I thought it might be interesting to take a look at two ends of the sold spectrum in the City if Tacoma. I ran a search for homes that had SOLD for over $1,000,000 since January 1st, 2008.
Here she is… Miss Tacoma… The Most Expensive House to Sell in 2008 (so far!)
Most Expensive House in Tacoma 2008 (so far!)
This house was on Ventura Drive in Narrows area. It has 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Bathrooms, and 5,240 Square Feet. It has an inground pool with some pretty amazing views of the water, and an outdoor kitchen.
I guess it's nice... if you like that sort of thing...
It sold for $1,645,000. It was listed for $1,850,000 and was on the market 200 days. There were 7 houses and 1 condo that sold for more than $1 Million Dollars in Tacoma this year. They spent an average of 148 days on the market and sold for an average of 92.5% of their list prices.
I ran the same search for homes under $100,000. There were 38 houses and 5 condos that sold under $100k this year, and most of them actually looked pretty habitable. If you’re curious to see them, email me and I’ll email you a list.
Tacoma's least expensive (habitable) house of 2008 (so far)
This is the winner though, at only $55,300. It sold after 511 days on the market after initially being listed for $121,999. It is 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, with 414 square feet.
On average, homes under $100k sold for 87.62% of their currently listed price and took an average of 119 days to sell.
As an honorable mention I am including this Bank Owned House as well, which sold for $37,500. It’s pretty much a tear down though, so I thought the other one was the more fair winner. It was on .30 acres though, which makes it a pretty awesome deal IMHO.
- Cheapest but not habitable house.
So there you have it! Just an fyi, there are currently 37 houses & 11 condos LISTED in the City of Tacoma for more than $1 Million Dollars. There are also 26 houses and 3 condos listed for under $100k. You looky loos are welcome to email me for a list.
