Seattle has plenty of homes for sale. Buyers pulled 3.2 times the usual saves on this one.

This week's #1 pick in Seattle, WA floats right on Lake Union. It earned 230 saves on Zillow, more than almost anything else we scored this week. That is 3.2 times the average save count among this week's finalists, a 220% lift. I already have buyers set up to get an alert the moment a home like this hits the market. A houseboat does not come up for sale every week, and this one is getting noticed.

Why buyers keep coming back to this one

This Cruise-a-Home houseboat was recently remodeled, with new appliances, new counters, and fresh paint throughout. A wood-burning stove warms up the winter, and a rooftop deck makes the summer. It sits in a gated marina with onshore bathrooms and a deli, right on the Cheshiahud Lake Union walk and bike path, with easy reach to South Lake Union and Fremont. Off-street parking is available for a modest permit fee, and the home has already been surveyed. Seller financing is on the table too.

From the listing: “Every day will feel like a vacation in this recently remodeled houseboat! This classic Cruise-a-Home features new appliances, new counters, a new toilet, new electric panel, pex water system, and fresh paint.”
