urbnlivn, a seattle condo blog

Alright, no more silly exchanges in the comments! I’m too busy enjoying the sunny weather in San Francisco to keep deleting all the off topic comments. Let’s keep the discussion focused on condos.

More new listings, more price reductions. One for $20k. My search shows 31 active listings. I’m sure there’s more on Craigslist either as rentals or FSBO. My favorite new listing is this $731/sq ft studio, 900 Lenora St #W702. Check out the nice view that is about to go away :).

Huge reductions at 2200
#W203 dropped $6,000 to $459,950. It’s a 1 bed/1 bath, 840 square feet at $548/SqFt.
900 Lenora #1001 dropped $100k to $799,950 and it’s only been on the market 56 days. That’s quite the price reduction. What does $800k buy you? 2 beds/1.75 bath, 1,238 square feet on the 10th floor at $646/SqFt:

Here is what has been going on for the last five days…
Random action
1009 Western Ave #1102 (Waterfront Place) - $750k. No doubt the views are spectacular but what does the inside look like? I also don’t getting this marketing comment: Sold for over $50K LESS than the market value! Update: Marie at Redfin Sweet Digs […]

I stumbled on this blog sometime in the last three days, Fast Times at 2200 Westlake and it features such gems as Who lives at 2200 Westlake?

So, who lives here at 2200? I’ll give it to you simple. The rich older folks live in the Aria tower. The middle-aged DINKs live in Arte and […]

It’s been a while since I’ve really done MLS Watch. The truth is that we’ve been having troubles at Redfin getting our ‘listing alert e-mails’ to run reliably which is what I use to compile this blog post. Anyhow, here’s a look at some of the activity over the past week that caught my eye:

Wow, this is the longest MLS Watch yet. I guess the realtors are assuming everyone is back from vacation and it’s time to get the units moving.
Noma
19 units at Noma came online. They now have 22 listings on the MLS range in price from $222,950 to $539,950 which if my other information is correct […]
