Quite a few of you have asked about the home owners dues for Olive 8.  They are $.55 per foot.  For example, one of the units going to auction is unit #1902 (see below as I have it highlighted it in red).

The unit square footage is 1,586.  Therefore the monthly HOA dues would be ($872.30 per month (1586 x $.55).

For more information on the Auction (See Here)

I received a note from Escala with the following message:

We are proud to announce that Escala has had 70 sales since our launch five months ago and are quickly approaching 50 closings. That makes Escala one of the most successful condominium projects in the past year!

As you may know, we have made some very important changes to our pricing and homeowner dues. Our “take care of the consumer first” approach is leading the way in the Seattle market. The sales are proof that buyers see real value in Escala.

Not to be forgotten, Fiserv and Moody’s Economy.com see Western Washington as the top spot in the nation for recovering housing values. Seattle is projected to rise 25.5% by 2014. If you missed it, see the full article here.

We know that change is good. Maybe it’s time you made a change too.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with the project, Escala it is a 269 unit tower located at 4th and Virginia.  To learn more, see the buttons below:

The Seattle PI.com, has a great system for displaying statistics for their reader blogs.  When UrbanCondoSpaces.com was added to their real estate section online, we were given access their site analytics which has proved to be very helpful.  In a nutshell I can ask the UCS readers on a weekly basis what you want to read about……or I can look at the stats and see what has been the most read.  In an effort to keep UCS relevant, these stats are one tool that allows me to cater some of our content to our readers.

For example:

As you can see below, it’s obvious that the biggest topic in the last few days has been the Olive 8 Auction.  It has been the overwhelming favorite topic over the last couple weeks as well.  So, it is important that I provide content that is garnering the most attention.

I’m not always this analytical, but I do feel that it is important to understand how the information I provide can benefit those that choose to read it.

We also use Google analytics.  Another great tool for understanding a little more about our readers.

So, I ‘m really excited to share that I have just added “The UCS Seattle Condo Map“, to the front page of the blog.   Although it is still a work in progress, I’ve spent long hours placing our logo over each major condo location in Seattle.  On some locations, I have added building descriptions, websites and project reviews.  Most if not all locations have a picture of the project.

This is a great tool when doing your research for your next unit or something that you can share with friends and family.  Check it out and let me know what you think!
