There are a number of waterfront homes for sale in Seattle's Seward Park currently. Starting at $1.6 million, these homes range from 60 to 110 feet of low bank Lake Washington waterfront. This group of listings is larger than the usual number of available homes. About half of these homes came on the market in the past month.

New homes can't be built, waterfront properties are relatively scarce, and the Lake Washington shoreline in this area is some of the most highly sought in Seattle. Waterfront … (0 comments)

waterfront: Sinkholes opening up on the Seattle Waterfront - 05/21/09 11:27 PM
Seattle's waterfront is getting ready for a major renovation with a new transit tunnel and surface beautification. Just in time.
Seattle's seawall on the waterfront was built on mudflats. The fill material supporting the viaduct and adjacent structures has been know to be unstable and likely to shift over time. Small marine creature have been boring through the seawall for years, reducing its strength and affecting the subjacent support of the street and sidewalks along the waterfront piers.
This week, a visitor to the waterfront fell into a sinkhole that opened up in the sidewalk. As the man was walking neaar … (0 comments)

waterfront: Bellevue waterfront real estate sales - single family homes, 2009 - 05/15/09 02:17 PM
Bellevue's waterfront homes have seen some significant sales so far in 2009. According to the NWMLS, there have been 9 waterfront single family homes sold so far this year, ranging from $1.05 million to $3.68 million. Who says there are no buyers for high end properties?
These waterfront homes all seem to be selling within 5%-10% of their list price, which is fairly good considering the current declining values in the upper end of the market. It seems that these sellers of waterfront real estate are willing to negotiate on their prices, but aren't necessarily taking big price cuts to make a … (0 comments)

waterfront: Llandover-by-the-Sound - Seattle's hidden neighborhood - 05/13/09 03:36 PM
Llandover-by-the-Sound is the kind of place you could drive by every day and never know it. This pocket of homes on the Northwest corner of Seattle is difficult to find, even for a local Seattle resident. It may be technically in Broadview, but it's a very different enclave.
Just at Seattle's northern limit, next to the Seattle Golf Club, a city park called Llandover Woods marks the Eastern end of this neighborhood--but you can only get in on foot from here. Take a drive South a few blocks and then West a few more (I could give you better directions, but that would take … (0 comments)

waterfront: South Lake Union Vulcan condo project to become apartments - 05/11/09 10:15 AM
South Lake Union's Rollin Street Flats condo project has been slated for conversion to apartments, according to Vulcan Real Estate, the Seattle-based developer. While pre-sales had covered a reported 25% of the units, sales were slow enough that Vulcan decided it would not sell quickly enough to meet Fannie Mae guidelines for financing in the near future.
Home buyers who had put down deposits on Rollin Street are having their deposits returned. Additionally, they're being offered a credit on a purchase of Vulcan's other South Lake Union condos - Enso and Veer Lofts. They can also receive a credit to rent an … (1 comments)

waterfront: Kenmore waterfront - Lake Washington homes under $1 million - 05/08/09 10:12 AM
For home buyers looking for Lake Washington waterfront homes without the traffic of Seattle or Bellevue, Kenmore is a nice option. At the North end of Lake Washington, prices are a bit less, and Kenmore has a more suburban feel to it.
There are a handful of homes on Lake Washington in Kenmore currently for sale, and one such home is under $1 million. It's likely that we'll see a few more of these homes in the next year or two, and in the near future they'll be just a memory. Lake Washington waterfront homes are scarce enough and in high … (0 comments)

waterfront: Affordable Lake Washington Waterfront in Seattle - 05/07/09 02:09 PM
Lake Washington waterfront homes are rarely "affordable". $700,000 may be a bit of a stretch for that term, but for waterfront property with a dock and single family home, this is as affordable as it gets.
Currently there are Seattle homes in Upper Rainier Beach and Skyway at $700k and $850k on Lake Washington. There are only a handful of homes on all of Lake Washington listed right now under $1 million.

