How To Sell Your House Without a Real Estate Agent in Seattle, WA
Been researching a lot about a (potential and hopeful) move to the area. I am glad I came across this video.
I’m glad you found it helpful. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions you have especially if you end up making the move to Seattle.
what's the average cost for a 2 bedroom house on sale
The AVERAGE sale price of a 2 bedroom SFH in Seattle is about $695,000. The MEDIAN sale price of a a 2 bedroom SFH in Seattle is about $865,000.
Good job brother 👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽
Be more natural, less scripted.
Dude this is a total fabrication. There arent ANY good neighborhoods in Seattle. NONE ZIP NADA. Seattle is a 3rd world country and the drugs, crime and homelessness is rampant and ridiculous. Trying to trick folks like this is ludicrous
The city of Seattle doesn't have an income tax @13:41. Are you referring to sales tax?
Yes. I mis-spoke here.
So I was born and raised in NYC; I'm 35 years old and I want to move to Seattle. Thank you SO much for the video.
I hope the video was helpful. When do you hope to make the move to Seattle? Happy to help you get to know the area once you get here.

Lake city most affordable?
Don’t live in lake shitty!
Made this move and already saving up to move back. Seattle is beautiful and I have the highest paying job I've had yet here, but it just doesn't feel right for me. Glad I did it, but it feels like I'm living somebody else's life.
I’m sorry Seattle wasn’t a good fit for you, but I’m glad you gave it a shot and now have better clarity on what you want. Best of luck and let me know if there’s anything I can do to help make your transition back to LA a smooth one.

Happy to discuss if you are considering a move to downsize. I have a free consultation link in the description.

Good information.
Thank you Thomas. Appreciate you watching and giving the video a "thumbs up". Any specific questions I can answer for you?
@@Livinginseattle1 I am looking to the east of Washington and/or Oregon. Am a conservative and want to be away from the Crazies that want communism. Why is it the people that want Communism are the ones that never really examine how communism works for the people Or against the people, mostly against? If you feel that you must delete this post, I will understand.
Interesting, touched the up button but got no reaction from YT.
Costco is headquartered in Issaquah :)
You are correct that it is now headquartered in Issaquah... but it was founded in Kirkland, WA in 1983 ;-)
32 is not half of 49. That’s like 2/3rds of 49.
I'm trying to make the opposite move.
Let me know if you need to get hooked up with a good real estate agent down in LA or surrounding areas. I know great areas all over the country!
This video was posted 10 days ago, but staples in Westwood has been closed down for a long while now. Never thought I’d see someone talk about west Seattle as if they lived there, but not know about west Seattle. Bakery nouveau? That bakery was popular 10-15 years ago, but it’s a background shop now. People know it’s there, but it’s not popular. Next I thought you were going to talk about Godfather’s pizza and skippers as good family restaurants in west Seattle. This guy is out of touch on what people do here.
Thanks for watching. Sounds like you’re quite the WS expert… Would love to see you make an overview video of West Seattle to share with us and hear your take on it. You are right, I have not been to Staples for a while, so I missed that it’s closed now. But even as a West Seattleite, I do still love Bakery Nouveau. What would you highlight if you were going to make a video?
Living in Seattle Washington - Christian Harris, I subscribed because your videos are super cool!
Thank you so much!
I totally forgot to mention Arbor Heights neighborhood in West Seattle in my video. It's such a great little sleepy neighborhood on the South end of WS, starting just South of the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal, where End O' Lyne Joes (one of the best brunches in WS IMO) and Wildwood Market are tucked between the Puget Sound and White Center. Quiet neighborhood with some really nice houses along the water and much more affordable homes inland. Arbor Heights Pool is a hidden gem in this neighborhood as well. Better sign up on their waiting list years ahead of time... or make friends with a member and go as their guest!
Great video! But no mention of Camp long?! lol that’s my bias
Oh man, you are totally right! I love camp Long. Great for a little nature walk through the woods. I never have rented one of their cabins but I hear that can be fun. And Schurman Rock at Camp Long is great too, first artificial climbing wall ever built in North America if I recall (1938).
If you are looking for video editor,l OR Thumbnail designer for your videos, i will do it both for you. Thanks
You need to know how expensive it is. 1800 for a one bedrooom 2200 for a two bedroom. Power went up 3$ a likowhatt to $5 a kilowhat. Gas is most expensive in countries, groceries are almost unaffordable, but if you illegal migrante you go get free medical.
It is certainly is an expensive city to live in and while Seattle has its issues, there are many reasons that everything is so expensive here... one of the big reason is the high demand. People want to live here because of the beauty, lifestyle, recreation, strong job economy, quality of living, etc.
It's not the amount of rainfall so much as the gloomy overcast days -- 250 a year. The LA summer heat is not oppressive, especially near the beach, but even inland it's low humidity. Meanwhile, the SoCal winters are beautiful. The question for the Pacific Northwest is, can you handle so many days without sun without becoming depressed? Beyond that, both cities suffer from the same awful government, condoning rampant drugs, crime, street dwellers, squatters, etc.
You are not wrong! "Seasonal Depression" is a real thing up here in Seattle. Some people even have UV lights to help them get some extra Vitamin D to help with their mode during the long winters... but even with the rain, it is still a very beautiful place, close to so much green and nature.
@@Livinginseattle1 Yeah, I love and hate both places. It would be ideal if only I could afford summer in Seattle and winter in LA -- with common-sense adults running both governments.
@@Iced-D143 I hear you there. The West Coast is beautiful but the condition that Seattle and some of the big cities in CA have fallen into due to their political leadership, has been disappointing and frustrating to say the least.
The apartments here are expensive and seems like owned by the same companies. Ive had a tough time trying to find a place to stay for my internship. The city looks so good tho
Ya, the cost of living is definitely high here, including cost to rent, unfortunately. Guess that’s the downside of living in a beautiful area with so much to offer… Hi desirability.
There’s more burbs than just the Eastside lol. Tons of more affordable burbs in the Valley cities like Renton, Kent, Auburn, Fed Way, Puyallup all the way to Tacoma. Seattle Natives love to think of Seattle as just Seattle & the Eastside lol.
Correct you are. There are many, many suburbs to the South of Seattle and Bellevue and they are far more affordable than both major cities. Should I make some videos highlighting these more affordable options in South King County?
@@Livinginseattle1 definitely do it. The South needs love too!!!
I was there yesterday
And what were your thoughts?
Seattle is fun and close enough to California and vegas for quick weekend trips when you miss the sun

