One of the three most sought after floating homes in Portage Bay is available!!! Just listed by floating home expert and Portage Bay resident this is one you want to see.

Designed by architect Gerald Van Slyck in the late 1950s to early 1960s, this distinctive floating home captures the essence of midcentury design with a NW sensibility. Vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, and generous skylights welcome shifting sunlight that dances through the rooms & reflects off the water, giving the space a luminous, ever-changing quality. Outdoor areas frame tranquil Portage Bay views, while the intimate four-home co-op dock offers a genuine sense of community. Includes one dedicated parking space & a 43-foot moorage slip - a timeless blend of architecture, light, & waterfront serenity. Second from the end, this is your perfect retreat from the daily city life putting you absolutely in touch w/ nature at its best. $1,480,000

Love it when my toes coordinate with a boat. Showing an incredible marina in Westlake and saw this cutie moored up there. Are you interested in living on the water in Lake Union. This property has an expansive waterfront home, five office spaces at the water’s edge, and over 40 boat slips (including 8 large end slips!!!). All fee simple. So much opportunity. Shoot me a message for more info.

Love seeing these beauties pop up all over town. Finally. Hated the boring white signs that did nothing to build up what I have worked so hard to build. Seattle Afloat was born over my love for houseboats and floating homes and my lifelong adoration of the water. I have always been a water baby. Today it transcends to a greater reach because the entire region is so water based. The name Seattle Afloat is for land homes too. We all love the water. It’s been around for a couple decades as my brand. And it’s a brokerage now. That’s my big news.

Seattle Afloat has always been my baby and it has come a long way. I have had some of the most incredible cheerleaders along the way that made the toxic things not matter: my beloved floating community of course ❤️. In addition there was the incredible person who taught me to really niche out on what I wanted to sell. I still believe I wouldn’t be anywhere without the genius of him so thank you . He knows it. Then there’s the support of the beloved real estate brokers I love collaborating with and sometimes sobbing to. Rick (💔) and Joyce Miner 🐥🐤, , .c.durkan , , , , and . Stager photographer builders/designers and friends Crissy and Jeremy Fuller at

Anyway. It’s a lot of words to say thank you to the ones who were and are TRUE. I love you. Seattle Afloat is a brokerage because of YOU.

The 2025 Seattle floating home market has been selective, and every sale has taken persistence and focus. So far this year, 9 floating homes have closed, representing 18 transaction sides and $38,585,000 in total volume. Only one of these sides was not represented by a broker, showing how essential professional guidance is in this unique niche.

Courtney Cooper Neese of Seattle Afloat continues to hold a leading position on the lake. In 2025 so far, she has represented buyers in 41.16% of sales and sellers in 30.58%, for a total market share of 35.25%. No other broker working on lake has come close to these numbers this year.

In a slower market, these results come from consistent effort, deep community knowledge, and careful attention to each transaction. Seattle Afloat is built on a commitment to waterfront living and a focus on protecting clients’ goals, whether buying or selling.

If you are considering making a move on the water, reach out for an informed perspective from the broker with the strongest track record on the lake this year. In addition she is working hard to uphold the values in the community in which she lives instead of underpricing and going for a quick sale. Homes are taking longer to sell and that should not be artificially altered by listing something for under market value.
