Most Popular Listing

May 18th, 2009 · Comments

I’m getting bored of writing these most popular listing blog posts. I thought they’d turn up some interesting finds but turns out that’s not the case!
This week’s most popular listing is 606 E Thomas St Unit N. $166,900 for 500 square feet but no parking. Looks funky to say the least!

Personally I’m rooting for 1119 [...]

MLS Watch: Multi-level Places Downtown

February 23rd, 2009 · Comments

Millennium Tower
You’d never guess that Millennium Tower, just across the streets from Redfin HQ , would have condos atop of it. Another (there’s already a few units on the market from $1.2 million to $8 million) just came on the market today for $4.6 million. It last sold in spring of ‘07 for $3.9 million. [...]

January Appears To Be Off To A Good Start

January 16th, 2009 · Comments

Last night I looked through the probably hundred or so condos that came on the market in the last two weeks. Nothing really new or exciting. Most looked to be ones that went off the market just before Christmas. The rest were from developments like Trace and Brix putting more inventory in the MLS. And [...]

MLS Watch – No Dogs, Price Goes Up, Price Goes Down

September 4th, 2008 · Comments

2307
2307 43rd Ave E is one of two units at this boutique condo project. Sadly for $6 million dollars (yes, $2000/square foot for a non-downtown condo) you aren’t allowed to have pets.
Bay Vista Tower
That lender owned unit dropped $100,000 in price. Still has shitty photos.
Royal Crest
After 106 days on the market 2100 3rd Ave [...]

Pb Elemental Townhome

September 2nd, 2008 · Comments

A million and a half for a townhome!?
2008 8th Ave N is a Pb Elemental townhome on Westlake.
It has nice views:

And I love the outdoor kitchen:

But the owner’s taste in floor coverings certainly needs to be questioned:

Last sale: October 27, 2006 for a million. Will they get $500,000 more two years later in a [...]

Even though the listing agent stands to gross $73,500 there are sadly no pictures yet except this exterior shot:
