Dean Jones, principal of Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty says the supply and demand imbalance is most noted in downtown Seattle amidst robust job growth and within unique and inherently limited product segments such as luxury waterfront and high-rise penthouses. “There’s a flight to quality,” he said. “The inventory is dwindling because sales are picking up while would-be sellers are holding out for an expected bounce in values.” Greater liquidity in resale, a gold rush on remaining new construction product and a rise in both interstate and international buyers are credited for the firm becoming a top-ranked real estate office for total sales volume in the Metro Seattle area year-to-date 2012.

Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC today announced the launch of a Waterfront specialty market website, the second in a planned series of branded websites for specialty markets.
The specialized website, which can be found at waterfrontpropertysir.com, matches the look and feel of the brand’s website, sothebysrealty.com, and provides detailed Waterfront lifestyle and listing information and resources. The website enables buyers and sellers to search for the finest properties in this segment and the sales professionals who represent them. It covers a full spectrum of lifestyle types and properties including: ocean and beach, riverfront, lakefront, island and boating. This site was launched with more than $13 billion of waterfront property listings worldwide.
“The Waterfront segment offers some of the most striking photography, making it a natural choice for a specialty market website,” said Wendy Purvey, chief marketing officer, Sotheby’s International Realty Affiliates LLC. “Waterfront is far and away the most searched lifestyle on sothebysrealty.com, so there is a great consumer fascination with this market. We will continue to enhance this specialty market website by adding custom content on waterfront living based on the body of water. For example, the site will convey what it is like living on an island in the Bahamas versus living on a lakefront in Italy or Minnesota.”
