First up is unit #512 at 303 Pike St which is a nicely upgraded unit at the Pike Lofts.

Priced at $349k for a 1 bed 796 square foot unit. If you like Pike Lofts and want a large outdoor patio check out unit #309 that just came on the market at $328k which has had some bath and kitchen improvements too.

Townhouses on 14th

I like the look of these Pb Elemental designed townhouses at 14th and Spring. Great location and views, just a little pricey for my taste (not that I could sell if I wanted to!)

This one is $595k for 1,730 square feet. Find out more at Urban View Homes.

80 S Jackson Loft

I have a soft spot for 1,000+ square foot 0/1 bedroom lofts… So check out 80 S Jackson unit #205. 1,100 square feet for $379k. Last sold in March ‘05 for $320k:

Contemporary Queen Anne Townhome

If you’re looking for something less gritty there is this $1.115m townhome in Queen Anne at 423 Ward St. 2,100 square feet… Last sold in late ‘05 for $910k.

Pricey Upper Floor at Cristala

This one caught my eye because I couldn’t believe someone would ask $625k for a 773 square foot unit. But it is at Cristalla. Last sold in fall ‘06 for $689k and originally bought in ‘05 for $535k.

Here’s a $250k unit in a building I like on Capitol Hill. It’s at 615 E Pike:

Looking at the interior photos its got some funky bed on top of a bookshelf sleeping loft thing going on:

And it drives me nuts when listing agents don’t put in the square footage.

Across the state, employees in King County were the highest paid, with an average wage of $1,043 per week. Okanogan County workers were the lowest paid, at an average of $425 per week.

Which won’t quite buy you a re-sale at 2200. Unless you work in the ‘information’ category ‘which pays an average of $2,299 per week.’

Wondering how we will support all this inventory? Seattle Met Blogs has an immigration chart that says we’ve added 219,000 people since 2000.

2200

32 units and 1 lawsuit.

Cosmo

30 units now available. A reader who tracks things a little more closely has this to say about one of the units:

One of the FSBO studios…20th floor (#2008 I’m assuming) Has dropped from 325k to 299k to 279k within the last 2 weeks. Agent owned (Williams Marketing)…listed on CL as an “Investment Opportunity”.

Expo 62

No units on the MLS but a reader had this to say about the sales center:

Has anyone been to their sales center? I don’t know who is responsible for this mess but it needs to be stopped. It’s laughable. Have you seen the outside? It’s got all these strange 50’s swinger quotes (uh, Expo 62 means 1962, not the fifties) in conversation bubbles painted on the side and it looks like a McDonalds. I’d be embarrassed to live there.

Pike Lofts

5 units are available in this 1998 61 unit building. All around $400k and 775 square feet.

Press Condos

Someone left a comment about Press:

Well, A friend of mine just passed on a unit at press. HIs inspection revealed many unpleasant things. used appliances – tehre was lint under the washer and dryer, a hammered whole in the back of one of the kitchen cabinets, but the worse was a window with no flashing which frame was separated from the bulding wall.

Seaboard

Another neat unit hit the market this week, 1500 4th Ave #805. For $365,000 you get 710 square feet on the 8th floor in a converted 1910 landmark building. Taxes are only $180/year! Read more about it from Andy in the forums.

Market Place North
For the big spender there is 2021 1st Ave #A4. Only $1,250,000 for 1,341 square feet. I like the view but the interior is a little over the top.

One Pacific Tower

If Market Place North stretches your budget too much check out the views at 2000 1st Ave #1001. At $899,000 it’s $100,000 less than the owner paid in 1999 which strikes me as a little bit odd. It also needs to be staged…

2200

900 Lenora St #W-309: $30k reduction to $489,000. This listing needs some photos. Have I mentioned that before?

220 Westlake Ave #S503: $10k reduction to $549,990.

There were also some more new listings, check out all 28.
