellevue metro area as a key demand base. - The comparison to Squamish, BC is meant to frame Suncadia as a place that could gain from infrastructure-led growth over time, though that outcome is not guaranteed.

What’s next: - Suncadia Social is expected to open with retail and hospitality partners operational during the June 19-21 celebration. - RSIR said interested buyers can request private tours through Katlin Lee. - Continued progress on the I-90 Snoqualmie Pass expansion could further improve the resort’s appeal to Westside buyers and year-round residents. - More inventory at Suncadia and Nelson Lakes may follow as the village launch draws attention to the community.
