 Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood has had some beautiful sunny days in the last weeks and West Queen Anne is particularly gorgeous perched over the Puget Sound. This picture was taken the day after Thanksgiving for anyone who doubts we get sun in the winter at all.
Here is your West Queen Anne real estate update for the December 2009 home selling market. You can find West Queen Anne real homes for sale and other Queen Anne real estate on my site if you want to see all current listings, but here are the numbers for tonight:
West Queen Anne homes for sale: Currently there are 47 West Queen Anne homes for sale in zip code 98119. They range in price from $340,000 for a home on the far West slope near Smith Cove on 14th to $4,890,000 for 602 W Highland which is a newer Queen Anne home in the very perfect spot on that gorgeous Southwest slope. The average price in zip code 98119 for homes on the market right now is $1,004,633 and the median is $650,000. The average days on market (DOM) for these is 97 days. There is also one home marked contingent in West Queen Anne priced at $1,185,000.
 Pending homes in West Queen Anne: These are homes that have received offers on them. There are 12 pending West Queen Anne homes on the market right now ranging in price from $349,950 to $1,075,000 with and average price of $696,599 and a median price of $742,500.
West Queen Anne home sales last six months: In the last six months, 86 West Queen Anne homes have sold in zip code 98119. These sold and closed home listings range from $199,000 for an extreme fixer to $4,300,000 with an average of $800,639 and a median sales price of $645,000. The average days on market over the last six months? 72 days.
Conclusion: West Queen Anne is selling! But how do these numbers stack up to previous years of sales in 98119 for the same period?
2006 Total Volume: $75,463,950 Avg/Med Price: $804,451/$699,950 Avg DOM: 35
2007 Total Volume $62,104,075 Avg/Med Price: $874,705/$700,000 Avg DOM: 35
2008 Total Volume $34,368,800 Avg/Med Price: $781,109/$636,000 Avg DOM: 73
2009 Total Volume $68,854,945 Avg/Med Price: $800,639/$645,000 Avg DOM: 72
The sales volume itself is the best it has been in over three years! It doubled last year for the same period and then some! Prices have definitely gone down and days on market are longer, but a well priced house will sell and there are buyers out there buying West Queen Anne. In fact, inventory in this Seattle neighborhood is actually one of the problems while working with buyers in this area so if you are thinking of selling, please do consider getting an evaluation!
(I took out the Queen Anne townhomes for this property list, but you can find Queen Anne townhouses andQueen Anne condos on the site, too, if that is what you are after.) Please also feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions at all about Seattle real estate.

Queen Anne West slope real estate is hopping -there are some wonderful homes out there right now and Queen Anne has been selling pretty quickly given that this is the 2009 Seattle real estate market!
West of Queen Anne Ave N all the way over to 10th Ave W and from about Prospect up North to McGraw was where we were focusing today and there are some wonderful choices in the $600,000 to $1,000,000 range. Amazing sweeping Puget Sound views can be had for under a million in this neighborhood, especially if you are willing to put in a little elbow grease fixing the house up to make it perfect.
Queen Anne character: There are a lot of extremely gorgeous tree lined streets with thick sidewalks and walking paths that even Green Lake could envy on a day such as today. The Queen Anne home pictured above is appointed towards the Sound and mountains and perched above the lovely Wilcox Wall high up on on the West slope of Queen Anne.
Queen Anne Real Estate: Listed Queen Anne homes on the West slope are moving fairly quickly. If you have a nice home that is at least three bedrooms in this ten by ten block area of the West slope of Queen Anne, please let me know! I have a buyer who really wants to move here and we are seeing everything. This particular area has a nice mix of easy bus route right Downtown (bus 1) as well as easy walk to Queen Anne Ave for all the great Upper Queen Anne merchants, plus Trader Joe’s and the library are right here, too!
If you are interested in Queen Anne real estate, please let us know – we are happy to show you some of our favorite spots and homes available for sale in this wonderful Seattle neighborhood.

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’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!
Active Queen Anne lisintg: These are Queen Anne homes that are available right now on the market.These range in price from $525,000 to $1,545,000 with an average of $826,557 and a median list price of $783,835. I have previewed or toured most of these and there are some amazing offerings included so let me know if you are interested and I can show you my favorites. Pending Sales: This is Queen Anne Real estate that has not closed yet, but has offers. Sold homes: 37 in the last 6 months!!!! This is great news! They range in price from a very affordable $375,000 to $1,900,000 with an average of $741,5111 and a median of $660,000. Average days on market was 68 days for Queen Anne homes.
Average listing price per square foot is $309 for these homes and average selling price per square foot is $306.
Happy Halloween Queen Anne!

 Seattle’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).

 HMMM..
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!
