Seattle houseboats offer a unique lifestyle choice for home buyers in Seattle. With only 500 houseboats available, the market is limited and only a few houseboats are listed on the Seattle MLS at any given time. Houseboat prices range from a few hundred thousand to millions of dollars, depending on size and location. Houseboats located at the end of the docks usually command higher prices, as they have better views and proximity to life on Seattle’s waterfrong.

The Seattle housboat community is another undiscovered treasure. Nearly 500 houseboats provide homes in Seattle, and about 10-20 are on the market at any given time. Houseboat moorages in Seattle are either rented or co-op owned. Houseboats on co-op docks are considered more favorable.
Houseboats in Seattle can range in price from $50,000 to many millions, depending on the size, location, and dock. Many of Seattle’s houseboats are one bedroom, one bath homes, built originally for fishermen and loggers. When Seattle installed sewers to the houseboat community, the value of Seattle’s houseboats soared. The least expensive houseboats in Seattle are those licensed as barges. They are purchased with boat loans, whereas the homes permanently docked.
