Seattle Houseboats: A Market Update on The Floating Homes In Seattle

By
Real Estate Agent with Cooper Jacobs

If you have been watching the Seattle Houseboats market, then you know it has been low on inventory and slooooow.  

All across Seattle in other  Seattle neighborhoods  inventory has been lacking and difficult to find. We do know of a few Seattle houseboats coming on the market beyond the ones I am about to talk about.  They are on the horizon as far as market inventory, so stay tuned and we will keep you updated on action.  I wanted to go ahead, though, and get a Seattle Houseboats floating homes market update written out because there are some cool new listings. 

Looking for Seattle Houseboats?  Here is thSeattle houseboats for salee Market Update for listings of floating homes on Lake Union and Portage Bay:

There are four ACTIVE Seattle houseboats listings which are Seattle floating homes listed in the NWMLS right now. Prices vary fomr the 400's to almost 3M, so here we go.   There are two Seattle houseboats that are one bedrooms and listed at $449,000 and the new listing priced at $525,000.  These are both in Eastlake and are wonderful choices and happen to be on the same dock.  The dock these two are on is one of the most well run Seattle floating homes co-ops on Lake Union.  It consists of three docks belonging to "The Log Foundation" and is known for its great reputation.  The three docks in The Log Foundation are the most Southern Eastlake docks that there are so they are a great choice for views and also if you happen to be commuting to South Lake Union (Amazon).  Cats are ok and small lap dogs, too, but you still have to get them approved by the board.

2025 Fairview Ave E #R is the newest one listed of these four.  It is a one bedroom/one bath home with the awesome roof top deck everyone wants when they think Seattle houseboats. It is 950 square feet and has a great spot to have your boat alongside.  This home is part of the larger cooperative (The Log Foundation) and they own the moorage slips,  so it is a secure way to own a Seattle floating home.  Let myself or Molly know if you want to see this one or any of them.

seattle houseboatsThere is a great Portage Bay houseboat for sale right now and also another end of dock Eastlake home.  These are priced at $750,000 and $2,888,000.  Personally, I think the Portage Bay floating home is a great buy. Molly and I have sold end of dock Seattle houseboats and look forward to seeing some great ones come on the market as we have a few buyers ready and willing and eager to purchase an end of dock home.  After all, this is Seattle waterfront living at its best!

OH!  Almost forgot!  If you are interested in Seattle New Construction floating homes, then there is one more slip available in the MLS for the newest Seattle houseboats dock, Ward's Cove.  This is floating homes - not vessels or barges and the new floating home does have to meet certain building requirements and specifications.

We are happy to walk you through any of this or show you our favorite Seattle houseboats. Have a great day!

Houseboats most definitely is a niche. Glad Seattle residents have Courtney Cooper to share her knowledge of the market.