waterfront: Lake Forest Park - Lake Washington Waterfront - 05/01/09 11:49 AM
Lake Forest Park is a community on the Northeast end of Seattle. While it is a separate city from Seattle, it's close enough to downtown to feel like just another neighborhood. Just 3 square miles in area, much of Lake Forest Park is covered in towering fir trees. It's bordered on the North by Kenmore, on the West by Shoreline, and on the South by Seattle.
Lake Forest Park slopes down to the East as you head toward the waterfront. Real estate prices are fairly moderate in the area, although the homes on Lake Washington quickly rise in price. Homes on the … (0 comments)

waterfront: Blue Ridge - Seattle Views of the Puget Sound - 04/28/09 11:03 AM
Blue Ridge, in Northwest Seattle, has some of the best Puget Sound views in the city. This small neighborhood just north of Ballard and Crown Hill is a pocket of pristine homes and manicured yards. The waterfront homes are usually separated from the Sound by a narrow shore and train tracks.
The streets are sidewalks are maintained well, and it's a wonderful neighborhood to walk on a sunny day. The traffic is almost non-existent, the neighbors are friendly, and there is a real pride of ownership in the area.

waterfront: Inexpensive waterfront homes in Shoreline - 04/20/09 11:51 AM
Seattle-area residents looking for inexpensive waterfront homes can start their search in Shoreline. Prices on the Puget Sound are fairly high, but less-well-known locales like Echo Lake create great opportunities to own waterfront without blowing your budget.
Echo Lake is a small body of water on the North end of Shoreline near Highway 99. There are waterfront condos as low as $150,000 available. For buyers who want a dock, somewhere that they can kayak, or just a place to set a beach chair and relax, Shoreline can create a great chance to own your own part of the waterfront.

waterfront: Windermere Waterfront Homes on the Market - 04/16/09 06:38 PM
The Windermere neighborhood in Northeast Seattle is associated by name with a local Northwest real estate brokerage. The neighborhood is not big, and when homes come on the market, they are usually snapped up by one of the local residents or someone who has been "lying in wait" for a chance to live in Windermere.
Waterfront real estate prices are high, but many of the waterfront homes have larger lakefront footage than in neighborhoods to the North. There is currently only one home for sale in Windermere on Lake Washington, at just under $5 million. Homes over $2 million, in general, have been … (0 comments)

waterfront: Magnolia Waterfront Homes For Sale - 04/15/09 05:48 PM
Magnolia's peninsula off the Western side of Seattle is almost an island - No one drives through Magnolia, only to Magnolia. The sunsets and views of the waterfront on the Puget Sound are beautiful, and the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet.
Homes on Magnolia's waterfront are not often on the market, but there are a couple right now with some very unique features. Starting at $2.5 million, these homes are not in reach for most, but those looking for a secluded spot to live on the waterfront may want to take a look.

Waterfront Homes in the Seattle area have held their ground over the past few years, and the Leschi neighborhood doesn't look any different.

waterfront: Belltown waterfront condos - Inexpensive downtown Seattle waterfront - 04/14/09 11:30 AM
Belltown is at the North end of downtown Seattle, and doesn't have a lot of waterfront real estate, but there are a handful of condo buildings that are technically on the water.
At the moment, there are just 2 condos in Belltown listed as waterfront, but they're both surprisingly affordable. Both come in under $320,000, which is below the median price point in Belltown overall. These are smaller condos (a 1 bedroom and a studio), but this is entry-level pricing for Seattle waterfront living.

waterfront: Laurelhurst Waterfront Homes For Sale - 04/13/09 10:58 PM
The Laurelhurst neighborhood of Seattle rarely has a true waterfront home for sale. When they do come on the market, the highly-sought real estate in this area is usually purchased quickly, even with the high-end prices.
There is currently just one waterfront home for sale in Laurelhurst. It's a $6 million property with more waterfront footage than you'd believe. There are a limited number of buyers for this kind of real estate, but at this price I'd imagine an extremely unique property like this will move in a short time.
