We’ve noted Escala’s seemingly bullish view of the Seattle condo market as the luxury downtown development repeatedly bumped up its list prices. Those escalating price points do not seem to be hurting sales. Unit #2308 closed on Monday at $1,049,000 after four price hikes. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo on the 23rd floor was first listed… Read More
Fresh off yesterday’s news that Seattle home prices rose 10% in the past year, per the Case-Shiller index, I expected to see some that increase reflected in the recent transactions. But Seattle condo sales from the past week proved again you can’t project a major survey onto one unit (especially since the Case-Shiller index doesn’t… Read More
A two-bedroom condo on the 31st floor of the Olive 8 closed for $1.1 million yesterday, one of 38 condos sold in Seattle in the past week. The Olive 8 deal is interesting, not just because it was the highest-priced unit in the bunch, but because it sold at a pretty lofty price just a… Read More
A 25 on the Park townhouse just closed for $439,000. That means the 880-sq ft home facing Cal Anderson Park fetched $500/sq ft. It’s interesting to see that kind of valuation…again. While the 500-mark is still below some of the eye-popping numbers we saw at the height of the Seattle housing boom in 2007, it… Read More

It is slightly later in the day than I usually query for last week’s sales but I’ll do it anyway: 27 condos and townhouses sold in Seattle. Escala represented yet again for new construction condos by selling a 1 bedroom (#1409 for 426K), and then there were a few notable resales. 530 Broadway Ave #126… Read More
In what is now apparently a bi-monthly check-in, looks like Seattle saw 29 condos and townhouses sell last week (and about 29 the week prior of which the only sale of note was a unit at Hjarta). In the past week, more new construction condos sold in the form of two at Escala (#1505 for… Read More
I didn’t do a roundup last week and I probably should have because Seattle is putting on some stronger numbers than I’ve seen in a while: 40 condos and townhouses sold last week and 46 the week prior. Not bad, not bad. Besides the continued inventory sell down in new construction, there were notable resales… Read More
Wow, what a weekend. I hope you take the time to get your fill of the shiny, new condo project at Sanctuary because that is likely to be the only one we see this year. Drink it in (we sure are). In other news, only 13 condos and townhouses sold last week. Notables include: Escala… Read More

Only 10 condos and townhouses sold last week in Seattle; however, there are a couple of resales to peruse. 1610 Belmont Ave #210 Listed on Dec 1, this 670 sf, 1-bedroom condo at the Press went pending in four days and closed last week for $252K. That was quick :). 1521 2nd Ave #1101 A… Read More

20 condos and townhouses sold last week in Seattle. In new construction condos, one unit sold at Decatur (#912 for just under $223K) and then there’s a few others of note. 3056 24th Ave W Someone must have walked in with a suitcase of cash because this Magnolia townhouse was listed on Dec 7 for… Read More
The slight spike of closed sales at the end of the month happened again last week with 37 condos and townhouses sold. In new construction condos, that meant three units moved at Escala and three at Olive 8. In fact, the highest-priced sale of the week was at Olive 8: #3600 for $1.15M. New construction… Read More
Seattle saw 13 closed sales in the condo and townhouse markets last week.

There were 23 condos and townhouses that sold last week. Five of those were developer-owned, new construction condos and we really should take a closer look at that action. It is starting to look like a parade of sold out. Matt posted yesterday that the last unit at Trace North is finally closed bringing the… Read More
In Seattle, 19 condos and townhouses sold last week. Most notably, developer-owned units at Escala and Danielle moved, as did a resale at Anhalt’s Belmont Court.
