Downtown Seattle Condos, Lofts, Homes, and Unique Condominiums

People from all walks of life have migrated to the energetic core of Downtown Seattle, Washington – living in Center City lofts, condos, and historic homes - enjoying the creative energy of the community.

Take David Macarian. The Seattle Times tells us that after his divorce, he drove from the Bay Area to Belltown with a suitcase, rented a place at The McGuire Apartments and then, one year to the day later, bought a top-floor condo at The Ellington, running his medical-technology business in California via the Internet. His annual mileage has dropped from 27,000 to 4,000. He seldom has to turn on the heat. He has a panoramic view of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains. He shops daily in the Pike Place Market. Best of all are the friends he’s made.

“It’s like living in a small town,” he says. His neighbors see each other in local pubs and restaurants. They run into each other on the sidewalk because everyone walks. “Psychologists always talk of the stress created by a lack of a sense of community. Well, this is all erased by living downtown.”

Escala Condos in Downtown Seattle Expect 40% of Sales to be Cash Deals


Escala Condos in Downtown SeattleThe Seattle Times – Chris Stiebler, sales director for Escala, the luxury condo project in Downtown Seattle where home prices average $2 million, says that he has sold four units for all cash. Stiebler says that he and his colleagues expect that 40 percent of the building’s sales will come in the form of cash deals, and 60 percent will include mortgage financing, typical for the luxury end of the market. Stiebler says luxury buyers sometimes buy in cash to facilitate a quick closing. They can always seek out a mortgage or home-equity loan after the fact so that their cash isn’t completely tied up in the property. Photos of Escala Condos in Downtown Seattle.
