I would like it more if it had a less depressing looking backyard. And brick sucks to shovel snow off of.

The solution is to sit on the toilet, and always have the trash can right next to it. Don’t need the tub.

The Seattle metro is insane. My 10-year-old (at the time) exurban spec home was over 600k two years ago. We’re talking a Potemkin box on a postage stamp. It passes a million for similar homes  around 3 miles west of me and goes up from there.

i think its kinda odd that none of the photos show what the exterior finish is on the two lot side walls. I went to look on google street view and its under construction but look at the cars out front

any idea what the lot bordering walls have for siding?

It’s like a faux farmhouse/mcmodern hybrid. And that hoop skirt light fixture. Gack. Will it get a white Tesla or a white Audi in the garage?

Shit, that place can’t be more than half a mile from my great grandma’s place the family sold for ~ 250K in the late 90s - and that was a fair price then.

The Seattle tax is real. They also built this house:

https://www.redfin.com/WA/Kirkland/30-6th-St-98033/home/166965629

which is in a far better location, IMO, and in downtown Kirkland to boot, and sold for the same amount.

I can believe it. You see that kind of thing in Medina/Points/west Bellevue too - 2MM house with an 01 Camry in the driveway. Plenty of older people who own a house in a rich area but bought in before it became so, too.

How old? I’d guess $750k where I live, well above $1m about 7-8 miles further in, and probably around $2m in Seattle or downtown  Bellevue.

I just have to wonder what is is that people do to afford 2 million dollar homes. I could by house 20 times over for that. Then again 20x my income isn’t that much lol.

Apparently here it gets you a 2200sq/ft main h ouse with, 1 guest house that looks like a light house, 1 boat barn with an apartment, a Sauna imported from Norway, and 14 aces of land that includes 400ft of Lake Superior shore line. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/35780-Blue-Wing-Bay-Rd-Bayfield-WI-54814/229724051_zpid/

This is one of 3 houses in te Bayfield area that exceed 1.5m, for the meager sum of 238k you could have this old farm house, with a guest house, and big ole barn/garage, and Eighty freaking acres.   https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/33790-Old-County-Highway-K-Bayfield-WI-54814/104931170_zpid/

That Greenwood house is extremely stupid but I completely disagree about the location . I’d much, much, much, much   rather live in a nice in- city neighborhood very slowly losing its soul to developers like those responsible for these two monstrosities than in a suburb that never had a soul to start with. There are like twenty   good restaurants at every possible price point and a wide variety of cuisines , a public library, a good grocery store, a hardware store, multiple decent bars and breweries , and numerous locally owned shops within a pleasant walk of that dumb house, and if you have a bike ( much less a car!) you can quadruple all that within, say,  15  minutes. Kirkland is probably the most walkable and least awful of the close-in suburbs but you cannot be serious.

I’m looking at this in terms of dollars and cents.

I’m feel the opportunity for quick equity is stronger at location two though . North Ballard is gentrifying much slower than Eastside (which is saying something). Now, if each home was say $500k, and “affordable,” I’m definitely making better money going to Seattle than Kirkland.

But at  this 2MM price bracket... These buyers aren’t daily commuters. They meet other people once in a while for a cup of coffee and go jogging. In this case, one is much closer to the water than the other. At 2MM, I *have* to eat at the overpriced coffee butt shop on Market St because, what would the neighbors think if they knew I had drip coffee?

I would never leave in Eastside, as a so-called “working man," though I have to admit neither city is really meant for me. Maybe if I had an office down there things would be different.

Pretty.

LOL at the idea of anything in Seattle being a “farmhouse,” though. It’s a nice, cleanly designed (well, except some excessively kitschy caged lighting choices, but whatever) modern house— nothing more, nothing less. Accept your city-dwelling fate and be thankful no one slapped too much gratuitous shiplap anywhere.

In that case I guess I can see it, and I’ll buy your analysis of the likely short-term equity picture (uh, not literally). I completely disagree about the commuters thing though—Seattle has plenty of people that can and would buy a $2-3 million house in the city because they commute every day, enjoy the aforementioned city lifestyle , and don’t give two fucks what their neighbors think of their coffee preferences. All the high-up people at downtown tech, finance, consulting, accounting, and law firms—not to mention all the fancy types of doctors— have to live somewhere.

Right, of course — in Seattle. How many of these (even more) affluent Eastsiders are making daily commutes to Seattle at that price point? Maybe I’m contaminated by my anecdotes as a traveling prostitute, but most of the buyers I work with Eastside work from home — at best. Maybe at worst they’re going to the Microsoft campus in Bellevue.

RPM esq. > Dr. Zoidberg - RIP Oppo 10/24/2019 at 14:59

I’m sure that’s largely true (although nearly all of the people I know who own houses in that price bracket or above, including on the eastside, do commute daily to Seattle, or at least once spouse does--I suppose in most cases one probably commutes to Microsoft or something ). But it’s certainly more true of some areas than others—like, Mercer Island is obviously a lot more convenient to downtown Seattle than Kirkland is. I just meant that the people who buy $2 m houses (and up) in Seattle mostly are daily commuters, and there are a lot of $2m-plus houses in Seattle for them to buy . I suppose we’d all be better off if more people could work from home more often, at every price point.
