Weekly Wrap-Up

Photo: In the pouring rain Dafna got keys to her new place in Wallingford. She was the one who insisted on a cheesy giving of the keys photo, not me! :)

If you’re looking for a one bedroom condo in downtown, Belltown or Capitol Hill, a bunch hit the market this week. Two bedroom condos? Not so many.

What caught our eye this week?

• A $4.6m condo at 1521 went pending in 24 hours.
• A Wallingford home we saw that was listed at $900k sold for $1.4m.
• The comments on an article about an event for Nexus crack us up

But what about offers?

• A Capitol Hill loft we expected to sell a bit above its list price, ended up with only one offer, below list!
• A total fixer up Capitol Hill co-op got multiple offers and will sell above list price
• A two bedroom condo in Lower Queen Anne got six offers

Places we wish we could have blogged about:

• A massive modern in Issaquah for $4.3M
• Classic cabana and midcentury list for $2.5M on Kirkland’s waterfront
