What $1 Million Gets You In Seattle | House Hunting for My Next Property! 

it makes me so happy that monica can show shelby houses now as a realtor... so cool!

the modern townhouse, while not my personal style, is beautifully done! and that rental unit is gorgeous!

Wow! What a lifestyle at such a young age. Both of you sisters are blessed!

First place Shelby: “it only has one bathroom” Monica: “look, she said she wanted a project.”

The town house is great but bedrooms are tooo small for the price paying for. The fact that it has that extra appartment that you can rent out is great. Great to see you and Monica together again and having her to be your realtor. Dont be rush. You will find the right house and you will feel it at the first moment. Get a fixer upper and turn it into a home but pay less. While you were in New York Monica send you pictures of a house that had a studio in back yard. That was a great house.

Shelby's requirements: "But can it fit a hot tub?" :) I like this series, also the "interview" style was different and a nice touch. I'm excited to see what kind of properties you will tour in other cities. I feel like you are more comfortable in warmer weather but I understand the attraction of being close to family. Happy hunting!

Wow wow wow ‼️ ‼️

The condo was sooo nice! Especially living alone, it is nice to be in a super secure building and have access to all of those HOA amenities -- makes you feel far less isolated.

You are SUCH a good videographer and film maker. Honestly. This translates just like an HGTV show. The premise is clear, you looking and commenting positively and negatively is interesting and fun to watch. Shots, audio, b-roll, story telling, everything is on point. Very well done.

I love house hunting videos! Especially with all the details like neighborhood and price. Can't wait for the next one. Oh and I LOVE that Monica is your realtor! I love you both. ♥

So happy for you both, and super nice to see you together! You are both so loved and appreciated too! Both of you are good people and deserve it!

Hey Shelby! I really enjoy this style of videos. I like how Monica is showing her realtor side of things. My favorite was definitely the sky rise condo. I feel like the view would be a huge interest point for tourists and it seems to be in a well located area. The townhouse gives me more of a settle down type of vibe. It’s a 10/10

Ahhhh seeing you two together brings back so much memories from the collab channel you had way back when!

My heart dropped when she said budget was $1m. And even more when the first townhome was around $600,000 😩😩. You’re a really huge role model to me, I sure wish one day I can afford a nice home in a nice city that I love.

Great job, Shelby!!! We love you so much 🙌🙌🙌

I think a two bed two bath condo suits you best imo. Since you are young and like to travel, condos are easy to shut the door and leave for awhile. Add in the amenities, and everything is walkable downtown, you'd probably love it.

Perfect upload without any doubt.....Such a charming video. Thank you for being there for us!!!!

Pro-Tip: Hot tubs - go for gas-heated tubs. Why? They heat up so quickly (10 mins) that you really don't get tempted to just keep them on all the time. Much, much cheaper to own. You're Welcome!

Three things: 1) it's amazing you're investing in real estate, it will make you super-wealthy in the long run; 2) Monica is an awesome real estate agent, good for her; 3) the last house is soooo great. I mean, $1.4m is what, $5,000 worth of mortgage plus extra expenses, so $6,000 or so? If you can rent out the basement for $1,500 and two bedrooms at $800... It's an excellent deal, imo.

NO - Seattle is full of stunning older homes with tons of walkable neighborhoods - Ravenna, Wallingford, First Hill - you know, you grew up here! Actually after watching the video w/ your dad, I found out you guys grew up closer to us in Federal Way! We were on S 380th Pl near Wild Waves for over 25 years -now in Tacoma which also has tons of gorgeous older homes! I'm sure your family would love to have you back - but please remember how gross the weather is here :/

Such a great video! So much insight from you guys. That last place was amazing 🙌🙌

Sister-Sister collab! Great teamwork! 1:46 Kerry Park! Love that view. I like the last one..modern townhouse

Loved this video! The interview style made it look like an episode of house hunters

Bezos poster in the communal area makes the apartment a hard no for me.

Love this new video! Can’t wait to see more house tours in the future. I’m a big fan of finding an outdated single family home and making it your own!

