Condo sales picking up at Burien Town Square
This article was published in partnership with the Highline Times and was written by Steve Shay.
Until recently, just 19 of the 124-unit Burien Town Square condominiums were sold. However, five more units have sold over the last two weeks, and more are scheduled to close shortly. That, according to the development’s sales team of Tracey O’Brien and Stacy Phipps.
To help promote the development, they are making five “homes-of-the-month” available with no HOA (homeowners association dues) for the first year, ranging from a one-bedroom, 527 square foot unit at $132,950 to a two-bedroom, 1095 square foot unit at $278,950. That will save the buyer about $2,000 to $4,300 accordingly. Continue reading “Condo sales picking up at Burien Town Square” »
