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:
