Modular Housing + a Lender Owned at Bay Vista

September 2nd, 2008 · 10 Comments

Inhabit Modular House

Inhabit has put their modular home up for sale. It’s two units which combined make 1,155 square feet.

Land not included so you’re going to need a place to put this. I’m assuming shipping is also not included?

Bay Vista Tower

There is a double unit for sale at Bay Vista Tower which is lender owned, #1102.

For $2 million you get 2600 square feet. Not exactly a bargain at $767/square foot.

Now, surprisingly, I have actually toured this unit. I toured it probably a year and a half ago in all it’s interior decorated glory. In the few photos posted it looks like all the pizazz that made it completely over the top is now gone. However, this unit does boast killer views of the Space Needle, the waterfront, Mount Baker, etc. It’s got a few decks, a completely marble bathroom (yuck), and practically no kitchen to speak of (apparently the guys who renovated the place did not like to cook.) The five photos posted likely do not do this place justice so if you’re looking for a large place be sure to check it out.

    Who would pay $800 a sq ft for a condo in a 25 year old building with an ugly remodel and sold ‘as-is’, without warranties or representations of any kind?

    Is this what a foreclosure looks like?

    300k for two glorified shipping containers and no land? Seriously?

    Neither of the listing will sell anywhere near the asking prices. Period. Comical and deplorable the sellers would think of asking those prices.

    Don’t forget it’s 1.80/sq ft/month in HOD!!

    Bay Vista is actually one of the better buildings in Seattle. Not a ton of turnover and stellar views (for now) Unfortunately, I think that it’s glory days are over.

    There’s also a Bank Owned (US Bank N A) property in Cristalla. Unit 1908.

    WRT the shipping containers. What’s the deal with that? Are we supposed to buy some land out in Puyallup and plop them down there?

    Finally…what’s the deal with that new condotel that just came on the market today next to Madison Tower/Hotel 1000? From the pictures it looks like the xx04 and the xx00 units are going to have a building closer than the one built next to the Cosmopolitan. Didn’t they have “air rights”?

    OUCH…just looked at the Bay Vista pics. I’m gonna have nightmares now. Was the interior designer blind?

    What’s the MLS # for that condo tel?

    Here’s the Redfin listing Matt.

    http://www.redfin.com/WA/Seattle/1012-1st-Ave-98104/unit-3001/home/17246256

    BTW…I’m finding better deals in San Fran & all over So Cal for high end condos than I’m seeing here in Seattle.

    These developers up here should get on the ball if they want to actually sell their wares.

    chris - where in the world are you getting 1.80/sq ft?

    the dues are 55 cents/sq ft - which is about standard

    Heh, I’m not sure what I did there, but you’re right.
