Bellevue Waterfront Home Sales Rise In 2011: 2% More Waterfront Real Estate Closings

Sam DeBord -  Seattle Real Estate Broker: Real Estate Agent in Seattle, WA

Home sales on Bellevue's waterfront made another incremental gain during 2011. While the luxury and waterfront markets nationwide are grinding their way back to healthier levels of sales, we're seeing a similar trend across the greater Seattle market.

Sales of waterfront homes on the Eastside increased in general in the past year. Bellevue, in particular, held strong with 50 waterfront home sales (these Bellevue sales do not include homes in Medina, Hunts Point, Yarrow Point, and Beaux Arts which are all sometimes referred to as "Bellevue waterfront homes").

The number of multi-million dollar waterfront homes sold in Bellevue decreased in 2011, with 9 homes over $2 million sold as compared to 12 in 2010. This is partially due to a smaller pool of buyers at the upper reaches of the market, as well as price decreases over the last few years lowering the aggregate pricing of the luxury market.

Eastside Waterfront Homes: Waterfront Real Estate Sales Steady Through October

Sam DeBord -  Seattle Real Estate Broker: Real Estate Agent in Seattle, WA

Eastside waterfront home sales continued a healthy pace in October, with 11 homes sold across Bellevue, Mercer Island, Kennydale, Issaquah, Kenmore, and Sammamish. The eleven sales equalled the number of waterfront homes sold on the Eastside in October 2010, and were just one shy of the number of sold homes last month. Since Greater Seattler waterfront real estate sales usually begin tapering off at the end of the summer, the numbers are showing a fairly strong finish to the height of the waterfront season.

Yesterday was a rare sunny day in Seattle. Here is the fab view from the luxury Bellevue condo we staged yesterday. Too bad we were too busy schlepping furniture up to this thrid floor unit to properly enjoy it!

Unfortunately, this high-end condo didn't look so great on the inside. Here is the living room prior to staging:
