• Thirty’s the Number for Bellevue Price Drops
• NW Seattle Inventory: Bloated 

We’re not subject to Santa Ana winds, nor is there a lot of burnable brush in our urban neighborhoods, but fire can strike – and has devastated – Seattle.

Most people buying homes in a city assume that there’s a hydrant and station house nearby. If you want to know how close, the city has a handy online tool that maps both.

From the Seattle Fire Department’s official web site:

You can locate the nearest fire station and hydrant through the City’s main web site. Go to the MY NEIGHBORHOOD section located on the home page of the City of Seattle web site and type in your address.  Look under “Public Safety and you will see the location of the nearest fire station. To see fire hydrants go to “zoom level 6”. There will be a list of hydrants and the distance from your address at the bottom of the screen.

Here’s the map for Redfin HQ.

My best wishes to all who are affected by the California disaster and heartfelt thanks to our local firefighters heading south.

This has made inventory bloated, bloated, bloated.

The usual rules of supply and demand seem to be coming into play — finally — because prices are starting to track sales figures. The number of single-family homes that have been sold has been on a four-month slump, with median prices in that category leveling off. Meanwhile, closed sales for condos have bounced around a lot, but enjoyed a big spike in September, with an accompanying jump in median price.

There is price growth overall, however, when you look at year-on-year figures. In fact, I’d call Area 705 condo prices red hot, especially compared to the September-to-September gain of 7.57% for all of Seattle combined.

Most of the homes have been recently remodeled, so they’re good examples of top-tier properties in this neighborhood. One is for sale. I’m sure they’d be happy to let you in without a ticket.
