 We toured all the latest in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood as well as some other Magnolia homes we have just been too busy to get into before today and the inventory is pretty interesting on both the A Hill and the B Hill. Magnolia View Homes In Decent Price Ranges… Just looking at the mid $600k range to mid $800k range in Magnolia can give you choices with lots of big Puget Sound views. In fact in the low and mid $700k range,there are IMPRESSIVE Magnolia view homes for sale. My favorite Magnolia home on the market right now is in the high $700k range,but has this fabulous 2 car garage off the alley which is modern but was built perfectly to go with the house. The house itself is loaded with all the spaces I personally look for in a home and a great option for Magnolia buyers. Homes in Magnolia do tend to sell faster than Seattle real estate overall right now. This is not always the case,but overall Magnolia tends to be a stronger market force.

Courtney Cooper: 206-850-8841 courtney@courtneycooper.com Just came across my desk this afternoon! Seattle Houseboat lending is wide open again! From Denise Carlson at Seattle Metropolitan: We have great news to share…… We are back online with our houseboat lending program. Below is the update we have made to our program guidelines.  Aug. 2011 update: City of Seattle’s Shoreline Management plan is being revised and will most likely impact the houseboat community in some way. Information is currently being gathered by the City. The final plan will be drafted and submitted to the City Council for approval. Once approved,it will then be sent to the Department of Ecology for their approval. The estimated timeline looks to extend to year end 2011. Details of the plan are uncertain at this time and pertain to various aspects of above water living,including the treatment of gray water and the % of ‘live aboards’ allowed around the lake. There is uncertainty as to the impact on houseboat values any future changes in the SMP may create. Given this uncertainty,SMCU has modified the requirements to the existing houseboat loan program to allow lending in this program as well as compensate for any potential negative impact as follows:
- Minimum FICO score of 680 – no change
- 45% maximum DTI – new
- Minimum of 2 months documented reserves required on all transactions.
- No other program details have been changed
You can reach Denise at 206-398-5581 if you have questions about houseboat lending. Denise also does Seattle floating homes lending. As always if you are interested in Seattle houseboats,please let us know –we would love to show you some of our favorites –both on the market and off.

Magnolia is one of the larger neighborhoods in Seattle,although many do not initially think of it that way. This might be because there are lots of little sections of Magnolia –The Magnolia Village is probably the most popular. It is right on and around McGraw Street between the A and B hills if you are heading West before you hit the Magnolia Bluff. To the North is Lands End East of Discovery Park. Because of Magnolia’s proximity to both the Puget Sound and Downtown Seattle,as well as being South of Ballard,Sunset Hill,and Salmon Bay,there are lots of view homes and many different areas of Magnolia to choose from for these homes. I wanted to focus mainly on Puget Sound and city views. Here are the Magnolia view homes numbers….

These are priced between $269,000 and $6,970,000 with a median price of $1,230,000. The majority of these are priced over a million dollars.
