This Queen Anne foreclosure on the south slope with sweeping views of Downtown Seattle, Elliott Bay, Lake Union, the Cascade Mountains and everything in between, is so big it took me almost 9 minutes to show it all too you! But it’s worth every minute of the video. Why? Because this house is priced at about half off what it should be priced at! YEP! HALF OFF!!! At $1,217,700, that’s a big discount! Now you’re wondering, what’s wrong with the house, right? The answer…one broken window. That’s it! Everything else is in move in condition!

With 5 bedroom suites (4 of the 5 bedrooms have their own attached full bathroom), and 5.25 bathrooms, this Queen Anne home aims to please! It’s approximately 6870sqft, plus it’s 4 decks, provide sweeping views from just about anywhere in the house. Yes, the house may be large, but thanks to your own private elevator, you won’t always need to use the stairs to get around! The 30 foot tall entry, with it’s show stopping chandelier, greets you as you enter the home. Then you make your way into the top of the line kitchen (you’ve gotta see the kitchen in the video, it’s pretty amazing), with it’s sub-zero fridge, built in espresso machine, and dual ovens, will make entertaining a breeze. The living room and dining rooms are large and surrounded by walls of windows. There’s also a deck right off the kitchen for easy outdoor dining.

The top floor includes your own personal library/sitting room, you huge master bedroom suite (with sweeping views – imagine waking up and seeing the Space Needle and Mt. Rainier staring back at you every morning). The spa like master bathroom has a large jetted tub, dual sinks, a large walk in shower with dual shower heads, a huge walk in closet, and it’s own private toilet room. In addition to all of that, this floor also opens up to an amazing huge deck overlooking all of best Seattle has to offer.

I have to share a new house I just listed today up in Everett near Silver Lake. Check out the website I made for the house: 9900-31stAveSE.com. On the website, you can see the HD video tour, the custom for sale sign the made for the house, and a map I create to show off all of the local amenities.

Please pass it on to a friend if you think it might work for them. Thanks!

Ok, so I know you know someone who would want to buy a condo in North Seattle for just $600/month (including home owners dues, taxes, and insurance). It’s about 610sqft big, and it actually does have a bedroom in it (it’s not a studio). Now, you might be thinking to yourself, “610sqft! That’s nothing?” Wrong. 610sqft doesn’t mean the same thing it used to. Think about it. Back in the day, your tv had a big tube sticking out the back, and you needed to put it in an entertainment center, or at least on a table to hold it up. Your entertainment center would take up an entire wall, or at a minimum a large corner of the room. Today you just hang your flat screen on the wall like a picture, leaving more open space for seating and other furniture. In this same vein, think back to your old cd player (or even tape or record player), and how big your stereo and speakers used to be. That had to go somewhere and sit on some sort of furniture item too. Today it’s all on your phone or on your ipod. All you do is either play the music right off your phone, or dock it into your docking station with built in speakers (which takes up less room than an old land line telephone). Speaking of a land line telephone, who has on of those anymore? Now that most people only carry around their cell phone, no one has the need to have a land line phone sitting around, taking up counter or table space. All of this “stuff” that used to take up so much space has shrunk, and because of this people don’t need as much living space to hold all of that “stuff” anymore. 610sqft today is larger than what 610sqft was just 5 years ago. It’s weird to say that, but I hope you understand the point I’m getting across.

How much do you pay in rent each month?

Could you live here for less than your current rent? Do you think your landlord would guarantee that he won’t increase your rent at all if you promised to live there for 30 years? No? But what if you made every payment on time each month, and took care of the place? Still a no? Well, if you bought this condo today you could have it paid off in 30 years by paying just $600/month. What do you think this place could rent for in 30 years? Do you think rents will go up or down between now and then? Even if they stayed the same (they won’t), wouldn’t it be nice to have $600 (or more) coming into your pocket each and every month once it’s paid off? What could you do with and extra $600 each month?

You hear it all the time, but this time it’s really true. At this price, I don’t think it will last very long. Who do you know that this might work for? Push the share button below to pass it along to a friend.

UPDATE! PRICE DROP – NOW $259,500!

Motivated Seller! This seller wants this place gone! It has dropped its price by $15,000 in less than 30 days on the market. That’s almost 6% less than it’s original listing price! That’s a big chunk at this price range when you realize that most sellers are already factoring in that they’ll need to cover 3% of the purchase price towards the buyers closing costs. In essence, this is a 9% price drop, for a house that has the ability to easily add equity with a little sweat equity, in a very desirable neighborhood close to shops and restaurants. Watch the video below for more information on the house. You don’t want to miss out on a deal like this.

I’m featuring this 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house in the Wedgwood neighborhood of Seattle on DealsInSeattle.com because of it’s space, price, and location. Let me explain the reasons:

1. Space – 3 bedrooms. Two of the three bedrooms are pretty large for this price range and neighborhood. The floorplan works well, and there is room to expand the house in the future if you wanted to (this is the kind of neighborhood that could support a house expansion). Parking will never be an issue, and there is a carport to protect your car from the rain and leaves.
2. Price: Now just $259,500! (Was $275,000!) It needs come cosmetic work done, but that seems to be all it is – cosmetic. Add your own style with new paint colors, maybe some new carpet/flooring, and maybe an Ikea kitchen redo (at some point down the road), and you’ve got yourself a nice looking house that fits your style!
3. Location: Wedgwood (often spelled WedgEwood – probably the most misspelled neighborhood in Seattle!).  Take a look at the map below to see where this great little neighborhood is located. Wedgwood is a very desirable neighborhood to live in. You feel far away from the hustle and bustle, but you are actually so close to all of the action. Nearby are two fantastic parks – Matthews Beach Park and the much larger Sand Point/Magnuson Park (a great park that allows dogs to run free!), the University of Washington, and Northgate Mall.  This house is within walking distance to buslines, is close to shopping, grocery stores, and local restaurants. For more info on Wedgwood, check out this link to wikipedia.

This Maple Leaf home is a steal at just $299,950! With 3 bedrooms, 1.75 baths, and a huge family room (which was a house addition within the last 5 years), plus an unfinished basement with tall ceilings and a pretty amazing workshop, you have the ability to buy a house (not a townhouse!) in a very desirable neighborhood, and have the ability to add value and make it your own at this price. There are a few minor things that need to be done here and there, but for the most part it’s ready to be lived in. Coved ceilings, curved archways and solid wood doors are just a few of the details in this home. The yard is large (6300+ sqft), and the neighborhood is highly desirable. Plus, you’re less than a 5 minute walk to all of the shops, restaurants, and other fun amenities on Roosevelt Way. This is a home you need to check out in person to truly appreciate. If you are interested, call or email me. If you know anyone who wants a large workshop, or who might just be interested in this house, please pass this on. Thanks!
