Why Should You Think About Moving To Seattle’s Magnolia Neighborhood?

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 05:38:55 +0000

This is why: Magnolia Blvd.. Walking The Bluff in Seattle’s Magnolia Neighborhood:

Usually we like to walk Discovery Park’s Loop Trail or The North Beach Trail, but I wanted to be an urban hiker today in Magnolia. Despite the 40 degree temperatures, after a short trip to REI for warmth reinforcements, we headed off from 34th Ave W straight up the A Hill side of Dravus. I was suddenly reminded of the 4th of July when I hiked up a million stairs from Lake Union to East Queen Anne. Once you go up the hill a few blocks you end up at the bottom of this wonderful multi-tiered staircase which rivals the steps at Golden Gardens. It is an excellent start to walk and really gets your blood pumping. It is also the hardest part and I love knowing that the hard part is over!

At the top of the staircase, when you finally get there, take a second and turn around because this is one of the MANY money shots from Magnolia. Huffing and puffing and catching my breath, I was taken with the lovely view of the Space Needle and Downtown Seattle which seem like another world away when you are in Magnolia. Further West as we kept going, we came across the wonderful Magnolia new construction development of Briarcliff. If you are looking for new construction homes in Magnolia, then these large new Magnolia view homes might fit the bill. There are some interesting floor plans and I would love to show you my favorite. Briarcliff is nestled at the top of the hill with views of both Downtown Seattle and the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.

Keep walking back down the hill a bit going West and you will come to Magnolia Boulevard after passing many beautiful Magnolia view homes all in a large variety of styles, but every one of them beautiful and coveted by their owners. There is a long list of Magnolia buyers who want to live here so if you are thinking about selling your Magnolia home, feel free to get in touch with me so I can give you some good tips on home selling tips and also current information on the Seattle Magnolia real estate market.

Take a left on the Boulevard and walk along the beautifully landscaped sidewalks with loads of charm and endless views all around you. We walked for about a mile before cutting back over the hill to head back into The Village. Magnolia Village homes have a great benefit of being right in the retail heart of this wonderful neighborhood. Magnolia is truly a neighborhood that feels like an island and separate from the rest of Seattle. Most people feel like they are in their own world there and The Magnolia Village is one of the key reasons why.

If you want to see some of my favorite Magnolia homes for sale, I would love to show them to you. This neighborhood has it all and I highly recommend that you check Magnolia in Seattle out if you are wondering which Seattle neighborhood is the best.

This is one of them.

Magnolia View Homes Market Update

Mon, 25 Apr 2011 21:13:35 +0000

Magnolia View Homes Have Some Of Seattle’s Best Views!

Magnolia is one of the larger neighborhoods in Seattle, although many do not initially think of it that way. This might be because there are lots of little sections of Magnolia – The Magnolia Village is probably the most popular. It is right on and around McGraw Street between the A and B hills if you are heading West before you hit the Magnolia Bluff. To the North is Lands End East of Discovery Park.

Because of Magnolia’s proximity to both the Puget Sound and Downtown Seattle, as well as being South of Ballard, Sunset Hill, and Salmon Bay, there are lots of view homes and many different areas of Magnolia to choose from for these homes. I wanted to focus mainly on Puget Sound and city views. Here are the Magnolia view homes numbers….

Active Magnolia View Homes

As for active Magnolia view homes for sale, there are 41 homes for sale in the MLS right now that have either city or Puget Sound views. These are priced between $269,000 and $6,970,000 with a median price of $1,230,000. The majority of these are priced over a million dollars. The average days on market for this Magnolia real estate is 180 days.

Pending, Pending Inspection, and Pending Back Up Magnolia View Homes

There are currently 20 Magnolia homes for sale that have these types of views and are marked as some type of pending status in the NWMLS. These range in price from $285,000 to $1,450,000.

Sold Magnolia View Homes

In the last 180 days, 43 Magnolia homes with views of the city or the sound have closed in escrow according to numbers in the MLS data. These ranged in price from $394,000 to $2,120,000 with a median price of $832,500. The average days on market for these homes was 102 days. Fourteen of these were over a million with only one of them over $2,000,000.

Queen Anne Seattle Relocation – Basic Overview Of The Queen Anne Neighborhood

Sun, 23 Jan 2011 20:20:25 +0000

Queen Anne Relocation: Looking at moving to Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood?

Let us tell you about one of our favorite Seattle neighborhoods, Queen Anne. Queen Anne hill has a long historic tradition in Seattle and the estates here are filled with lovely Puget Sound views and beautiful city scapes.

