Seattle Waterfront Home Sales in May 2009

Three Seattle waterfront homes have sold so far in May, with the home prices being on the lower end of the waterfront market. The homes sold at a wide range of discounts from listing price, and varied from one week on the market to 6 months on the market.

The first home was a 3 bed, 1.75 bath house on Lake Washington's waterfront in Cedar Park (near Lake City in NE Seattle). With a good-sized dock on the lake and ample space, it sold for $765,000, just 4% off the list price of $799k. This was really the low end of market prices on Lake Washington.

Another Cedar Park waterfront home sold for $1.14 million. A large home, at over 3500 sq ft and 4 beds/3 baths, this property had 50 feet of lakefront, parallel docks and two boat lifts. It sold at about 86% of its original list price, in just under 6 months.

The third home sold in May was in NW Seattle in the North Beach Neighborhood. This Puget Sound waterfront home was a 3 bed, 2.75 bath, 1960s era home. It sold at just 7 days on the market - a surprisingly quick sale considering its $1,000,000 selling price at 15% less than the list price. Considering that the Seattle Real Estate market is very slow over $1mm, it seems like a concession that makes sense.
