I think it is safe to say that nearly six years after buying it, my Trace Lofts condo is no longer underwater! Hopefully I can say the same about the other condo I bought in 2007. (What was I thinking buying two condos are the hit of the market??) Why am I feeling confident? My… Read More
Unit 406 just hit the market Friday. Sorry, I was too busy biking and climbing to blog it up earlier :). Longtime readers know I love Monique Lofts. *Especially* the penthouse units. It is listed at $399k for 869 square foot one bedroom. Looks like it has two loft spaces? I also think I may… Read More
A sweet sweet penthouse is for rent at Monique Lofts. If you want a true loft, this is it! Unit 401 is a south-west facing unit, 1,339 square feet, 20′ ceilings. This unit last sold in 2009 for $675k in December 2009.
Word is that Trace Lofts #202 is going to go pending later tonight or tomorrow. After 3 days on the market there were 19 offers, the winning one all cash. Even I had five different people reach out to me about it. Many asking about the noise at 12th and Madison (my answer, get a… Read More
There are so many listings that boast a “spectacular view” or “breathtaking vistas” that, when you actually tour the place, turn out to be peek-a-boo views or only visible from the deck. That’s not the case for this panoramic view from a penthouse at The Highlander on Capitol Hill. Now, this two-bedroom unit on the… Read More
Our neighbor is selling her condo at Trace Lofts. Unit 202 is 663 square feet. 1 bedroom. 1 bathroom. And is priced at $299k. Perhaps we should buy it to combine with ours? :) This unit has had an interesting history: 9/17/2007 – Bought for $375,000 with a 0% down loan 11/1/2010 – Stop paying… Read More
This morning a handsome, grown-up loft (read: not tacky, half-assed design/finishes) hit the market at 615 E Pike–unit 302–for $537,500. It’s a 1,343 square-foot, 2-bed, 2.5-bath loft on two levels and it’s just a stone’s throw from several local hotspots, including the Honey Hole, Babeland and Sun Liquor. In January, Matt blogged about the neighboring unit,… Read More
Sorry for the dry spell in blogging! Took four days off unexpectedly to go skiing and then this morning had an accident on my bike involving a car. Anyhow, if you’re looking for an affordable Capitol Hill condo and like mid-century check out unit 203 at Maison Ville. If you look past the lame marketing… Read More
I wanted to blog about this two days ago when the listing popped up but it has taken this long to get over the shock. An owner at The Sanctuary on Capitol Hill is selling after just about a year of ownership, listing the two bedroom, two bath unit for $1,495,000. That figure, in and… 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
An owner at the Trace Lofts is taking another shot at selling their third floor studio. But this time, it seems they’re being much more realistic. This 697 sq ft condo sold at the height of the market in 2007 for $325,000. In 2009, the owners put the unit back on the market for $372,500…. Read More

But you still need plenty of money to have a prayer. We found this listing on Craigslist advertising a 2-3… Read More
One of the modern townhouses right by Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill just came onto the market. If the last two listings in that development are any indication, this unit will draw quite a bit of interest. The two-bedroom, 1,510 sq ft townhouse is listed for $659,000 or about $436 per square foot. A… Read More
After a three-month hiatus, the stunning penthouse at the Meridian is back on the market. The new listing features a few fresh photos and a $162,000 price drop. I wonder if that’s enough to attract a buyer this time around, given the potential threats to the unit’s main attraction… The two-bedroom, 2,189 sq. ft condo… Read More
A hot little house hit the market yesterday in North Capitol Hill. The owners are asking Seattle’s magic number, $399,950. It’s a 1,048 square foot 1970s rambler, which you’d normally expect to find in Bellevue or Mercer Island, but it looks like it’s been really nicely renovated. THE GOOD The finishes are pretty sharp for… 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
