Sundown over Seattle, Silent Sunday We had missed Sunset, but the skies were still glowing and the day had been fantastic.  Perched upon a high spot on Mercer Island, we enjoyed the final few minutes of an incredible pre-spring day.   Just behind the trees to the right are the floating bridge and downtown sky scrapers.  The Olympic Mountains are in the center shot, silhouetted against the sky.

Sales of Mercer Island waterfront homes have continued to push a strong path through 2011, bolstered by two recent waterfront homes selling in less than one week on the market.  As the general market seems to be saddled with a flat pace, waterfront real estate sales in Mercer Island are up 28% so far in 2011. There have been 23 waterfront homes sold in Mercer Island, year-to-date in 2011.  At this same point in 2010, there had been just 18 waterfront homes sold, and only 8 such homes sold during 2009's dismal year of luxury and waterfront real estate sales.  The number of multi-million dollar homes being sold are increasingly a testament to the strength of high-end sales in the most sought-after communities in Greater Seattle. The two most recent sales of waterfront homes were on opposi...

The Boulevard Estate 4137 Boulevard Place, Mercer Island WA 98040 The Boulevard Estate on Mercer Island received plenty of attention in the past year for its top-of-the-market $32 million price tag, eventually being reduced to $28.8 million. The 7 bedroom, 11.25 bath home was listed on the NWMLS until a few months ago, and was featured on many television news programs as well as print outlets. The estate is truly a unique property, even for Mercer Island waterfront homes, and it's difficult to really capture the scale and quality without seeing it in person. The home has over 13,000 square feet of living space on its 1.66 acre lot. The commanding hillside West Mercer site is fronted by 160 feet of Lake Washington shoreline and deep water moorage for multiple watercraft. A 150-inch flat...

Mercer Island waterfront homes are showing strong sales to start the year in 2011.  Waterfront real estate sales so far are up more than 60% as compared to the same period in 2010.  Thirteen waterfront homes have been sold, including an oustanding month of April in which 7 homes sold. There was a large rush in late 2010 for waterfront real estate in Mercer Island, and those big sales numbers led to slower sales in the beginning of 2011.  If the April numbers show us anything, though, the Mercer Island waterfront is about to start moving along briskly again for the summer selling season.
