Charts to Come! Starting with Downtown Tacoma Area Condos…

I was having a delicious breakfast with some friends at Puget Sound Pizza this weekend, and this blog came up in conversation.  

“I never read the numbers and stuff” my friend said. 

“But the numbers are the most interesting part!” I exclaimed in reply. 

So, in an effort to make my boring numbers more entertaining for you, I am learning how to make graphs and charts online.  Here is my very first one:

I know it’s a little dry, but bear with me.  I’ll get better at it! Hopefully this will make some of the dryer data a little more digestable in the future.

Happy New Year, Tacoma! Wait…. Where’s the Party?

 

One of the best things about living in the City of Tacoma is that you are close to the action on a night like New Years Eve.  

The Weekly Volcano’s SPEW Blog has put out a list of the best places to Party tonight.  You can find THIS Realtor at The Mix on 7th & St Helens, but from the look of this list there are lots of great places to celebrate.

Don’t forget to designate or Cab it home, and have a very Happy New Year!

This might sound a little strange, but sometimes I get a little attached to certain properties.  That happened with Unit #401 at Cliff Street Lofts.  A 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath Loft with 14 Foot Ceilings.  

What I loved most was that it was on the corner, shaped like and “L”  so there was TONS of light and a really open feel.   The angle meant you had a view of both the port AND the mountain.  I showed it a few times but did not have a client that clicked with it the way I did.

It sold for $174,000 and closed today.  I hope the new buyer loves it as much as I did! Pictures after the jump.
