Value in the Land

Today's blog will focus on two off-market properties, both in southeast Seattle. Both are teardown properties, with primary value in the land. The first, pictured here, is a tear-down house located on S Juneau Street, vacant and neglected. It is blocks to Seward Park, but not far off Rainier Ave S.

It is located on a subdividable residential parcel in the Brighton/Seward Park neighborhood of Seattle (7500sf in a 5000sf residential zone). The owner would like $300,000 for the property. It's tax-assessed value is $285,000. The owner lives in Spokane, and the property has been vacant since September.

The other parcel is located on Rainier Avenue South, right across from the business district between S Charlestown and S Andover Streets. It is a small 560sf 2-bedroom, one-bath house originally built in 1926. It is zoned NC2-40, but the lot itself is only 2580sf. The seller owns this parcel free and clear of any underlying mortgage. It is tax-assessed at $168,000.

It may be possible to actually do a larger development, if the investor were able to buy one of the adjacent properties.
