Upper Queen Anne Real Estate Market Update

By Courtney Cooper, Realtor, Cooper Jacobs Real Estate, courtney@cooperjacobs.com, 206-850-8841, on October 29th, 2009%

Upper Queen Anne is beautiful – I especially love the retail all along Queen Anne Ave N and the walkability that most of the homes in this area offer.  I wanted to look at homes in the Upper Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle that score extremely high on Walk Score so I looked at the market just from 4th Ave W all the way East to 4th Ave N and from W Smith Street and Queen Anne Dr to the North down to W Lee St and Lee St where the hill starts really impeding walkability.  I would expect that all of these houses score in the high 80s to well over 90 on Walk Score’s site.

queen anne real estateQueen Anne’s real estate market has been very active this year and Upper Queen Anne especially. These numbers do not include townhomes which I will pull out separately in another post.  There are currently 16 Active homes in this area of the Queen Anne neighborhood.  There are 6 pending homes and 37 sold in the last six months.  Queen Anne homes are selling!

Queen Anne Real Estate Update Residential

By Courtney Cooper, Realtor, Cooper Jacobs Real Estate, courtney@cooperjacobs.com, 206-850-8841, on October 15th, 2009%

Queen Anne real estateSeattle’s Queen Anne Neighborhood real estate update: Residential Active listings (homes for sale), Pending listings (Queen Anne homes under agreement and either pending inspection or pending close – basically in escrow), and solds (homes which have closed and we have sales data for them.  All home data taken from NWMLS listings info. Residential is basically anything that is not a condo or a co-op, etc. so Queen Anne Townhomes are included in numbers.  Let me know if you want those broken out this time.

Active Seattle WA Queen Anne Homes For Sale: These are the single family houses for sale in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood.  Currently in Seattle, there are 127 Active listings in the NWMLS for Queen Anne homes (I am excluding a Seattle houseboat that is a vessel and not a single family home marked in the neighborhood).  In looking at distressed homes vs. “normal” listings, there are only 3 active Queen Anne Real estate listings that are bank owned (REO).  The active Queen Anne real estate listings range in list price from $329,000 (for an REO) to $7,200,000 for an amazing 1926 Seattle mansion on Comstock with 10,000 square feet.  The average price is $1,083,573 and the median listing price of these is $777,770.  Average days on market is at about 88.  There is also one Contingent listing at a price of $1,950,000.

Pending Homes in Queen Anne: Currently there are 46 Queen Anne homes that are marked as pending in the MLS.  They range in price from $349,000 to $1,350,000 with a median of $612,000 and average days on market of 66 days.

Let’s talk about the Queen Anne sales in the last six months…

Again, I am excluding vessels here, but there have been 137 Queen Anne homes closed in the last six months.  They range in price form $345,000 to $4,300,000 with a median of $625,000 and average days on market of 63 days.  These homes are generally selling for 95% and above of list price with some exceptions of course.  Seattle real estate has been interesting this year, but Queen Anne’s real estate market is still moving.

Queen Anne Real Estate Distressed Neighborhood?  I think not. While some may have trouble making their mortgage payments, this Seattle neighborhood is not overall distressed and holding strong.  Single family residential REO (foreclosure) Queen Anne numbers are as follows:  11 Total REO properties in Queen Anne – 3 Active for sale, 2 Pending, 6 sold – no short sales in Queen Anne (that have been marked correctly in the MLS).

A Peek At Westlake In Seattle

By Courtney Cooper, Realtor, Cooper Jacobs Real Estate, courtney@cooperjacobs.com, 206-850-8841, on July 2nd, 2009%

Seattle floating homesWestlake is Queen Anne’s waterfront presence on Lake Union.

We like to go out and get lots of pictures of Seattle whenever we are showing homes – here is a great shot from a recent Seattle floating homes tour we did for a wonderful couple.

It is a picture of Westlake towards the houseboat community there (Westlake is the floating home community that the Sleepless in Seattle houseboat is in) with Queen Anne in the background.  The picture was taken from Eastlake on the banks of Lake Union looking through some houseboats on the East side of the lake.  You can see all of the marvelous Queen Anne view condos that are in East Queen Anne & Westlake.

Seattle Real Estate: Some Stats To Share: Area 700

By Courtney Cooper, Realtor, Cooper Jacobs Real Estate, courtney@cooperjacobs.com, 206-850-8841, on February 3rd, 2009%

queen anne real estateHMMM..

I figured I would go ahead and share some of the stats I just passed along to a client since they were of interest to me:

Area 700 (Queen Anne and Magnolia) in Seattle info for price range $800,000 to $1,000,000

How many houses sold in December 2008 and January 2009? There were 3 closed sales – all in December in area 700 in that price range.  In addition, there is one Pending listing.  This is a listing that is waiting to close.

Current inventory of available homes in market area 700 in the same price range? There are currently 35 homes available in that price range and market area that are marked as ACTIVE.  In addition, there is one property that is marked “Contingent”  – it has an offer from a buyer who needs to sell their house first.

Staggering numbers in this range as far as active inventory, but the days on market average is still only 71 days for the 35 actives.  To only have 3 sales is not as surprising based on the holiday season and also the recent winter storms, but by contrast residential sales under $800,000 in area 700 (Queen Anne and Magnolia) were much greater at 35 closed sales since December 1st.  The smaller price range is definitely moving faster as many first timers who are qualified come out for ideal market conditions.

Flexibility in price and supreme market presentation is going to be key to standing out in this crowd!
