February 19, 2026 - 04:35
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has placed a secondary residence in Medina, Washington, on the market with an asking price of $4.8 million. This move comes just a year after the billionaire publicly stated he had no plans to reduce his substantial real estate footprint in the Pacific Northwest.
The listed property is a 2,780-square-foot home featuring four bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. While details on the specific amenities are limited, the listing represents a notable shift in Gates's approach to his personal holdings. The decision to sell this particular asset suggests a strategic reassessment of his extensive property portfolio.
The sale is being closely watched by real estate observers, given Gates's status and his previous comments about maintaining his local investments. The high-value listing in the exclusive Medina area is expected to attract significant interest, though the ultimate impact on his broader real estate strategy remains to be seen. This transaction highlights how even the most steadfast plans can evolve, reflecting changes in personal priorities or investment focus.
