Hot off the wire, Trinity Real Estate Breaks Ground on The Residences at Fairview. Executives at Trinity Real Estate announced today the official ground breaking of The Residences at Fairview – a 21-unit, high-end attached residential development on the eastern shore of Lake Union. With construction lending by Sound Community Bank, the project is likely… 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

Isola Homes’ latest townhouse project, Eastlake6, is gearing up for its grand debut! UrbnLivn took you through a pre-construction photo tour of Eastlake6 in November, and now we are ready for an update! The complex of 4-star Built Green homes includes six brand new units, all boasting smart, modern designs with stunning views of… Read More
Sustainable and modern home builders Isola Homes are hard at work on their newest townhomes at Eastlake6. This six-unit cluster of homes is located at 2215 Boylston Ave East, in the heart of the Eastlake neighborhood. The homes are still being constructed, with completion expected in mid-January 2013 and move-ins to begin as early as… Read More
Last week we enjoyed the last bit of sunshine we’ll see in what seems like an eternity, and when the rain started to come down, those headed indoors to close on their home sales seemed to be flocking to the Capitol Hill and Downtown neighborhoods. Last week there were 32 sales, including two units in… Read More
Last week there were 37 sales that went pending around the Greater Puget Sound, with a majority of sales in the Queen Anne & Downtown neighborhoods, including a 2 bedroom 37th floor unit at the Olive 8, a Market Place North Condo, and a 2 bedroom in the Grand Pacific. Nine of those units were… Read More
We hate to say it, Seattle, but it looks like summer is more or less coming to a close. On the bright side, there are a wealth of events going on for design aficionados including the fabulous Seattle Design Festival running through this weekend, and the first-ever Seattle Modern Home Tours happening next Saturday. We… Read More
While some of us are still nursing a slight sunshine hangover from the labor day festivities, others took the opportunity of the long weekend off to close on 62 homes last week! Three units in Escala sold (the 11th floor unit actually went pending the same day it was listed), and 2 in the Marselle… Read More
Can’t wait for the Enclave? Check out 2301 Fairview Ave E just down the way on the same side of Lake Union. 30′ moorage with power, outdoor lake front pool, two-story living area, rooftop deck, the list goes on. At nearly $2m you probably won’t notice the $1,099/month HOA dues :).
Reader Phil urged us to reconsider Eastlake Lofts Unit #205: When Katrina posted about this southeast corner concrete and steel loft last September, they were asking $330k. That has been dropped to $300k (short sale) and I see no mention of a special assessment that was a concern before. HOA Dues are a reasonable $379…. Read More
Design Northwest sent over photos of a project they recently completed, a brand spanking new float home on Lake Union. Looks pretty sweet. We’ve got more photos, and the full details here, or here’s the quick overview: The float was constructed in Vancouver, BC, and all structural connections had to be located beforehand. The float… Read More
Big thanks to our friend Chad for taking us to go see 2930/2914 Harvard Ave E today. It caught our eye earlier in the week. Which is funny since it has been on the market for two months! But the front photo just isn’t that impressive. But once you dive in it is a mid-century… Read More
Eastlake basically became dead to me when the restaurant Nettletown closed its doors. Maybe its replacement will be just as good (what is the news on Blind Pig Bistro these days?) which would be a definite plus if you were to buy this sweet Eastlake Loft that was listed late last week for $330K. That’s… Read More
Yesterday, The Tim at Seattle Bubble examined the curb appeal for Seattle’s townhomes and he was able to come across only a few bright moments in a sea of yuck. I have to wonder what he would say about today’s new listing in Eastlake with its self-proclaimed “MTV Cribs” appeal? My reaction is mixed. Thumbs… Read More
Pickings are slim on this long holiday weekend — there are only 45 condos and townhouses that are advertising open houses on Redfin. As on most holiday weekends, it is often a good idea to call ahead to verify the open house is happening. Following are two recently listed condos that you might want to… Read More
I mentally couch this group of properties as “the ones that are coming off the bench” since they’ve re-entered the fray in the past couple months. Latest updates follow: Realogics has already accepted two reservation agreements for The Sanctuary since their July 7 announcement. The 12 townhouse project is still expected to be back on… Read More
I was about to say there weren’t any closed sales in new construction condos last week but then I refreshed my Redfin query at noon. One popped up for Downtown’s Escala (#606 for $410K) and also the Dakota over in West Seattle (#410 for $390K). In total, there were 23 condo and townhouse sales closed… Read More
As expected on the weekend leading up to July 4th, a low amount of condo and townhouse open houses are being offered in Seattle. Of the 60 open houses, only 3 are newly listed resales from this past week and nearly half are new construction. So if you are staying in the city, you can… Read More
The Enclave is back on the market after being taken off last November. If you’ll recall, Enclave briefly opened its sales center in Aug 2010. The 3 townhouse units that were just listed start at $1.4M for 2-bedrooms, 2.5 baths and go as high as $3.4M for 3-bedrooms, 3.5 baths. They offer a location right… Read More
