Seattle Floating Homes Hitting The Market With Gorgeous Weather

Seattle Floating Homes Market Update – Catching Up With Lake Union Houseboats, The Shelby Dock, and Recent Sales1213 e shelby st

There has been some activity in the Seattle real estate market afloat.  There Are FOUR ACTIVE Seattle Floating Homes For Sale Currently ranging in price from $725,000 to $799,000.  They are located on The Shelby Dock in Portage Bay and The Log Foundation Dock in Eastlake.

Seattle floating homes for sale are few and far between and each one is somewhat different or greatly different.  You really need to know what your must haves and would be nice to have list is before you begin looking.  Then, be prepared to adjust that list further, because chances are that your list won’t match anything out there.  To begin with there are only around 500 of these Seattle floating homes. They come in many different variations, but it is rare to find one that truly checks all of the boxes so compromise is common.  There are four Seattle floating homes for sale right now in the MLS.  In addition to these, we know of at least four more that are interested in selling or will be on the market soon.  We won’t talk about these in this article, but please feel free to reach out if you are interested in hiring us to represent you so that you have true access to EXACTLY what is going on in the market.

NOT.  If you want the most money for your property in the least amount of time, LIST IT. There has been a trend for Seattle houseboats sellers to want to pick our brains and learn about the market and try to sell the home off market on their own.  This does a huge disservice to YOU and to your return on investment, FYI.  The open Seattle real estate market is the only way to get the most money for what might be your biggest investment.   We can usually get you more than enough extra in sales numbers to warrant the additional expense of having your floating home sale handled by an actual seasoned veteran who knows everything about Seattle floating homes. We have all the resources at our finger tips, have worked years to have the relationships that you will find vital, and we are Seattle Houseboats Experts.