Queen Anne Seattle Neighborhood Highlights-

The Queen Anne Neighborhood of Seattle is amazing from all angles – on the North slope there are lovely views of Ballard & Fremont over the canal and the Fremont Sunday Market is practically right there! To the East is Lake Union with houseboats all along Westlake, the Bigelow Ave portion of Queen Anne Boulevard, Downtown Seattle views, and more. In the Southeast, the newer QFC is just one of the factors that make this part of the neighborhood score high on WalkScore (my latest Queen Anne contract in this area has a WalkScore of 94!!!).

In the shadow of the iconic Space Needle, Lower Queen Anne or Uptown is full of restaurants, pubs, and nightlife and has the Seattle Center at its heart. West Queen Anne is perched high above Puget Sound and offers sweeping views of the sound, city, Space Needle, Mount Rainier, and pretty much anything else you want to see as it is one of Seattle’s highest hills. Upper Queen Anne is the true heart of the neighborhood and a stroll or drive along Queen Anne Ave North will show you why. This is the heart of the upper portion of Queen Anne and where you can find all of the offerings from local clubs, restaurants, and merchants. One of my personal favorites is Queen Anne Books.

Historical Queen Anne Homes and More:

Queen Anne is one of the original Seattle neighborhoods settled and the history of it is quite fascinating! A stroll around Queen Anne Boulevard is a great place to start. Old Queen Anne Boulevard is a series of streets that form a loop around the top of Queen Anne – a crown around the top of the hill. Many people don’t know about the Boulevard, but it has been around in one form or another for about a hundred years thanks to the citizens of Queen Anne at the time who pushed for it. Queen Anne Boulevard is Queen Anne’s version of the Green Lake path although it is almost a mile longer at roughly 3.7 miles and shares its surfaces with cars. Look for historical sites on the Boulevard including the Wilcox Wall on the West slope, but also notice that there are some of the city’s best views along the way!

Queen Anne Living:

This neighborhood is so livable! The streets of Queen Anne are connected by a matrix of pedestrian staircases (check out Thomas Horton’s map of them here) and sidewalks which lead to the wide array of neighborhood parks, local grocers and shops, eateries, coffee houses, and more. Transit is thoroughly incorporated into the infrastructure here with bus routes all over the hill. If you are looking for a good no car option, than Queen Anne is definitely one of my top recommendations in Seattle, but obviously, with or without a car, it is one of my favorite Seattle neighborhoods!

Elliott Bay Seawall Project Seeks Your Input

Sun, 23 Jan 2011 18:06:52 +0000

The Seattle Waterfront is in for some changes, but the city would like your opinion. From their site:

“On January 19, the Elliott Bay Seawall Project held an open house to share ideas about where the replacement seawall could be located. Take a look at the videos and images below to learn about opportunities and challenges in each zone. Please note that only the introduction video has sound.

Afterward, we’d like to hear from you. Share your thoughts about where the wall should be placed by February 8, 2011. Your comments will help the project team develop alternatives and work toward announcing preferred alternative(s) in April 2011.”

The plans and drawings are quite detailed and cover many different areas along the Seattle waterfront.

Last Day of Seattle Real Estate in 2010

Fri, 31 Dec 2010 20:27:19 +0000

Seattle real estate 2010 is coming to an end as the year wraps up.

The latest 24 hour market recap caught my attention in the NWMLS site today so I thought I would grab it and show you.

This is for all data in the mls which is pretty far reaching touching areas like Soap Lake, WA and Ocean Shores, WA (both about three hours from Seattle in opposite directions). It also reaches up to the border and as far South as Vancouver, WA on the borders of Oregon. Spokane has its own MLS on the other side of the state and I assume it probably hits the other side of the state, but these numbers don’t reflect that portion of Washington State real estate.

The first thing that I really found odd was how many properties were listed in the last 24 hours on essentially a pretty quiet holiday real estate wise. 147 single family homes listed in the MLS as new – I have to assume some are not brand new, but still pretty large number. The second thing I noticed which also was second on the list conveniently is that almost 60 properties came back on the market! This is pretty reflective of the market in general although some of the properties may have come off for other reasons just temporarily (carpet cleaning, plumbing job, holidays, etc.).

Although these numbers do not show it, Seattle area short sales and foreclosures are becoming more and more prominent as we all dig ourselves out of this economic reality. Fortunately, and despite widespread area layoffs, Seattle has not been hit so hard and we still have big growth opportunity compared to other areas.

Going further down the list, 217 homes were reduced in price and 12 were amazingly increased. Almost 500 Seattle homes for sale expired and 29 were cancelled on the market and these combined could be accountable for at least some of the new listings number. Pending homes over the last 24 hours were 124 and 127 homes in the Seattle MLS were marked SOLD. This number can change as some real estate brokers catch up and mark the sold dates on their closed transactions.

I went ahead and put in the 7 day watch here, too, just for reference. Although, I personally think that winter offers opportunities that busier selling seasons do not, it is still surprising to see that more listings went pending than came on the market. Additionally, more listings were marked as sold than came on the market.
