Inside Jordan Morris's $4M Kirkland sale

Seattle Sounders forward Jordan Morris has sold his Kirkland home at 1421 Fourth Drive for $4 million, according to a report by the Puget Sound Business Journal. Windermere broker Max Rombakh said the property was sold in about eight hours, adding that some interested buyers were unable to move quickly enough.

Morris bought the residence in 2023 for $3.5 million, the same year it was built. The home spans 4,500 square feet on a 0.2-acre lot and includes 10-foot ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, a high-end kitchen, a putting green, a covered patio with skylights, an outdoor infrared heater and a fireplace. The site has parking capacity for seven vehicles.

The buyers were not identified. Morris, 31, is the Sounders' all-time leading scorer with 93 goals and has been with the club since 2016. He signed a contract in 2023 that runs through 2027 and is worth roughly $2.3 million per year, according to the report.

Kirkland sits about two miles north of Hunts Point, which has recorded some of Washington's most expensive residential transactions this year. Those recent high-end sales include a waterfront Hunts Point property once owned by Kenny G that sold in the spring for $38 million, a $28 million sale on Mercer Island and a $23.5 million waterfront home on Orcas Island.

What an eight-hour luxury sale reveals about demand near Hunts Point

Based on the reported sale price and home size, the transaction works out to about $889 per square foot. That should be treated as one luxury comparison point rather than a broad repricing of the Eastside market, but it fits with strong demand for recently built, high-finish properties near Hunts Point.

Kirkland's pricing signal

The eight-hour timeline and the broker's account of buyers who 'didn't get there fast enough' indicate demand was present at the reported level. The $500,000 gross gap between the 2023 purchase price and the reported 2026 sale price does not establish a clean investment gain because selling costs, possible improvements and final closing terms were not disclosed.

Why one transaction does not define the Eastside market

Prominent-owner sales can move quickly for reasons unrelated to the wider market, and the buyer's identity has not been disclosed. The sale is most useful as a specific data point for a 2023-built Kirkland home with premium outdoor amenities; it should not be read as proof that every luxury Eastside listing will clear within hours.

Morris's contract and the sale

No reported contract uncertainty appears to be linked to the home sale. Morris remains under a Major League Soccer contract through 2027 worth roughly $2.3 million per year, and no transfer or relocation was noted. His athletic contract and his residential sale should be read as separate items.
