Kinds of residential real estate in Seattle
Residential property is any real estate that’s meant for people to live in. These types of properties are often located with other residential real estate to form communities.
Condos: Condominiums are individually owned units that are part of a building or complex. Residents pay dues, usually monthly, to a homeowners association (HOA) that maintains the property’s exterior and shared areas. Condos share walls, which helps keep cooling and heating bills lower, and they are usually cheaper by square footage than a standalone house. Condos are particularly popular with retired people.
Single-family homes: Standalone houses are on their own plot of land and generally provide more privacy and space than any other residential dwelling, so they are popular with families.
Townhomes: Otherwise known as “row houses,” these units usually have two or more floors and share walls with other units. Townhouses are popular with busy professionals and others who prefer not to have to do a lot of maintenance and yard work.
Duplex/tri-plex/quad-plex: These multi-family homes often look like standalone houses but have separate units for residents and have their own entrances. They share walls, and sometimes floors and ceilings. They are great for small time investors, and for extended families who want to live close together while maintaining privacy.
What we look for when buying real estate
When we buy a property, We Buy Ugly Houses® looks at a few things:
Market value:
For each type of property, we consider comparable properties in the same Seattle neighborhood as the real estate, whether that’s in Freemont, Belltown, Ballard, or other neighborhoods.
Condition:
We buy houses “as is” even if your property has mold issues or earthquake damage, or if your rental property is behind on repairs.
Location:
We’re interested in residential real estate in Seattle and in surrounding cities such as Tacoma, Issaquah, and Bellevue.
