Seattle houseboats offer a unique perspective to waterfront living.
The “Higher” Costs Of Living on A Seattle Floating Home:
Many Seattle floating homes buyers are misinformed as to the cost of living on these. Yes, dollar for dollar as far as square footage goes, there is a premium, but compared to other Seattle waterfront homes, this seems irrelevant. The interesting part is that the cost of actually living in a Seattle floating home is significantly less than a land home once you purchase it. The taxes are less and the dues cover a lot of the utilities you would pay more for in a land home. For instance, the taxes on this Seattle floating home are only around $2000/year. In a land home, they would be $3000 or more easily.
