Seabrook has had a hot summer, and not just from the warm weather.

Seabrook reported more than $20 million in home sales this summer, $13 million from August alone. “

Buyers from Seattle, Bellevue and out of state purchased homes across a variety of price points in the new South of Market neighborhood, the Farm District, Market Street and Elk Creek. At $1.73 million, August rental revenue is up 19.5 percent from last year, making it the most successful month to date for cottage rentals,” Seabrook said in a news release last week.

“When we built Seabrook from scratch 13 years ago, we sought to create a friendly, walkable Washington state beach town combining resort amenities with a community feel,” founder Casey Roloff said. “Seabrook’s incredible sales momentum this summer and its most successful month of vacation rental occupancy confirms our vision continues to resonate with year-round visitors and homeowners alike.”

More than half of the town’s 335 privately owned homes are registered in the Cottage Rentals Program. At $1.73 million, August rental revenue is up 19.5 percent from last year, Seabrook reported.

On Oct. 14, Seabrook will host its Fall Home Showcase. Both new and resale homes will be open to the public and visitors can view progress on the expanding Town Center and new neighborhoods as the town plans to grow to encompass approximately 1,000 single-family homes and units.
