ADU open house Wednesday June 14th

May 8, 2023

Our next open house will be Wednesday, June 14th, 3-5 pm

Continuing the trend of detached ADUs with garages will be the feature of our next open house. This DADU features a kitchen and living rooms in addition to the 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and garage. Why are garages becoming so popular for Seattle ADUs? The 2019 code changes exclude garages from the 1,000 sq. ft. allowable size. When every square inch counts the ability to add a garage is hard to resist even if it is only intended to be used as storage.

ADU TRENDS FOR 2023

January 5, 2023

Despite supply chain disruptions, a protracted concrete strike, labor shortages and high construction costs, a record 495 DADU’s were built in Seattle last year. This DADU located in the Green Lake neighborhood sold as a condo in September for $945,000. It is representative of the increasing number of DADUs being build by larger homebuilders for sale. A trend that is likely to continue even as rising interest rates and cooling housing prices slow construction of larger new homes and multi-family projects.
