The Pending Home Sales Index has been showing positive signs for the U.S. real estate market in recent months. Both May and June showed increases in pending sales, creating some positive momentum for the summer real estate market. From the NAR report:
Pending home sales increased in June following a wide swing down in April and then up in May, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. Activity increased in the West and South but declined in the Midwest and Northeast; all regions show strong double-digit gains from a year ago.

Seattle-Area Waterfront Home Sales Up 12% in First Half 2011 - 07/28/11 05:24 PM
Waterfront homes sales in the Seattle area were up significantly for the first half of 2011. Waterfront sales recorded on the NWMLS for 2010 were at 207 at the halfway point, while that number has risen to 233 sales in 2011.
The 12% increase is another indication that there are some strong pockets in the Seattle real estate market, especially in niche categories with unique value. Certain segments such as waterfront homes, modern homes, and highly-coveted traditional neighborhoods are seeing strong real estate sales and stabilization in prices, even while much of the new construction market is stagnant.

Denny-Blaine Waterfront Home Sells For $9 million After Just 3 Days on Market - 07/27/11 01:09 PM
Denny-Blaine homes on Lake Washington's waterfront are rarely on the market in Seattle, so it's always interesting to see how quickly they sell when they are listed publicly. Many families have lived in the highly-regarded neighborhood for generations, so a large number of transactions in Denny-Blaine end up being off-market sales or in-family transfers.
The most recent sale reflects the high value that is still held by Denny-Blaine and its residents. The 5 bedroom, 7.25 bath home at 154 Lake Washington Blvd E was on the market for just 3 days before having an accepted offer. While listed for $10.8 million, its final … (0 comments)

$28MM Mercer Island Waterfront Mega-Mansion To Be Sold By Auction Company - 07/22/11 12:37 PM
The Boulevard Estate
4137 Boulevard Place, Mercer Island WA 98040
The Boulevard Estate on Mercer Island received plenty of attention in the past year for its top-of-the-market $32 million price tag, eventually being reduced to $28.8 million. The 7 bedroom, 11.25 bath home was listed on the NWMLS until a few months ago, and was featured on many television news programs as well as print outlets.
The estate is truly a unique property, even for Mercer Island waterfront homes, and it's difficult to really capture the scale and quality without seeing it in person. … (0 comments)

Shoreline Waterfront Home in Innis Arden Sells for $1.317 million - 07/13/11 03:07 PM
Most Shoreline waterfront homes are on high bluffs over the Puget Sound, as was the most recent sale.
A 3,180 square foot home on the high bank waterfront of Innis Arden was sold on the last day of June for $1,317,000. It's a significant sale for the area, with a strong sales price for most of Shoreline outside of The Highlands or Llandover by the Sound.
This home is a mid-century modern home with walls of West-facing glass to capture the sunsets. It was on the market for a few months in 2010, and then came back on the market … (0 comments)

$3 Million Kirkland Waterfront Home Sold in June - 07/12/11 10:53 AM
There are a wide range of styles and prices when it comes to Kirkland waterfront homes, and the most recent sale was certainly near the top of Kirkland's luxury market.
A 6180 square foot home on Rose Point Lane was sold in June for $3.075 million after nearly 15 months on the market, with its sale price garnering 88% of the final list price. This palatial estate sits on 112 feet of Lake Washington waterfront, on the Southwest tip of Juanita Bay, giving it the deep views across the lake along with access to the calm waters of the bay.
At 5 bedrooms and 4.5 … (0 comments)

Two Medina Waterfront Homes Sold in June - 07/11/11 05:39 PM
Two Medina waterfront homes sold in June, both topping the $3 million mark.
The first sale was on the Western side of Evergreen Point Rd, with Seattle city views. I had a chance to tour the home with clients, and at 4500 square feet, it's a sprawling home with walls and walkways of glass, allowing in plenty of sunlight in the afternoon and evening. The home had been on the market for almost a year, with a final selling price of $3 million, about 86% of its final list price.
The second sale was on the protected harbor side of Evergreen Point, on 32nd St. … (1 comments)

Two Bellevue Waterfront Homes Sold in June - 07/09/11 01:06 PM
Two Bellevue waterfront homes on opposite ends of the city sold during June. The first sale was a small, Frank Lloyed Wright-inspired bungalow on West Lake Sammamish, with an expansive 85 foot swath of waterfront. The property had a slightly quirky parking/entry area, which accounted for its sale price of $1.265 million, much lower than usual for W Lk Samm homes.
The second home was in SW Bellevue, on the Lake Washington shoreline. The waterfront home was only on the market for two days, with a sale price of $1.27 million. The cozy lot has 57 feet of lake frontage and a sizable dock. … (0 comments)

Details: Seven Sold Waterfront Seattle Homes, June 2011 - 07/07/11 11:23 AM
Some significant waterfront homes were sold in Seattle this past month, with a handful garnering some of the top prices for 2011 thusfar.
The less-expensive homes were sold on Fairview in Eastlake (a floating home), on Riviera in Cedar Park and Matthews Beach, and on Rainier Ave in the Lakeridge/Bryn Mawr area. Leschi had a much stronger-than-usual showing with two multi-million dollar sales on Lakeside, and Denny-Blaine rounded out the sales with one of its stately residences coming in at $3.65 million.

Seattle Area Waterfront Home Sales Rise 37% in June - 07/03/11 12:42 PM
Sales of Seattle-area waterfront homes soared in June, adding some health to one sector of the real estate market. Sales of waterfront homes in King County rose from 37 in May to 59 for the month of June. While waterfront real estate sales always rise with the summer weather, this increase was more than the usual cyclical increase.
Total sales increased 37% versus the previous month, and were up 14% versus the same month in 2010. Waterfront and luxury homes are many times a leading factor for the industry, and can signal the increase of investor confidence in a real estate market.
