March 2008 exhibited a marked improvement for downtown Seattle condo values with the median price rising to $525,000, a 13.3% increase over the same period last year and a 39.6% jump over February.

The good news in property values is tempered by a significant rise in the number of active listings to 343, a 51% increase compared to March 2007. Although pending sales are down, the downtown area has the second lowest decline in pendings at -11%, while closed sales increased 25%. The absorption rate now stands at 6 months.

We had everything from appetizers to dessert plus drinks for four people and the total was under $100! Each plate was better than the last! Fun, delicious, and local.

"Black Bottle is a casual tavern committed to good eating and great drinks, offered at fair prices. Every dish is made fresh-to-order in sharable portions. We have a full bar and hard-working wines, priced to sell. The atmosphere is convivial and uncluttered; a modern design in a century old building. Our service standard is efficient and informal. Come with a largish group or for an intimate evening for two. Cheers!"

Title: Golden Opportunities for Investment Rental Property in Booming Downtown Areas

Buying pieces of the Seattle downtown pie is a win-win for investors and RD House Real Estate & Property Management. It's investing in our future today while paving the road for success for tomorrow.

Many developers are betting that they'll persuade wealthy suburbanites and young professionals to move downtown and be near their favorite restaurants, shops and cultural amenities. As baby boomers see their children off to college, a two-bedroom condo in an urban setting might make more sense than a spacious home on a wooded lot.

I can count at least four projects where a significant portion of the condos sell for $1 million or more. Never before has Seattle's downtown seen so many ultra-expensive condos come online at the same time. We are having to starting change our terminology to Luxury instead of ultra- expensive just to lure prestige tenants because all the new units have stainless steel hardwoods and marble and- oh yes -granite in every unit.

A lot of local market research shows there's a market for luxury condos, and we are watching the telephone ring. At RD House Real Estate & Property Management, investment condo buying is hot! Out of towners want a piece of the Seattle downtown pie, and price in not an issue. Our parking lots looks like a Mercedes Benz and Land Rover dealerships most nights and weekends.

As an example- last week, developers held a champagne ceremony to celebrate the start of construction at Escala, where units range in price from $500,000 to $4 million. Escala is going up at Fourth Avenue and Virginia Street, a short walk from 1521 Second Ave., where units under construction are selling for an average of $1.8 million.

Most Seattlite's ask where is the low end to all this? The pricing "sweet spot" or entry-level priced end of the market is always changing, so the question is, "what's the low end anymore?"

Right now it's somewhere around $750,000 to $1 million per unit. Petty cool for a blue collar town where at one time a billboard once read "Would the last on out of town please turn the lights off?".

In addition, within the past few months, work has begun on a total of 790,000 square feet of office space at two projects in the Denny Triangle area (which was just sold, yes the whole Denny Triangle is up for redevelopment.. I don't have the room to place all the zeros that it sold for on my blog, but it was a lot. These types of investments today will pave the road for the future

Two more projects are expected to get under way in the area this year, for an additional 480,000 square feet of office space. All together, they would accommodate nearly 5,000 workers.

Meanwhile, at RD House Real Estate & Property Management we see this growth in Seattle day in and day out, with great development projects underway with large pools of potential condo buyers and building cranes everywhere. Please pardon our construction Downtown, Bell town- Mid town and South Lake Union, it's our future and it's a big WIN.

"You might cringe at condos that sell for $2,000 a square foot. But it would be twice that in New York," It's still, a bargain relatively speaking, rental rates are steeply going up! Seattle condo Investment it a big yes, and RD House has the expertise to help investors purchase and operate rental properties.
