This is what some developers are having to do to survive in certain sub markets of the Seattle metro area. Downtown Bellevue is overbuilt with condos so they are converting to apts. However, downtown Seattle continues to sell its condos albeit very slowly.

Another interesting factoid I learned about this market last week. Foreclosures are much worse in the suburbs than they are in the city of Seattle. I have suspected for some time that Seattle is becoming like SFO......the city is stronger than its suburbs and housing prices tend to be higher.....an unusual characteristic in this country.
