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
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
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
Seattle saw 33 sale transactions close in condos and townhouses last week. It was the last week of the month, so the usual run of new construction closings cropped up including one condo at Marselle and at Danielle, two condos at Enso (including that double-height penthouse), and three condos at Escala. Notable in resales was… Read More
Looks like the final developer-owned unit at Enso went pending late last week and the project is basically sold out (after the 5 or so pending sales close in the coming weeks, that is). In closed sales news, 19 condos and townhouses closed last week including a former foreclosure at Mosler Lofts in Belltown, 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
In Seattle, there were 18 condos and townhouses sold last week. Following is a quick rundown of what looks to be a fairly successful week for new construction condos. Escala (3) Escala closes three more sales and, if added to the week prior, that makes 4 total for the month of October. 1920 4th Ave… Read More
A few weeks ago, we took a look at which new construction condo projects have “one left” and according to the media blast from Matrix last week, Enso is just shy of joining that crowd. In the South Lake Union condominium, there are only two 1-bedroom condos left to buy and they both have Lake… Read More
Geez, for only 16 closed condo and townhouse sales last week, I’m not suffering for notables to talk about. New construction adds a few to the count and we see a couple of high-priced resales that close after a lengthy stay on the MLS. New construction condos are back on the scoreboards with one each… Read More
The penthouse showcase at Realogics got me thinking about penthouses. I started wondering how many penthouses are currently listed and, more specifically, how many top floor condos bill themselves as both penthouses and lofts? My methods are far from a complete and accurate search but here’s a quick look at what I came across. A… Read More
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
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
Both Gallery and Enso are well into the 90th percentile and are approaching sold out. To usher their final units out the door, the two condo buildings have recently announced price reductions. Enso (820 Blanchard St) Enso took up to 7% off the price of 9 remaining units. Enso Units Old Price New Price #707… Read More
There were 27 closed sales in Seattle’s condo and townhouse market last week. After last week’s round-up of new construction condo inventory, it seems that the following units moved from the ‘pending’ column to the ‘sold’ column: Trace North #320 and #420 – both 1-bedroom condos that closed for $425/sf and $417/sf respectively. Enso #505… 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
I’m halfway convinced that someday when I run my Redfin query on last week’s sales and the results come back higher than 50 condos and townhouses, that music will play while balloons and confetti fall from the ceiling. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen this time – only 30 condos and townhouses sold last week in Seattle,… Read More
Matrix, Vulcan’s sales team, Tweeted and sent out an email about their progress in South Lake Union. Veer Lofts has sold out their 99 units. Took them three and half years (they went on sale mid-February ’07) and two sales teams. Enso meanwhile has sold 100 units and has 29 to go. Oddly only six… Read More
I haven’t heard much about Enso recently. Any owners or people who looked at building care to comment?
Two re-sales from two newer buildings hit the market this week. Let’s check in and see how what their sellers’ are expecting. The first is unit 205 at Madison Lofts. Sold for $579,950 July 30th 2008 it’s now on the market for $525,000. Actually, it’s not really a new listing, it’s been on and off… Read More
