How Burien buyers reach closing in Burien.
Burien is one of King County’s most accessible entry points — a suburban city with 5.5 miles of Puget Sound shoreline, 10 miles from downtown Seattle, with prices structurally below Bellevue and Redmond; the Town Square redevelopment cemented its identity as a walkable, transit-accessible community for buyers priced out of the Seattle core.
That Burien market shapes the loan. King County counts as high-cost, so Burien buyers get a $1,063,750 one-unit ceiling on 2026 Burien purchases. Plenty of Burien purchases cross that $1,063,750 threshold, so the right high-balance or jumbo structure is routine Burien work for us. Limits per FHFA 2026; verify your scenario with us.
49,000-plus residents make Burien home — across Olde Burien, Seahurst, and between — with Renton and Seattle nearby. Seahurst Park on Puget Sound to the Burien line — that’s ground we know well.
