The beautiful landscapes of the Pacific Northwest aren’t complete without our water views. From in-city waterfronts along our lakes and the majesty of the Puget Sound, to Seattle’s iconic floating home communities, there’s nothing like finding a piece of waterfront to call your own.
They are some of Seattle’s most unique and recognizable homes, and there’s only 500 of them. Last month, team member Enrico Pozzo—an expert in all things floating homes—led a tour of Lake Union and the homes that top its waters. Skippered by Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty (RSIR) CEO Dean Jones, our team was joined by nearly 40 of our RSIR colleagues and a few guest brokers from our affiliates in New York and California.
Our client’s Westlake floating home closed at $1,150,000! It was a pleasure working with them and we wish the new owners the best of luck in their new space.

Earlier this week, Sean Keeley from Curbed Seattle asked readers, “how good are you at guessing the price of floating homes?” in his latest Pricespotter feature. In an effort to “counterbalance” the slough of “smaller floating homes [to] hit the market in recent weeks,” Keeley selected our Westlake Floating Home, a 2 bedroom/1 bathroom home situated over 1,630 square feet.

In the Seattle region, total units sold are a bit down from this time last year (32 in 2015 vs 20 in 2016) but the markets in these areas tend to be comprised of a few large sales rather than a greater quantity of more middle-priced options.

I am pleased to share the newest edition of the Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty Waterfront Report, containing information on home values, sales trends, and market activity throughout waterfront locations in the Puget Sound region. This updated report includes data for the first six months of 2016, from January 1-June 30, and compares that data to the same time frame from 2015 and 2014. Overall, we are seeing a higher average sales price and decreased days on market driven by rising competition for available homes in an environment of lower inventory as sellers wait to see how high their home values might rise. As a company that specializes in waterfront property, we seek to aid you with your future home buying and selling by being a consistent and reliable resource for this desirable lifestyle.
