What Sets Pierce County Apart?


In Pierce County, where the allure of panoramic landscapes meets the strength of major employers like JBLM, MultiCare/Franciscan, and The Port of Tacoma, the real estate narrative takes a unique turn. Despite being a mere stone's throw away from King County, our average sold home price remains an enticing 46% lower.


Why We Anticipate an Active Market:


  1. Robust Employment Base: The stability provided by major employers ensures a resilient housing market.
  2. Natural Attractions: Boasting abundant parks, captivating vistas, and recreational opportunities, Pierce County stands out as a desirable residential haven.
  3. Strategic Location: Proximity to freeways and abundant natural resources enhances the county's appeal to prospective homeowners.


Market Snapshot: Pierce County Real Estate in Q4 2024


While the broader market reflects a 45% decrease in sold residential units compared to Q4 last year, an intriguing landscape emerges. Twice as many homes now populate the market without finding a buyer, indicating a dynamic shift. Days on the market have extended by 33%, signaling a more thoughtful approach from buyers.


Despite a nominal 4% price dip since last year, the real story lies in the nuances. To sweeten deals, sellers are increasingly financing buyer's closing costs and interest rate buy-downs. What's truly captivating is the widening gap between sold and unsold home prices, now at an impressive 20%, with peaks of 27% in May 2023. In this market, strategic pricing is paramount.

Meet Jen Sandstrom of Eat in Washington

By RM Home Specialists • September 14, 2026
Your beautifully curated list of what’s worth eating, seeing + doing around Washington. Jen is one of those people who creates the vibe. She married into a family my husband and I have known for a long time, and over the years I’ve seen just how thoughtful and intentional she is. She lives in the cutest Craftsman in Central Tacoma, hosts the warmest gingerbread competition Christmas party, and her wedding week in the San Juan Islands was one of the most beautiful celebrations. She has an eye for the details that make something feel special. So it makes perfect sense that she’s completely immersed herself in the local scene with @eatinwashington . I love knowing what’s new, fun, and delicious around here. But with two kids, it’s nearly impossible to actually keep up with all of it. Jen does the heavy lifting for us. Through her lens, Eat in Washington has become a beautifully curated highlight reel of Washington’s must-eat, must-see and must-do. The new restaurant worth making a reservation for. The coffee shop you haven’t tried. A special dinner happening for one weekend. A day trip, market or stay that deserves a spot on your list. And because Jen herself is so intentional, her recommendations feel intentional too. She notices more than whether the food is good. It’s the space, service, story, lighting, people, and all the little details that create an experience. We asked Jen to give us the list.

At 11409 Cloverdale Court SW in Lakewood , more than 4,100 square feet creates the kind of flexibility that is getting harder to find: room to live together without necessarily living on top of each other. And that matters because the way people use their homes is changing.
