If you’re looking for a “true loft” check out #308 at 81 Vine in Belltown. Exposed brick, 15′ ceilings, concrete floors, wood ceiling, 110 square foot lofted sleeping area (don’t hit your head!). Looks pretty sweet. $370,000 for 775 square feet (+110 square feet). Dues feel a little pricey at $422/month. Last sold in June… Read More

Through the diligent efforts of… Read More
No word yet on the specifics of the Mosler Lofts lawsuit settlement, but at least one homeowner is happy: We were asked by the HOA to hold off a bit until the ink has a chance to get “on paper” and dry, but…as an owner and representative of a lot of buyers/sellers at Mosler, I… Read More
Word is that the construction defect lawsuit at Mosler Lofts has been settled. Mosler owners, what’s the word?
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
I’ve always had a condo crush on the Mosler Lofts in Belltown, with its concrete, steel and glass facade. If I didn’t own a place, I would jump at this new rental listing. Unit #512 spans 1,126 sq. ft. with one bedroom, a den and 1.75 bathroom, plus a private 500 sq. ft. deck. As… Read More
Live/work lofts are hard to come by! Here’s one at the Trio, a condo building in north Belltown that was built in 2008. $425,000 for 1,306 square feet. It is a full height loft with one “bedroom” and a bathroom. Nice little alcove for a desk. It sold brand new in November 2009 for $378,250… Read More
As our January Condo Market Report pointed out, the median price for Seattle condos is up more than 20% compared to a year ago. But there are still reasonably-prices homes available on the market. Here are several that I think would make a pretty good home or a potential investment property. I really like this… Read More
You don’t see snazzy showers like these every day. They’ll let you shower in style, but you better not be shy in case others walk in… We saw these while browsing new listings. The first is a freestanding shower that is encased in a glass tube and located right in the bedroom. It’s one of… Read More

Two Belltown condos that last sold near the height of the real estate boom are now on the market for 35% less than their 2007 price. Both are short sales. The first is Unit #804 at The Parc at 1st Ave and Cedar St. The one-bedroom condo went for $459,000 five years ago. Today, it’s… Read More
I’m digging this loft in Belltown at 66 Bell St #306 (Belltown Lofts). 3 levels, 20′ ceilings, 500 square foot rooftop deck, custom kitchen. Feels a little pricey at $549k for 889 square feet though. They must be counting on that viaduct coming down and really improving the value. It last sold in 2004 for… Read More
Word is that Mosler Lofts owners have been hit up by their HOA for a million dollars to fund an investigation to go after construction defects. A million dollars just for the investigation! Makes the settlement at Trace Lofts seem like peanuts. Bets on whether the final bill tops the $26 million settlement at 2200?… Read More
I apologize for the delay for interesting sales post this week, but I’m just now slowly beginning to recover from the eggnog and fruitcake hangover. Last week sales were predictably slow if not stagnant. 15 sales across the board with one at Olive 8, and most in the downtown and Capitol Hill neighborhoods. Some interesting… Read More
