With strong employers like Microsoft, Boeing, and Amazon, Seattle commercial real estate listings are getting a boost to raise prices near their 2004 levels. The inflow of young technology workers has led to a highly compressed residential and office commercial real estate in Seattle as well as the outlying suburbs of Bellevue and Redmond. This has resulted in a highly fragmented market where housing close to new offices is sold out, while high-rise condominiums in the city center lay vacant. Seattle continues to function as a strong port of call for Asia-bound shipping, leading to a solid industrial property market. Seattle commercial real estate listings are ripe for long term investors with a good feel for the activity of the local corporations.
