Interesting Tid Bits

  • Taking reservations for units now to convert to Purchase and Sales in a few weeks
  • Requiring 5% earnest money now with another 5% in 1 year with no contingencies for buyers in the Purchase and Sale Contracts (making the full 10% non-refundable) – it remains to be seen how buyer's will take this as it is not customary here in the Seattle area to require so much non-refundable money
  • Allowing very few customization options
  • Finishes looked luxe in the model home – the cabinet front refrigerator and dishwasher were a nice touch
  • Shorter ceiling heights than we are used to seeing in Downtown condos – only 8'8"
  • Broad views to the west of the Sound and city
  • Nice amenities package for the building residents
  • According to the Sales Team, they have already taken several reservations
  • Grand Opening for the Sales Center will be Saturday 9/21
