urbnlivn, a seattle condo blog

I just checked in on the Mosler blog to find out what’s going on there and I’m sorry to read that there are delays at Mosler, Ribbon Cutting for new Closing Dates! Though I think it’s odd to have a party one day and then announce the delays the next.

OK, its a funny post title […]

The new construction market seems to have really cooled off during this holiday season. Fortunately we have MLS watch to generate at least a few posts a week here :).
Three19 is trying a little reverse psychology. See their units aren’t selling so they’re now raising the price an additional $30,100. Interesting. Let’s see if it […]

I haven’t picked up a Seattle Sunday Times recently but I did this weekend and was surprised just few ads there were. The marketing firms are really dialing back their spending on Sunday paper advertising. I’m curious to know if they are advertising elsewhere (one of these days they’ll catch on to Google ads as […]

What’s going on in the Seattle Sunday Times? Well I feel like lots of projects that are advertising are a little desparate. There definitely are some deals to be had with no homeowners, mortgage paid for 3-6 months, buyer bonuses, etc. I also feel like there are a lot of projects that are not in […]

It’s been a few weeks since I last picked up a weekend Seattle Times to check out the ads. Here’s what the ads are saying this week:

Asia: ‘75% sold’
Bagley Lofts: Hurry! Selling Fast! (How long has Bagley been on the market now?)
Bolero: ‘70% sold in 8 weeks’
Epic: ‘$0 […]
