Seattle Real Estate

Sources

Looking to buy a house in Seattle (or possibly Bainbridge) - anyone have an educated guess as to whether it's best to wait to buy? Some of the pricing on Zillow looks to be cooling off, but every article I find suggests that things are only continue to go up

Stonks only go up. It’ll probably be a while before the Seattle real estate market cools off, it’s still the fastest growing major city in the country, and the only one on the growth list that doesn’t have a high capacity for new suburban development sprawl.

I bought my first condo in Seattle in December 2019, did a ton of research on the market at the time and felt good about it. And since then the Zillow value of the property has appreciated nearly 30%

My POS Seattle starter house has increased $161,000 since we sold last July. Christ. I hated that fucking house.

I just looked up a dump we bought in Leschi in 08, plan was to gut / remodel and build an addition. Never got to the addition, it’s a 2 br 1 bath, with a borderline unlivable basement...bought for 400k. 1.2MM now, for a fucking remodeled shack. The good news is it greased the skids to get us the fuck out of there.

Looking to buy some properties in Medina, Yarrow Point, Kona, and maybe even Aspen. Any message board posters on a football forum have any advice for me?

The key difference, like I mentioned, is that all those cities in TX and AZ have a shit ton of capacity for suburban expansion, whereas the Seattle metro area is largely developed out. It’s a lot easier to increase supply out there

Buy low, sell high...the exact opposite strategy that I have apparently used for most of my “career” in RE...

Marysville and Kent are your options at this point, unless you change your attitude towards marriage @PostGameOrangeSlices .

PM me if you want sugar mama advice.

That's the way I look at my Seattle RE phase. Bought a C minus house that I was never going to like, but felt 2014 was our last chance to get on the appreciation train.
