The local figures answer the first question: Bellevue, WA's current ACS housing baseline includes 66,021 total housing units, 61,977 occupied units, and 4,044 vacant units. For the decision at hand, those counts can still help a borrower establish the scale of the measured housing base before comparing tenure, rent, current listings, property condition, and financing. The figures describe stock across the survey period; they do not say that 4,044 homes were listed for sale or available to rent at one moment. In practical terms, reading 66,021 total units with 61,977 occupied and 4,044 vacant units keeps the release internally grounded while leaving live availability to current listing and property evidence.

Bellevue, WA's ACS median gross rent is $2,572, while renter-occupied units account for 48.0% of occupied housing and owner-occupied units account for 52.0%.
