What Sold in Tacoma this Week! 12-15-08

Between the Christmastime Parties and all the Shopping, 27 people found time to close on houses and condos this week in Tacoma! Here is the breakdown:

  • 22 Houses sold. 5 Condos sold.
  • All 5 condos were located at The Esplanade.
  • The average days on market for the houses that sold were 130 days.  Those sellers accepted offers at an average of 97% of the list price.
  • The average price per square foot of sold homes across the whole city was $130/square foot.

 

Update:  While writing this a 6th unit was marked sold at Esplanade.  So that is 6 total.

The problem here is that there are currently 2,199 houses and condos actively for sale in Tacoma.  That number is probably a little low, as I know many of the new construction houses and condos are not on the MLS as builders will just put up a few to represent the whole building/neighborhood.   There are 315 pending sales, which puts us at a 14% sales ratio for the city at large.

Stay tuned for a post comparing the Pricing and Days on Market of Sold Homes & Condos with those of the Currently Listed Homes & Condos!

    Damn…square footage is expensive down by the water. So at the Esplanade, 6 down, how many are left before those $500k, 1200sq/ft condos can go FHA?

  4. boomer says:

    Esplanade has a total of 162-units.

    Those prices are insane for condos in Tacoma. I’m a bit shocked 6 buyers actually followed through with the sales.

    If they ever need to sell in the next 10yrs… good luck!
