Queen Anne Real Estate Update Halfway through 2010

Queen Anne real estate has been pretty busy this year so far!

There have been some Queen Anne short sales and Queen Anne foreclosures, but thankfully for  the most part they aren’t affecting our market as much as other Seattle neighborhoods are seeing an impact.

Single family Queen Anne residential sales – Queen Anne homes in this category: there are currently 87 Queen Anne homes for sale (excluding floating homes in Westlake) ranging from $289,950 to $7,200,000.  The median price of a Queen Anne home for sale in the Seattle MLS right now is $769,950 and average dollar per square foot is $317.13.  Interesting homes of note to me in this batch is the hugely remodeled Fred Betts House at 700 W Kinnear which you can view in it’s earlier state while being lived in by Mr. Betts here.  The other real beauty is at 120 Prospect St – it reminds me so much of the Ballard Mansion!  It is a gorgeous classical Georgian Colonial and right in the heart of the Southeast Slope and only a block and a half east of Queen Anne Ave. right before Prospect curves up into Bigelow.

Queen Anne Mansions & Queen Anne Boulevard – a couple notes: I love Queen Anne mansions and homes on Queen Anne Boulevard are unique to other Queen Anne homes in a couple different ways.  Queen Anne Boulevard is a trail that covers many streets as it circles the picturesque crown of beautiful Queen Anne.  Many of the homes that align Queen Anne Boulevard appear to have large yards, but the fact of that matter is that in some cases unsuspecting buyers (and agents for that matter) have purchased (or sold) a home on Queen Anne Boulevard only to find out that the new buyers do not actually own a large portion of the front yard.

Queen Anne Boulevard is part of the parks system and the land surrounding much of it is also public land. This was not a pleasant surprise I am sure for someone buying on the Boulevard and finding a jogger or walker resting in their flower bed, but the Boulevard has great benefits, too – think of it as living front row to one of Seattle’s great trail systems or living along the crown jewel of the neighborhood of Queen Anne.

Pending Queen Anne Homes for sale in The MLS: There are a few categories of Pending in the NWMLS so I will go over each.  Pending Inspection is just how it sounds and there are 9 Queen Anne homes under contract ranging from $359,950 to $1,180,000 with a median price of $529,500 and an average days on market of 93.  Pending BU is a status that is for homes pending and waiting to close, but for some reason the owner or agent is asking for a back up.  This does not always mean that there is trouble with the first deal.   In some cases it is a tactic of the listing agent to attract more potential buyers to sell other homes to (sorry I call it how it is since I have seen this first hand a few times while selling a particular property.).  There are 2 Pending BU Queen Anne homes on the market in the low $400k range.  The other homes that are pending are just waiting to close – they have gone through any potential inspections, etc.   These range in price from $299,000 to $2,495,000 with a median price of $744,500 and average days on market of 37 days.

Sold Queen Anne Real estate in the MLS: These are Queen Anne sold homes in the last 30 days out of the NWMLS and compiled as they are above by me.   Twelve Queen Anne homes for sale in the MLS have sold in the last 30 days – these are single family homes and do not include Queen Anne co-ops and condos.   These sold homes which have closed in escrow range in sales price from $472,500 to $1,515,000 with a median sales price of $777,500.  They wer eon the market an average of 74 days with a low of 4 and high of 211.

Queen Anne Real Estate Update 2010

Queen Anne Blog About Queen Anne Neighborhood and Homes For Sale:  Queen Anne Real Estate Update 2010

Queen Anne has been MOVING! Lots of new inventory to choose from, too.  There are 102 Active Residential Queen Anne listings right now!  Homes range from a $249,000 for a “multi level” which usually means townhouse by the way to a $4,950,000 for a newer beauty on Highland Drive.

Queen Anne View homesAt $649,000, you can get a Queen Anne view townhome with sweeping views of the Puget Sound listed by my friend Claudia.  This is a really great place, by the way.  I sold the one next door just a couple months ago and these places are a knock out!!!  They have high end finish work and the builders are dolls.  The listing agent was also a dream to work with. I also happen to personally know that the neighbors are nice.  Claudia also has a commercial space on Aurora listed for very cheap if you are interested – $138,000 in Queen Anne for commercial!

Queen Anne Townhomes: There is a large segment of these active residential listings that are townhomes and you can get some nice views from the newer ones that are laid out to take into consideration the view.  Take the Ward Street Townhomes, for instance.  I just sold one of those last month – they are amazing! I sold 566C which had an amazing roof top deck with a gas fireplace and sweeping views of the city, bamboo floors, and more – very cool and one of the buildings which happens to be under that Sterling Saving special right now where you can get the lender to contribute up to $20k towards your closing costs, etc.

Queen Anne Pending Sales – Right now under contract, there are 19 homes for sale in Queen Anne waiting to close – they range from  $325,000 for a short sale to $1,965,000 for one of the wonderful West Queen Anne School units (- the Gym:)  I am pretty sure my kids’ great grandfather must have gone here as a boy.  I love that they converted these back in the eighties and this unit is spectacular. )

It’s a Queen Anne blog post about real estate so let’s look at sales… There have been 133 Queen Anne residential homes sold in the last six months!  Queen Anne is selling!  Average listing price of these was $695,827 and the average selling price was $667,349.  Average $ per square foot on selling price for these Queen Anne homes for sale was $284.

Queen Anne real estate tips:  if you have a home to sell, now is a good time – Queen Anne is known to be a strong real estate market and there is a good demand for homes that are priced well and presented nicely – both in person and definitely on the internet.  Buyers want well maintained homes and view homes are of course popular, but proximity to Queen Anne Ave and the Boulevard for shopping and trails is also important.  Look at your WalkScore and see how your home rates.  Walk ability and accessibility is becoming more and more important to many Queen Anen buyers.

Upper Queen Anne Real Estate Market Update

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 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.

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).

Seattle Real Estate: Some Stats To Share: Area 700

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!
