š $10M penthouse goes pending
Is anyone still in Seattle this week, or is everyone squeezing in one last summer vacation? (Unless you have kids in Mercer Island elementary schools, who started today! And here I thought it was criminal that Seattle Public Schools is starting before Labor Day, assuming teachers don't strike š).
We havenāt had much of a break ourselves. Over the past few days, weāve:
- Handed off keys to a gorgeous floating home on the 2031 dock, which just closed for $1.98M (our fourth floating home closing of the year).
- Helped a buyer score one of the few remaining units at Spire for a killer price.
- Guided a client through the unique process of buying a financed Airbnb condo at the Montreux through their IRA. Hit reply if you want to do this too!
Big News out of Park Row: They just crossed $100M in pending sales! What pushed them over the top was a buyer signing a contract for unit #2103 at just over $10M š.
