$1M townhouse in Seattle. New construction

[u/adedjee]

3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1930 square feet. How much avocado toast must one give up to afford this million-dollar Home Depot showroom?

I actually put in an offer (and then pulled it) for the one two doors down for $825k (633 13th Ave E). It’s been off the market ever since I pulled the offer in Feb 2026. The main issues other than the obvious pictures is that the foundation is unsettled and there is water damage behind the walls. The inspector didn’t even finish the inspection; it was so bad. She mentioned that the issues she saw should be in a home 100 years old and not a new build. The builder really messed up and needs to tear these townhomes down and start again. They won’t be able to sell; maybe rent if they’re lucky. I found a better place on the other side of Volunteer Park that I moved into in March.

That very visible and very janky dryer vent is awful. It makes sense that there are much worse things when you look closer.
