What Is Going On In Seattle Market

“The city estimates the changes would lead to an additional 950 housing units.”

That seems really low for so many zoning changes.

Same-o, same-o…

Um, I’ll take two please…

They think Seattle has a strong Asian culture? They’ve clearly never been to the bay area. I think most Asians from the bay area would be disappointed with Seattle.

I only saw one Asian investor when I was looking at open houses. The property was a mess. It would need completely gutted.

The downtown condo market sucks. The HOA fees are INSANE.

No, we love Seattle, well, I do. The only knock is the rain (for me), but look most people say it reminds them of the Fab 7x7 (smallish, hilly city, pretty diverse/laid back, good eats)

Seattle is like Oakland with bad weather :sunglasses:

Lots of old tired houses with good views. I have water skied in Lake Washington. Pretty cool. Got to have a trawler for cruising up to Desolation Wilderness

Come on, that’s home baby!!!

Demographics? Seattle is nothing like Oakland.

Uh, that is a good thing…

The houses look like Oakland. The downtown is gritty like Oakland.

Have you been recently? The downtown is pretty nice now. There’s a ton of newer buildings.

Amazing what a city can do when the property tax rolls are flush with caaaash…

I am sure it is nicer downtown…I just don’t care much for downtown living…I like suburbs and rural areas more…

I enjoyed the underground tour and around Lake Union.
My friend had a house on Lake Washington with a boat dock…that impressed me way more than downtown…

Seattle is #1 large city to live in.

Oh, come on, how does SF get a 6 for economy while Seattle gets a 1?

Detroit and El Paso are the top cities to live, is it right?

Detroit ranks 45 in terms of affordability. You mean people there can’t afford $5k tear downs?

I think it was based on job growth and income growth.

They ranked the 62 largest. The ones at the bottom are the worst.
