Unit #310 at Bellora is sporting the largest mirror I’ve seen in a downtown condo:

Are both these lofts in the same building?

While there a normally a few price reductions every day in my condo search area I’ve noticed one or two price increases and decided to go back through the last two weeks of Redfin updates I’ve received and found this has in fact been a trend:

80 S Jackson #204 looks like a sweet 2000 square foot loft in Pioneer Square. However, it needs a new kitchen and updated bathroom. At $679,000 it’s a low $347/square foot.

Neighboring unit, #204 is still available (though pricey at $580/square foot.)

In Fremont they’ll do anything to sell a townhouse (via Red Forums, Creepy or Clever):

Bonus Link: Big hotel planned on site of Greyhound bus station. Sucks to live on the west side of Capitol Hill and lose your view to a 51 story, 1200 unit building. But don’t worry, you have six years to sell.

19th Ave Lofts
#203 is available for $390,000. But I think the kitchen needs updating (if I were to update it I’d push it back under the sleeping loft to open up more of the living room):

#311 also just came on the market for $475,000 for 983 square feet and two parking spots. Compare and contrast […]

1700 Bellevue Ave #302 was price reduced one dollar to $349,949 today.
Shame on you George F. Lamson the IIIrd from John L Scott and shame on me for giving your listing more attention then it deserves. Personally I’d add more photos to the listing before doing trivial price reductions but what do I know.

Why hasn’t anyone bought 1515 Fairview Ave E yet? For $125,000 you get a 400 square foot apartment PLUS a boathouse:

Showing by appt. only. Think of the possibility in this boathouse built by Boeing for experimental jetfoil watercraft. Heavily engineered in the Boeing tradition with 6×6 and 4×10 timber framing and pontoons of the very […]
