I'm seeing a lot of activity in Ballard/Loyal Heights. Most houses going in 1-2 weeks with multiple bids over asking. First price is asking, second is sold.

7702 28th Ave NW 459,000 460,000
7317 Earl Ave NW 700,000 705,000
7558 28th Ave NW 499,950 526,000
7537 33rd Ave NW 749,000 760,000
1917 NW 73rd St 450,000 482,000
7509 Earl Ave NW 489,950 490,000
8021 22nd Ave NW 699,950 515,000
7025 25th Ave NW 675,000 675,000
7529 17th Ave NW 489,950 480,000

The big winner is:

1917 NW 73rd St...right around the corner from me. Sold for $32K over asking!

The big looser is 8021 22nd Ave NW: way, way over priced at $699. Took a $185K hair cut....ha ha.

From the "are you high?" files:

that looks like it has been pretty much untouched since the 80's.

Zillow value range is $657-829k, tax assessed $553k .

Went on the market at $1.5mm, lowered to $1.38mm

I figured there would be a flipper behind this, but it looks like the property hasn't been sold in the last 10 years. Maybe an estate sale with greedy heirs?

Check out the kitchen and the landscaping (or lack thereof). Nice view, but my brother just paid this for a bigger house with a better view 2 blocks from the lake in Laurelhurst, and it was was fixed up. This is Phinney Ridge!

Am I missing something?

Here's another good one at 226 NW 48TH ST. Hey, I ripped out all the walls, that's instant equity!!



Selling for 90K more than she paid last april, and yeah, it's going to go to trustee sale here if you don't move quick. She hasn't paid the mortgage in 6 months.
