Million Dollar Homes in Pierce County, Washington

Within the past few days two new million dollar listings have come on the market in Pierce County, Washington.   One is situated in the North Tacoma just above Ruston Way it offers a commanding and panoramic view of Commence Bay across to Browns Point and beyond.  Built in 2016, this home is both modernistic and functional with lots of light and spacious areas. 

The second home is in the Crystal Ridge neighborhood of east Puyallup where is also offers a magnificent view of the Orting valley and beyond to the foothills and towering peaks of Mount Rainier.   Situated on nearly an acre, the sculptured patio and landscaped yard will definitely benefit an outdoor enthusiast.   Yet there is privacy. 

While the great majority of million dollar homes have views or waterfront, there are those simply situated in prime neighborhoods.  One such neighborhood is in North Tacoma near Tacoma General and Mary Bridge Hospital. 

As of this afternoon, May 21, 2017, there are 135 listings indicated as being active.  Of those, the range is $6.9 on the high side and $1.0 million on the low side with a median of $1,388,000.  Currently there are 21 homes with a sale pending and six properties pending a home inspection.  Until actually closed, the final purchase price is not available.  But it is possible to say the most expensive one in either category is listed at $1,925,000.

Of the sold homes in the pasts 180 days, there are 43 listed in the local Multiples Listing Service the NWMLS.  Of those the high is $2.6 and the low is $1,000,000 with a median at $1,162,000.  In terms of the size of these properties, 4,808 square feet of living area is an average and the average cost per square foot is $290.84. 

While most would agree that it’s a seller’s market, in terms of what is available compared to the total number of pending sales, it would seem to be a great time for qualified buyers to be keeping a close eye on the overall market.