Wow!! I’m subscribed to both of you and I LOVE videos like this one when you two are together! :D

I love this kind of video and can’t wait to see more about the decision and your next project!

I’d definitely choose the last one, the new town house with the roof top. If you rent out that bottom unit it would help you pay off the house faster even if you only rented it while you payed the mortgage.

Keep on inspiring people Shelbs! Good luck on your next project house!

I always love looking at real estate videos, especially when I'm not the one having to pay! ;) Can't wait to see where you end up Shelby, thanks for taking us along on the ride. :)

Totally love the third option!

Love the video! Can’t wait for the rest of the series!

My brother and his wife bought their home in West Seattle in 2009 for $250K, then sold it in early 2020 for well over $700k, around ~$100k over asking price, with two dozen offers in the first few days. The Seattle market is insane, but I moved away in 2011 and would never go back lol. I like having my own parking spot/driveway.

I love this real estate touring type video with you and your sister. Hope you do many more! As for my opinion, I would definitely do the condo tower but with a 2 bedroom (for office space) with a bigger living room on a higher floor. Love the clean modern style, huge windows, the city conveniences, condo community feel, the shared amenities and the safety/security. The townhouse although it had more space, the half windows and windows without views, levels and rooms setup and area I did not like. Can’t stop thinking about Dateline NBC break in scenarios when at that property. Would def not live alone there.

I love the casual “budget’s around a million”

you guys are definitely the coolest sisters on youtube! always so fun/enlightening watching both of yours' investment journeys - really appreciate how transparent you both have always been :)

Of the 3, the expensive townhouse is the best imo. Since you're leaning toward a fixer, you should check out West Seattle because you travel a lot and its only 10-15 from the airport. The bridge is reopening this year and light rail will be there eventually making it a great investment.

Maybe Shelby should look for a place in South Carolina where Sam is from? Just imagine what $1 million can buy there?

The townhouse one (first one) looked so cute and nice!

You're video portrays Monica's professionalism beautifully 👌👍

Loved this topic and style of video! More of these please!

hah big brain move ;P her budget can go up every time she releases another video about her house search!

That last one is gorgeous; it would be a dream come true to live in such a beautiful and open space. The lack of a real yard would sting a bit, but that rooftop is amazing, though I'd want more privacy than that, so I'd have some kind of screening or lightweight optical barrier put up around at least half of the space, so that I could be up there in the open air without being visible to literally everyone within five miles. (But I'd still want to take in the view when I wanted, so either part of it isn't enclosed like that, or the parts that are have retractable sections that I can move aside to open it up when I want).

Love love love this house content Shelby!!

Existing to see what home you will pick. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰

ooooh buy #3 with monica. the modern townhouse. you guys could sell the other seattle townhouse and use the capital to buy this one. and still look for a fixer upper

You inspire me so much as an investor, female boss babe and so much more. Love this series🙏♥️

i love the new condo but with the size bedrooms of the townhouse (the 2nd one). this was a really cool video shelby!!

I loved the modern Town house and the condo.

I love the last one, it was so stunning! If it was me though, I’d probably go with the first one just because you could personalize it to how you want (esp for the price) and the yard space was so nice!

Really enjoying this type of series, from Vancouver btw, so housing prices are outrageous.

i love that large square window in the primary bedroom

best collab ever i loved this vid

Next up: Love it or List it, where Shelby is the overzealous interior designer, and Monica is the pessimistic realtor😂

#3 modern townhouse is what I see Shelby in. I myself would like #1 townhouse.

Keep on looking. All were great properties though!! Crazy how expensive Seattle is now, beautiful city!

yes to the seattle content!!

Have loved watching your videos time to time and seeing you move - weird to see you filming here in seattle! all the best

The 3rd house looks amazing but I think for when you are right now, the condo is great. It's in a more busy neighborhood, great ammenities and then later you can move to a house if you decide to stay

I love the last one!

I love how this video is filmed

"I really trust her taste. I feel like she'll know what I like." For some reason this statement made me giggle, seeing that she is your twin.

