    Green Lake Sold Homes  

    Green Lake in Seattle, Washington is one of the most popular neighborhoods to live.  I’ve been a Green Lake resident for over a decade.  It’s central location means you’re a very short commute to companies like Amazon, Google, and even Microsoft which offers a neighborhood shuttle to the East side campus.  I like Green Lake for the, um, lake.  It’s just shy of a 3 mile radius around the lake.  Perfect for running, walking, skateboarding, rollerblading, biking and so much more.  If you’re a water baby, grab a paddle board, canoe, kayak, or watch the UW crew team practice in the lake.  No motorized crafts permitted.  An abundant amount of grass park like settings surround the lake and if you’re on the northwest side of the lake near the Woodland Park Zoo, grab a game of lawn bowling!  Yeah, you heard me right.  Then take the bridge overpass to the zoo and go check out those adorable penguins at the Woodland Park Zoo.

    If you’re thinking of buying or selling in any real estate market, it can absolutely change on a monthly basis.  For this reason, let’s take a look at the last 30 day sold residential homes and size up the values in Green Lake if you think this is the place for you.

    25 sold homes in 30 days in Green Lake.  The lowest sold priced home was $345,000 for a typical three bedroom 2.25 bathroom townhome in the outskirts of the Green Lake neighborhood.  The highest sold priced home was $1.125M for a beautiful new construction home still a few blocks from the lake.

    If you’re a first time home buyer in Green Lake, I won’t lie; it’s competitive.  What you’ll need to know before even looking at homes in Green Lake is the average price per square foot.  Currently it’s $295.42.  What does that mean?  A three bedroom, 1.75 bathroom, 2,000 square foot home in Green Lake will cost you $519,000 minimum.  Disclosure:  this could mean some deferred maintenance…aka:  a fixer upper.  These all sold quick too…to the tune of 15 days on the market:  from start to finish.

    A great craftsman home in Green Lake

    Just a quick prospective:  I bought my first modest 2 bed/1 bath/ 1200 square foot home in Green Lake home in 1999 for $250,000 one block up from the lake by the kiddie pool.  Wow.

    What’s out there to buy right now?  Glad you asked.  Not a lot.  I just saw a beautiful $1.250M listing on 64th in Green Lake that went like hotcakes.  Others I’ve toured through went lightening fast too.  So right now, there’s 24 rather tired listings.  They range from a townhome that’s been on the market for over 100 days for $289,900 to a $495,000 4 bed/1.75 bath/2,000 sq ft home on the northwest side of Green Lake (aka Greenwood neighborhood at this point) that’s been on for 14 days.
