Thinking of Selling Your 2200 Westlake Condo?

Jeff's Take
What I Tell Sellers at 2200 Westlake
Every 2200 Westlake seller I meet asks the same first question: "What is my unit worth?" It is the wrong first question. The right first question is: "Who is most likely to buy my unit, and what do they need to see to pay the price I want?" That changes everything.
2200 Westlake is a large building with 259 units, which sounds like a negative for sellers (more competition) but is actually a positive when positioned correctly. Large buildings have current comps, meaning buyers and their agents cannot plausibly argue your price is speculative. Your job is to stand out within the building, not to re-argue the market.
The goal is never to "list and hope." It is to position, price, and distribute with intention. When those three elements align with what 2200 Westlake actually offers the Seattle buyer pool, the listing typically sells at or above asking, and inside the first 30 days. That is the playbook.
