Have you been sitting on your condo wondering if it will sell in Seattle in 2024? You are in the right place. Just this week Kim received two calls from two different condo sellers. One of the sellers she told to sit on the condo for another year and not sell this year. And the other seller is in our Diva Difference prepping for the market process. 

Selling a condo in Seattle in 2024 is a bit of a mix bag. The biggest reason why is that not every building and HOA community is prepared for this market. In the last year or so there have been huge changes to the insurance market. And lenders expect buildings to be in tip top shape in order to lend on the building. 

The biggest thing you need to do if you want to sell this year is to listen to the advice below and get involved with your HOA community. You need to know the physical and the financial health of the building BEFORE you list your home.

Make sure to read the blog below about the nuances of how to win in this market. But before you go any further you need to educate yourself about the home selling process. The smartest Diva Dwellers are the ones who do a deep dive into each step it takes to sell a home in Seattle this year. 

Now let’s dive into the advice from the team!


Tips From Team Diva on Selling a Condo in Seattle in 2024

Our team got its start on Capitol Hill and condos were our bread and butter for years. We know almost every building on Capitol Hill, Belltown, and in Queen Anne. Selling a condo is not like selling a home or a townhouse. It is a different beast. And many listing brokers do not know the right questions to ask to help sellers diagnose if their building is in trouble. This is key to finding out if your home can sell this year or if you need to wait. 

Below is some good advice from the team on how to sell a condo in 2024. 

Kim Colaprete’s Advice for Selling a Condo in Seattle in 2024

“Be the best property on the market! Look the best, be priced aggressively, and make sure you and your co-condo owners do whatever needs to be done to address any building issues BEFORE you list. Buyers will be cautious and more inclined to buy in buildings with solid HOAs and minimal issues.” – Kim Colaprete

Roy Powell’s Advice for Selling a Condo in Seattle in 2024

“Any condo can sell eventually, but the best ones sell quickly. Let’s meet early if you are planning to sell your condo. We want to make sure the HOA is in good standing and that we smooth all the bumps that could deter a buyer. How do we make your home unique compared to your neighbors? I have a plan for that.” – Roy Powell

Lindsy Russell-Mitchell’s Advice for Selling a Condo in Seattle in 2024

“The condo market is different from the single-family housing market. The first step is to order the resale certificate and compile the HOA docs so you’re ready to send those off to potential buyers.” – Lindsy Russell-Mitchell

Donna Burns’s Advice for Selling a Condo in Seattle in 2024

“Have all of your HOA Documents and Condo Community info ordered ahead of time and available for potential buyers to review. Make sure that you have provided your broker with access to all common areas so that they can be photographed and toured easily. Accentuate the positive things about your condo community and share with your broker the best things about living there!” – Donna Burns

Hannah Wilson-Hillard’s Advice for Selling a Condo in Seattle in 2024

“Order the Resale Documents before going on the market! Once you have ordered resale documents it can take the HOA or condo management company up to two weeks to get them in hand. Having those documents available to send to the buyers agent is a great way to gauge how many serious buyers you have. A serious buyer will want to see those documents before they submit and offer and it is best to have them uploaded and ready to go!” – Hannah Wilson-Hillard

Have you been wondering whether or not 2024 is the best time to sell your Seattle condo? If so, you’ve come to the right place! Selling a condo this year is a bit of a mixed bag. This is in part because not every building and HOA community is prepared for this market. In the past year or so there have been some significant changes to the insurance market, and lenders expect buildings to be in excellent shape before they will lend on a condo in the building.
