Houseboats and Floating Homes dominated the sales of waterfront homes in Seattle for November 2009. Of the 6 waterfront real estate sales, 5 were floating homes on Seattle's Lake Union.
3 floating homes sold in the Eastlake neighborhoo d. There was quite a range in home styles and prices of these Lake Union Homes:
$250,000 - Bank-owned studio floating home on Dox Coop
$725,000 - 3 bed, 1.75 bath, 2 story floating home in Phoenix Moorage Condo
$2,100,000 - 3 bed, 3 bath, 3000 sq ft 3 story floating home in Eastlake
There's a real surge in floating home prices when the views increase--much like regular waterfront homes. This 3-level home has some of the best views on the Lake Union. It was built in 2007 and is much like living in a traditional home, whereas the studio is a cozy waterfront cavin.
2 floating homes sold in Portage Bay off Lake Union's east end:
$330,000 - Bank-owned 1 bed, .75 bath floating home, built in 2006
$420,000 - Bank-owned 1 bed, 1 bath floating home, built in 2007
These homes on Boyer Ave were part of a group of homes rebuilt by one high-end builder a couple of years back. He did an amazing job in quality, but apparently overshot the price that buyers were willing to pay. They seem to all have been sold very recently.
A magnificent Lake Washington home in Laurelhurst was the pinnacle of recent waterfront home sales. Sold for $11,500,000, this 5 bed, 5 bath, 10k sq ft home was on the market for just two months. It has a very large swath of Lake Washington waterfront at 125 feet. Built in 2003, it has the modern conveniences of a 3 car garage, 2 docks, boat lifts, swimming pool, and an outdoor living room.
