Seattle Condo Inventory Is Still Historically Really Low
Seattle Condo inventory is still really low right now. Seattle has grown so accustomed to negative or no Seattle Condo inventory that suddenly having six weeks of homes on the market gets people skittish. People are also spooked by the economy rumors. They see a lot of inventory for condos, and suddenly they freeze their home-buying process.
In addition, the valuation between rent-versus-buy has been tough with the market shooting up so quickly during the 2016 and 2017 market. But now, the inventory gives a lot of Seattle condo home buyers choice and the rates equalize the rent-versus-buy conversation.

Recently Sold Capitol Hill Seattle Condos
Over the summer Team Diva sold two Seattle condos on Capitol Hill whose buildings historically had issues selling their units. The 1111 East Pike building was a high design concept, but the layouts were tough for a lot of Seattle Condo home buyers. Meanwhile, the Vertigo had every issue happen to the building possible. The builder went bankrupt, there were special assessments for the roof, it was challenged by the economy, and so much more. In both buildings, the individual owners came together and made changes that had positive financial impacts for them.
1111 East Pike Street Condos
In 2011, Eleven Eleven East Pike won a National Housing Award from the American Institute of Architects. The design of the Seattle Condo is spectacular. Its elegant integration of mixed-use commercial and residential property really is spectacular. And the design notes from Kundig’s process show how even the colors of the exterior were selected to nod to Capitol Hill’s historical roots as “Auto Row.” The original buyers could select the outside paneling of their units from a palette of classic car colors from the 1950s, which gives the building its distinctive, modern-retro vibe.

Vertigo Condo on Capitol Hill
The Vertigo Condo is a perfect example of how far a lot of Seattle condos have come since the great recession. The Vertigo building was a conversion, meaning it was converted to condos and sold for a quick profit. The owners had to endure massive repairs, new roof, and so much to build up the reserves. At the end of the day, they did the work and their homes are selling well above their initial investment. And we freaking love their rooftop deck. The garden is perfect!
