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.

Do you have a  Laurelhurst view home? Open houses were busy this weekend filled with Laurelhurst buyers on the look out for quality Laurelhurst view homes.  Even the Laurelhurst homes that have non remodeled kitchens and baths get a lot of attention if they have views.  Laurelhurst view homes are in big demand right now!  

Laurelhurst is a Seattle neighborhood East of the University of Washington and view homes are very popular here.  Laurelhurst Beach Club homes are also quite popular compared to other areas of Laurelhurst. Not all Laurelhurst homes are in the Laurelhurst Beach Club Boundaries so let us know if you need help finding one.

 Seattle is pretty amazing!

I wrote a piece yesterday on the Laurelon Condo project and Children's Hospital's desire to purchase the entire six acre 136 unit complex as a way of expanding.  The reported amount of money Children's Hospital is willing to pay is 2.8 times the market value of each of the units - $93 million dollars! 

Now if someone wanted to pay 2.8 times the value of my house, I would sell it in a second and pat myself on the back for the great investment I made, and for most of the Laurelon this seems to be the case.  There are, however, a few long time residents who don't want to lose their home and i have to sympathize with them on this as well.  Here is their argument.

So can the condo board sell your home out from under you to be bulldozed down?

 Maybe!  In 1990 the state of Washington passed a measure which enables properties to be sold if 80% of the owners approve.  This went into effect for new properties going forward and did not touch older properties like Laurelon, so it remains to be seen whether or not the sale can be pulled off.

Interesting - I will keep you updated.
