A nice-looking loft at Veer just popped up. It’s 1,069 square feet, 1-bed, 1-bath and is listed for $365,000. The homeowner’s dues are $446/mo. The current owner bought the place back in ’09 for $345K. I’m not sure, but the photo from the deck makes it look as if the unit is east-facing; don’t take… Read More
When do you know the Seattle rental market is red hot? When $6,650 a month in rent is not high enough. Last Thursday, we blogged about a penthouse unit that opened up at the Rollin Street Flats in South Lake Union. The two-bedroom apartment was listed for $6,650 per month. We suggested that if you… Read More
Want to live the high life in South Lake Union? This is probably one of the best options: a contemporary two-bedroom apartment at the top of the Rollin Street Flats now renting for $6,650/mo. If you’re interested, you should hurry. The leasing agent I talked to said a unit down the hall rented recently in… Read More
The first of three new apartment buildings on the southwest corner of South Lake Union has started pre-leasing and more units are about to come onto the market. We toured “Union” recently and found it to be a cool, urban design, though a few things caught our eyes and ears. First, the basics: Union features… Read More
Last week sales seem to have increased, with 50 sales across the board. Two units at the olive 8 went pending, and quite a few listings in the Ballard and Queen Anne neighborhoods. With housing beginning to see pricing more comparable to 2003 than we’ve seen in nearly a decade, I chose to showcase those… Read More
The demolition in the photo below stopped me in my tracks yesterday as I walked toward my old condo on the west side of Lake Union. I knew the former manufacturing facility here at 801 Dexter Ave. N. (between Aloha and Valley Streets) was going to be torn down sooner or later, given the construction… Read More
Two new listings caught our eye today. First off, at the Veer Lofts in South Lake Union, Unit 613 just came on the market as a short sale. Listed at $399,000, this top-floor unit last sold in 2008 for $587,000. That would be quite a haircut for the bank. The one bedroom unit is laid… Read More
Happy Seafair weekend, Seattle!

One of the last remaining 2 bedroom, 2 baths at the Enso - 820 Blanchard St in SLU - just hit the market today. Holy HOAs, Batman! What do you get for $855/month? Personally, I’d call them the usuals: a guest suite, dining and entertainment areas, lounging and sunning areas, a community room, fitness facility, and a large roof deck…. Read More
The perks of living out near lake union are endless, but what if you could live the log cabin life, in a beautifully warped modern townhome on sustainable steroids? Come again you say? The architects over at 360 Design Studio have designed this absolutely stunning Urban townhome at 1308 Lakeview Blvd e Unit A, and… Read More
Twenty-foot ceilings and a two-story wall of windows provide a stunning focal point in this townhouse-style 1 bed + den, 1.5 bath at 2200. The 2nd floor location allows for a true patio, but I’m not convinced that direct access to the street is a plus. Granite in the kitchen is tile, not slab, but… Read More
Amazonians, here’s a two story west facing loft for you just down the block from the office. Unit 615 at Veer Lofts is a true loft, just over 1,000 square feet. Listed at $425k, sold for $420k two years ago brand new. We dig the 18′ ceiling, concrete floors and west facing exposure. Too bad… Read More
Last August someone bought unit 600 at Art Stable, the Kundig designed building in South Lake Union, for $1,565,000. Today it hit the market, still as a shell, at $1.3m. Ouch! While someone got in over their heads, you can get a good deal. We toured the building about a year ago, here’s our photos… Read More
Sweet looking west facing two story loft at Veer Lofts in South Lake Union. 401 9th Ave N Unit 614 is 1,005 square and feet selling for $440k. Same price it sold for brand new in February of 2010. Originally was listed for $547k in 2008 :). You can check it out this Sunday from… Read More
There are a few fresh faces in the list of 55 condos and townhouses with open houses, and there are many more that we’ve seen before. As sometimes happens, I’m getting sucked in by bathrooms so here’s three for you. 1506 NW 52nd St Sunday, 1-4PM I’m not quite sure how this live/work in Ballard… Read More
Happy New Year everyone! Let’s get 2011 wrapped up here — a look at Redfin shows that the final week in 2011 yielded 29 sold condos and townhouses in Seattle. In new construction condos that means #3110 sold at Olive 8 and then a few more at Escala. Escala (1920 4th Ave) Four more condos… Read More
There were 27 condos and townhouses that sold last week in Seattle. Notables include one half of that splitsville double unit on First Hill and some movement with new construction condos: Marselle and Escala each sold two. Gainsborough (1017 Minor Ave #804) The larger half of this former double unit at the Gainsborough sold for… Read More
There were 23 condos and townhouses that sold last week. Five of those were developer-owned, new construction condos and we really should take a closer look at that action. It is starting to look like a parade of sold out. Matt posted yesterday that the last unit at Trace North is finally closed bringing the… Read More
Two interesting new listings have popped up in the past couple of days: a unit at Veer Lofts and one at Brix. Veer — 401 9th Ave N #402 1-bedroom, 1-bath, and 870 square feet for $280K. I’m a bit surprised at the price. $321/sf is lower than any other Veer loft has sold for… Read More

Notable in resales was… Read More
