It definitely generates immediate negative feelings when they leave it out, but if it looks good otherwise, I just go look it up on the parcel viewer. In fact, even if they do have sq ft, I look it up on the parcel viewer, because I'm pretty adamant about getting 2000 non-basement sq. ft, and the county records are the only place that splits sq ft out by floor.

How about ? At $767/sq. ft., it's marked down from $907/sq. ft. It's been 3 months since the last price drop.

I used to live in that bldg. It was a great place to be a renter in the early 1990s. I'm pretty sure this unit would have rented then for about $1500/mo. Now you can buy it for $1.1MM, plus pay $1150/mo in dues & taxes.

That Queen Anne condo started at $1.3M - it won't sell unless it drops another $200k or more; especially given a DOM of 273. It's kind of funny but you can get a SFH for close to the price of a condo given the price per sqft differential. This house () is on the west side of the south slope of Queen Anne. It doesn't have a view but I bet you could get one with the difference (~$260k).

Just your standard, run-of-the-mill

445K last year, 729K today.

Drop some carpet in the basement so you can "double" the square feet,


add some shiny appliances,


and profit!


I can't believe the flippers are still playing this game, or trying to.

In case of fire please exit via Hobbit window...

indicates a square footage of 1950 even with a finished basement ($25k worth of labor and materials tops). Above grade (appraised higher) is 1170 sqft or $623/sqft AGLA. Good luck with that in Ravenna.

Apparently my flipper bud realized $500 wasn't going to cut it, and decided to take $10/hr. He hopes.

Price down to 309K.

Such is the power of granite!

is the $425K 2br Bellevue condo of (apparently) the person posting comments on seattlepi.com about how they will absolutely not drop their price, due to Bellevue's future growth prospects. Check out the sales history, price drops so far, and days on market. Ouch!

I'm bullish on Bellevue myself, but even I don't think this place is worth $425K. Especially not when a real house can be had for less, elsewhere in Bellevue.