Good video, also love the family resemblance, you go qweens.

The newly built town house ( 3rd one) is a great choice.

What a coincident! We actually tour the exact townhouse as the property #3 in your video back in Feburary! It was geogours!

the last one was def my favorite!

The modern townhouse is INCREDIBLE😍

The townhouse no doubt! Seems like it would be an amazing home and a great investment

The last one was my favorite!

Looking forward to the next videos like this. Pretty cool. I would probably go for the last town house out of the three.

"Budget's around a million." is just such an insane sentence to hear. I cannot imagine. Lol I'm in on Property 3, too.

We just went through house hunting this past month. We viewed that SPU spot as well. It was a cool place for sure! You did a better job at showing it than the Redfin pics lol. It's a brutal market, but it's getting better out here. Good luck!

Definitely keep looking. I'm further north in Snohomish county, but I have a beautiful home.

Loved this!

I love that you said primary bedroom not master. Thanks for being conscious of your viewers. Love the 3rd one!

love these videos. I really like the condo

This video was soo cinematic & so well made. Love it ☺️💙 great job Shelby, can realllly see the effort 💯

Shelby Church we love your videos! Very informative as i am looking for a place in Everett possibly.

I think I would keep the 1.4 million one because it’s a great investment property and if you think about it, it will end up being as cheap as the condo in the long run. Also, if you work from there you can put that in your taxes. So it’s a win win.

I love all of them and if money wasn't a factor in my decision then I would choose the 3rd one. If the price was a factor I would probably choose the 2nd one over the 3rd.

The last one is super nice!

it's so cool to see Monica as a realtor in action

I'm so glad this is part of a series. Loved it!

I would choose the modern townhouse for sure!

Yes, having Monica as ur agent would def bring benefits! hoping to see more content like this

These prices are bonkers compared to where I live. You would probably like the Portsmouth NH scene. Lots of restaurants, sort of an old time NYC architecture, on the ocean, an hour from Boston. Also no state income tax and no sales tax! One of the perks of living in NH.

RU-vid recommended your video. Thanks for taking us on the journey! I'm a sucker for real estate :)

2nd condo reminded me of your NY stay inside when you went to the new place, the minimal look with large windows

The reno town home would be such a nice option, having such a "low" price and then having more money to be able to make the space your own is priceless to me.

They are all such good options! I would go #3 if money wasn't a factor, but then number #2 if money was a factor. The condo is super cool, but I would want at least 2 bedrooms for an office/guest room space.

Hope you go back to Seattle! Fremont, Wallingford, or Ballard might fit the bill for you? Crazy how $1M is what goes for a starter home in some cities.

Another good video. For me, a condo with two bedrooms and two bathrooms would be best option. Maybe such a unit will become available in the same building you filmed or in another building. We live in New Orleans in an older building in a 2br/2barth condo we purchased in 2014. Our condo rules only allow long term (1 yr+) rentals. The building has gated entry and is very secure. Security is important to us since we enjoy traveling throughout the year and never worry about leaving the condo for extended periods of time. Hope my comments give some food for thought. Good luck with your search.

Great video. I would personally go for the condo because that’s enough space for me and I enjoy the community aspect.

I would keep looking…loved the natural light in all of them, but at the end of the day, you have to ask yourself. How do I live and what do you need to determine what home suites you. If outside green space is important, then keep looking. That would be important to us. Even here in CA, we chose a home across from a park with a premium lot size because at the end of a long day or week, it is nice to sit on the patio and have an adult beverage while the dog runs around the yard or work out in the yard freshening up the garden and flowers. Good luck with your search❣️

The last one because of the bottom unit. The bathrooms were on the dark side. For small bathrooms I like light oak cabinets with a horizontally grain with a white Caesarstone counter top. Mirror with a light built in.

Must say loved the condo!

I really enjoyed this episode.

I love how casually you say "oh, around $1 million" 😅

The modern townhouse for sure I would take!

my favorite is definitely the last one
