Homes in Capitol View
Capitol View grew in the early 1900s as streetcar lines laid its streets out in a grid. Most homes are Craftsman bungalows from the first half of the century, along with earlier Queen Anne houses, cottages, Cape Cods and colonials, many with wide front porches and spacious yards. Many have been renovated, and some still need work. Over the past 12 months, homes sold at a median of $399,000, according to FMLS.
Three things buyers should know
- Be ready to move. Homes went under contract in a median of 18 days last year.
- Inspect older homes carefully. Many homes are about 100 years old, so plan for a full inspection and a sewer scope.
- Compare renovations. Quality varies, so look closely at the work and ask whether permits were pulled.
