You probably know by now that condo foreclosures in well known buildings are going to auction each week.  This week alone, there are 3 units in notable buildings that are scheduled for tomorrows King County auction.  One of the units really caught my attention:

Its a 1 bedroom on the 22nd floor of One Lincoln Tower.  It’s over 700sf with an island kitchen, granite counters, stainless appliances and HUGE views. For those of you unfamiliar with the project, it is Bellevue’s first and only condo/hotel.   Built in 2005, its home to 148 condominiums on 41 floors. Built above the 303 room luxury Westin Hotel in Downtown Belleuve, the steel and concrete building offers, 24 hour concierge, a screening and entertainment room, swimming pool, exercise facility and hotel services (including room service and custom laundry & housekeeping).

The two other buildings pictured above  also have units scheduled.  One at the Meridian (1 bedroom on the 3rd floor) and Belltown Court (1 bedroom on the 3rd floor).

    Realogics/Sotheby’s Project Updates

    1111eastpike 300x298 Realogics/Sothebys Project Updates

    I exchanged a few e-mails earlier today with a contact over at Realogics.  I thought I would share the update they provided on their current inventory.  In less than 18 months their group has acquired a notable amount of units.  I commend their efforts on promotions.  I think we would all agree that everything needs a big red-bow on it right now.  That means that it has to be price, promotions or perceived value that is second to none.  At any rate, see the update below:
