Curious what Seattle Houseboats are for sale?

Current actives range in price from $199,000 for a floating home on a leased dock (not co-op or condo moorage for the house there) to $3,450,000 for a floating marvel complete with parking and about every perk you can imagine except for a more affordable price tag.  Both of these are out of the range of what is normal for Seattle floating homes prices right now.  The median price for the Seattle floating homes for sale right now is $777,000.

If you don't have a friend like Steve and you want to check out the lake by boat, then you should look at renting a great dinner cruising boat from the Electric Boat Company.  Jennifer will hook you up!

Seattle Houseboat Inspection In Portage Bay:  Life Afloat In Seattle

Here is a fun shot I took from one of our Seattle houseboat inspections in Portage bay - it was pouring rain (gee go figure) during our inspecton, but we still had such a great time.  

Chuck the diver and Sid were quite untouched by the cold rain as they went through all the steps of inspecting a Seattle floating home.  

Molly and I helped these buuyers secure this amazing home and we had a great time showing them all the inventory.  Life is awesome around (and on in this case) Seattle's waterfront. 

And yes, the kayak was negotiated into the sale for our houseboat buyers:)

Here are a couple places to check some of our amazing city's homes for sale:

Seattle waterfront homes

Seattle waterfront neighborhood Alki has some interesting homes for sale right now – Both Alki waterfront condos for sale and Alki waterfront homes are included in these listings from the MLS.

If you are looking for a great Seattle waterfront neighborhood, then there are some great single family waterfront Seattle homes in Alki and this is a fun place!  Alki is the original landing site for Seattle pioneers - there are some great historical spots all over Seattle, but I especially like Alki's beach with beautiful views of Downtwon Seattle and Queen Anne.  My daughter and I had a tradition for many years to go collect beach glass on Alki Beach.  It is also a great spot for spotting orcas, watching boat traffic, and even parachute gliders.  There is always something going on in Alki and it has a feel of a charming beach town!

Please let me know if you have an Alki property you would like to sell or if you would like more info on these properties. Thanks!

Lake Washington in Seattle...

Lake Washington always looks so serene and calm in the pictures you see for Lake Washington homes for sale, but the lake is like other bodies of water ever changing.

In fact, yesterday, Lake Washington had white caps on it during one of our wind storms.  Elaine was getting ready for one of her Lake Washington waterfront listings and I asked her to film this on her iPhone - you can even hear the crazy wind we got...

So next time you see a calm nice picture of a home on Lake Washingotn in Seattle like this one, keep in mind that there is also some exciting wave action form time to time - not to mention an entertaining never ending parade of birds and boats!

Downtown Seattle Waterfront:

I can tell that the buds are starting to spring up and  although I think we are in for more winter in Seattle, Spring is coming....

Downtown Seattle is so amazing, but the Seattle waterfront in particular is where dreams come alive in Spring and Summer time! 

I love the slight cool breeze and salty smell coming off the Puget Sound in Sprnig and Summer here. 

It is worth a trip here just to check it out, but living in Downtown Seattle condos or lofts would be just ideal! 

Here are some of my summer shots so you can take a peek at what’s to come!

I got an email this morning and it isn't the first time I have been asked this question:

I was looking at properties on XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX I fell in love with this property. I saw though that under its status it says pending feasibility. What does that mean?

To put it simply, it means that someone has put in an offer on the property, but they want to have a study done to make sure they can do what they would like to do with it before they actually purchase it.

Our MLS has many "Pending" statuses and "Pending feasibility" is usually used for a vacant property while "Pending Inspection" is primarily used for residnetial properties with improvements such as a house.

Interesting side note:  In this particular case the old home had been taken off the property and the land was ready for a new home to be built on it.  The  problem is that the property is a Lake Washington waterfront property and when they took down the old house all of the grandfathered in building codes were lost and any new owner has to start almost from scratch.
