Reader Phil urged us to reconsider Eastlake Lofts Unit #205: When Katrina posted about this southeast corner concrete and steel loft last September, they were asking $330k. That has been dropped to $300k (short sale) and I see no mention of a special assessment that was a concern before. HOA Dues are a reasonable $379…. Read More
Wow, this mid-century modern in Seward Park at 5185 S Spencer St is a massive 6,320 square feet! 5 beds. 5.25 baths. 4 fireplaces. I don’t know what I’d do with all that space. I don’t think I have nearly enough ski and bike gear to fill the place :).
Here’s a guest post from Sergey Petrov of Yalnes, a condo management firm and Urbnlivn advertiser. Do you ever wonder why Community Associations (and/or management companies) send everything by mail? It seems just about everybody is on email these days… Unfortunately, legislation has not yet quite caught up with modern technology and official / formal… Read More

Here’s a guest post from Phil our Queen Anne correspondent :). There seems to be quite a few projects in the works around Seattle Center that I’ve missed. Also that new building at 100 Republican is coming along nicely and they are already installing the windows. Elliott Bayview Apartments looks like it will be a… Read More
A reader asked us about modern eco home builders and short of Pb Elemental I don’t really have list of others handy. Help us compile a list! I’m looking for a very easy to maintain, zero lot line stand alone home on a very small plot. In Wallingford / East Lake. Eco heated floors, tankless… Read More
A new time reader wrote in with a question I couldn’t answer. Anyone know of any condo investor groups? Or just a group that talks about investment strategy? I am wondering if there is a group of folks that meets to discuss investment options from time to time? I understand there aren’t any new condo… Read More
Last August someone bought unit 600 at Art Stable, the Kundig designed building in South Lake Union, for $1,565,000. Today it hit the market, still as a shell, at $1.3m. Ouch! While someone got in over their heads, you can get a good deal. We toured the building about a year ago, here’s our photos… Read More
314 Aloha St on Queen Anne has potential at $399k (short sale) for 1,910 square feet, 2 beds, 1 bath. To get it looking good I’d start with removing the wood railing from the balcony and install glass. And would definitely remove that fireplace! Yikes.
7′ windows, 12′ ceilings… This corner unit at the Portofino sounds nice but the pictures leave a lot to be desired! So it might be a 514 square foot diamond in the rough for $155k or it might just be as pictured.

For all of those searching for your next place on Redfin, you can now search by HOA dues! I was going to highlight all the places with ridiculous HOA dues but it only lets you filter on max, not min, dues :).
Wow, I’d move to Washington Park for this. 1101 McGilvra Blvd E was designed by Roland Terry and originally built in the ’50s. Listing description says this is the first time it has been on the market and it is debuting with an equally stunning price tag of $3.3m. What that gets you is 5,150… Read More
Loyal reader Phil gave us a heads up about 105 W Highland Dr #700 in Queen Anne that just hit the market for $2.2m. That’ll buy the whole floor, all 2,140 square feet, of a 5 unit building. Plus it comes with a “man cave”, aka garage. For those looking to pay nearly double in… Read More
