Seventeen07, a condominium conversion at 1707 Boylson Ave on Capitol Hill, auctioned off its unsold units this weekend. According to the auction website, 17 of the 36 units were available for auction with bids starting at $95,000 for studios, $195,000 for one-bedrooms and $215,000 for two-bedrooms.

The Daily Journal of Commerce reported today that the auction brought in $3 millions and noted that “all 14 units” were sold. Apparently, the number of units available for auction had been reduced. At 14 units sold, that averages out to $214,285 per unit. No info on individual unit sale prices were provided.

Seventeen07, a recent conversion at 1707 Boylston Ave is auctioning off 17 units with bids starting from $95,000 for studios, $195,000 for one-bedrooms and $215,000 for the two-bedroom units.

The auction, which is being conducted by Accelerated Marketing Partners, is scheduled for 2:00 PM on Sunday, October 19th at Hotel Monaco, located at 1101 4th Avenue. Bidders are encouraged to arrive between 1:00 and 1:30 pm to pick-up bid packets, and will need to be pre-qualified by either Wells Fargo or Countrywide (see auction site for more info).

Seventeen07 was converted earlier this year and has 36 units (studio, one- and two-bedrooms). The auction notice states that 17 homes will be available, though only six closed sales and two pending sales have been recorded in the NWMLS. It is possible the remaining 11 units were sold but never entered into the NWMLS system, or being held for a future sale. At least one unit, which closed this month, is available for rent.

Once touted by its developer as the centerpiece to creating a Kirkland styled neighborhood on the Kitsap Peninsula, The 400, is now heading to the auction block. According the the Kitsap Sun, starting bids will be nearly 60% below the list price. A 577 sq ft one-bedroom unit listed at $259,000 will be offered at a $109,000 starting bid, while a 1,729 sq ft unit listed at $919,000 will start at just $409,000 $500,000.

Twenty-eight units will be available for auction on April 20th at the Kitsap Conference Center. More info on the auction is available on the REDC website.

Luckily for the original developer, he sold the project to a California firm before the project was built. Apparently, he’s still sold on Bremerton’s condo market as the Sun reported that he “plans to build another condominium development on the waterfront, at 105 units, called The 600.”
