In a sign that we’re running out of new construction inventory, this Saturday, March 30th, from 12 to 5pm the sales teams for Olive 8 and 1521 will be hosting their final sales events. Following the event both sales centers will be removed and the properties will be shown by appointment only. Just five homes… Read More
Sales continued to remain steady in the downtown and Capitol Hill neighborhoods last week, and we saw a slight increase in units pending in West Seattle and Wallingford. Another 1 bedroom sold at the Olive 8, (on the 32nd floor), a 2 bedroom at Hillclimb Court in Belltown, and a 1,723 sf view home at… Read More
We thought the Belltown rental we blogged about a few days ago cost a pretty penny at $6,000 a month. Here’s a new listing in the 1521 building on 2nd Ave that’s even higher…in floor number and rent. The owner of this two-bedroom condo (1723 sq ft) on the 29th floor is asking for $7,000… Read More
We love homes with great views here at urbnlivn.com and many of you do too. An alert reader pointed out that some of those views could vanish if yesterday’s front page Seattle Times story pans out. The article notes that a wave of new hotels is planned for Downtown Seattle. So, we decided to check… Read More
I notice there are two new listings at 1521 this week, #1000 for $1,445,000 and #2501 for $1,830,000, which appears to bring the total to 9 homes currently available (although, their website says 10). The view certainly is spectacular from the 25th floor – from Smith Tower to the Space Needle and every snow-topped Cascade… Read More

Originally bought for $5m. The previous buyer only financed $2.5 million at purchase, followed by another $500k loan a few months… Read More
Only 10 condos and townhouses sold last week in Seattle; however, there are a couple of resales to peruse. 1610 Belmont Ave #210 Listed on Dec 1, this 670 sf, 1-bedroom condo at the Press went pending in four days and closed last week for $252K. That was quick :). 1521 2nd Ave #1101 A… Read More
The last time we checked in on new construction condo inventory was back in July, and before that in May. In May inventory looked to be 75% sold, then the needle shifted to 77% in July, and now the properties tracked in this list are 81% sold in all. As for what’s gone down the… Read More
After recently clicking on an updated listing for 1521 Second Avenue, I rubbed my eyes and squinted at the screen and still the asking price on #1202 showed itself to have a sub-$1M price tag — $945K to be exact. For those not familiar with 1521, the downtown luxury condominium has a track record of… Read More
Seattle had 35 closed sales in condos and townhouses last week.

Just over two months ago, I did a roundup of new construction condo inventory in Seattle. It seems about time to check in and see where things stand now. Last time I said that inventory was 69% sold overall; however, I missed a few properties in my roundup. So after adding those in (including several… Read More
31 condos and townhouses sold last week in Seattle including a run of four at Escala and two notable resales on/near Capitol Hill. Escala (1920 4th Ave) I’d like to speculate that the four sales closed last week at Escala were partly due to new owners wanting a perch from which to watch the Pride… Read More
Last week Geekwire profiled CondoInternet.net, a growing branch of Spectrum Networks that is bringing high speed Internet to condos and apartments in Seattle. CondoInternet’s service is not just high speed — it is being coined as “super broadband” because it has a minimum speed of 100 Mbps, with some services allowing surging up to 500… Read More
When new construction condos went all gangbusters a couple weeks back and closed nearly half of the condo and townhouse sales that week, it seemed like a good time to do an inventory round-up to see what’s left to buy in Seattle. And when you think about remaining inventory, you can’t help but think about… Read More
123 condos and townhouses are at this moment preparing to open their house to you this weekend. And so is the luxury condominium, 1521, who is welcoming curious buyers to tour a selection of the remaining 20% of their inventory that is for sale from 12-4PM on Saturday and Sunday. 76 Cedar #1211 Sunday, 1-4PM… Read More
Of the 26 condos and townhouses that closed last week, there was nearly an equal split between new construction sales and resales. I don’t specifically measure the ratio each week but as I scrolled through the list, it struck me that it seems like a higher ratio of new construction than usual. New Construction The… Read More
Last week, 40 sales of condos and townhouses closed in Seattle. I must say, it’s nice to see new construction condo sales monopolizing this list today. The luxury condominiums of 1521 and 200 West Highland closed two sales apiece last week. 200 West Highland is pretty much sold out with one final condo pending, while… Read More
Was it just last week that we noted 1521 closed two sales and were sitting somewhere around 78% sold?

If you count the pending sales, that brings the building to 80% sold… Read More