Rest continues to do great work in the Seattle community. In 2022 they engaged with 606 victims and survivors of sexual exploitation. To read their annual report for 2022 follow the link www.flipbookpdf.net/web/site/77d50adfa0128c632c78af0c35bcd8c8f20d39d2FBP26987063.pdf.html#page/1
the weather in Sacramento is way different then seattle its not close. Sacramento is arguably more sunny then los angeles . it rained 2 times as of october 14th since before april has been mostly sunny and dry for 6months straight
I was unaware. I have personally been to much of Southern California and SF but never Sacramento, so I was taking my weather comparison from what one of my Sacramento real estate friends told me... thanks for adding to the conversation.
@@Livinginseattle1 hah yeah driving an hour and 20miutes into san francisco from sacramento is like a different world you go through the tunnel freeway in oakland and come out other side its 15 degrees cooler and foggy. it can be barley 70and cloudy in san francisco and be 105 and sunny in sacramento
Sacramento is VERY HOT.
It's drugs needed
Hard work. Thank you
New job, sorry ❤
How many reached out to you?
Did you get a client?
Any prostitute interested?
Is anyone attracted to to rest?
Me and my wife live in Lincoln park, Chicago. Which is the safest area in Chicago but still have a mass shooting last month. Chicago has too much crazy guys while ride the bus and the tube is so danger which I've never got. So, we don't feel Lincoln park is the safest area like that mentioned(might be cause of Chicago thing) and we always got a bad experience from the black guys. Now we thinking about moving to Seattle. Cause I think less crime, more Asian(cause we are). I agree with you about high cost of living but high quality in Seattle. No income tax is better, same sales tax as Chicago.
Let me know if you plan to move to Seattle. Happy to help you find the right area and home for you.
@@Livinginseattle1 Sure!! thanks a lot. hope to see you in future.
This was very informative! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
13:36 it's sales tax, not city income tax... and that isn't on food or standard groceries.
You are correct... I miss-spoke and meant to say sales-tax ;-)
Is Bellingham a good place to live.
Bellingham is a great college town with lots to do, a vibrant downtown with lots of great food, coffee and drink options. Are you thinking of moving to Bellingham?
@@Livinginseattle1 yes
@@michaelbridges2386 When are you thinking about making the move? Happy to connect you with an amazing agent in "B-Town" as you get closer to getting ready to move to Bellingham.
@@Livinginseattle1 Im trying to get employed there first. I have a background in laboratory technician work.
@@Livinginseattle1 I appreciate your willingness to help.
I’ve been to Seattle about once per year since my best friend moved there in 2015 and I still haven’t even scratched the surface of things to do. Your video will help me when I go back during Easter weekend next week. I love Seattle and can’t wait to move there eventually
That's awesome. Would love to hear about what you end up doing during your visit and if there is anything you recommend I add to my next video on free things to do around Seattle.
Is it yummy? What does it taste like?
Kind of tastes like an espresso shot. What I like about it is that it fully resolves, unlike some of the other "mushroom coffees" that leave a sludge or grit at the bottom of the cup. It's also more condensed (only 4 oz of hot water added, instead of 8-10oz).
To clarify, the "Seattle City tax" I'm referring to in this video is the sales tax rate you pay when buying goods in the city of Seattle, which breaks down into the WA State sales tax of 6.5% + Seattle's sales tax rate of 3.75%, for a total Seattle Sales tax rate of 10.25%.
Going through the process
Let me know how I can help in your relocation to the Emerald City (Seattle) ;-) Contact info is in the video description.
How has the process and your experience been with moving from New York to Seattle?
Have you settled into Seattle yet?
It's me! Just moved here from Gulf Coast Mississippi to West Seattle. Been here a whole 3 days. Can't wait!
Hey!!! Welcome to West Seattle. So glad you finally made it here! Let me know how I can be of service to you now that you are here!
Great overview of Seattle! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching ;-)
Good overall description of the Seattle area, but I think you got it wrong on the Seattle freeze. People in Seattle are definitely harder to get to know and friendships are much harder to establish than in other locations. I'm a NW native (East of the Cascades) and lived in Seattle and its burbs for 25 years. I made less friends in those 25 years than I did in the first year I lived in San Francisco. I travelled quite a bit early in my career and always made more friends while I was on the road than when I was home. I put it down to the Scandanavian roots of many Seattle natives, Scandanavians are fairly reserved and I just think that has trickled into the overall culture in Seattle. Just my opinion...
I appreciate your comment and perspective. I can certainly see how the reserved Scandinavian roots could bleed over to contributing to the "Seattle Freeze.
