fox island: Fox Island View Home--Party's at your house! - 07/19/09 02:54 AM
When I was a 6th grade teacher, several of my students' parents mentioned that they wanted their house to be the "hang out" house.  It made them feel good to know that their kids were safe and close by, but also able to be hanging out with friends.  I think I just listed for sale the best "hang out" house in Gig Harbor.  Technically, it's not Gig Harbor but actually on Fox Island.  If you are looking for a great house for entertaining, take a look at this one!

fox island: Open houses in Gig Harbor - 02/13/09 10:01 AM
I tried to think of something witty about loving houses, or buy a house instead of a box of chocolates, but I came up empty.  So with no fanfare, nothing witty or creative, here is the map of open houses in Gig Harbor this weekend.  If you see anything you like, or if you have any questions about buying a home in our area or the Gig Harbor real estate market in general, give me a call.

fox island: Open houses in Gig Harbor - 02/06/09 09:01 AM
As we push into February and the weather begins to warm up, open house season is warming up as well.  There are several open houses this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday.  If you're looking for a new home in Gig Harbor or on Fox Island, there's a little something for everyone.  From a $155k trailer in a highly sought after retirement community (over 55 living) to a $1.295M waterfront home, there's plenty to check out this weekend.  With the new economic stimulus package looking like it will pass, it is becoming more and more attractive to buy a home now.  Gig … (2 comments)

fox island: Open houses in Gig Harbor this weekend - 01/31/09 02:28 AM
Since it's Super Bowl weekend, the open house slate in Gig Harbor is pretty slim this weekend.  There are a few open however.  I'll be hosting Chaffey Homes' new gated community The Highlands at Rosedale Saturday from 2-4 and Sunday from 1-3pm.  If you want a great new construction luxury home in a beautiful gated community in Gig Harbor (just minutes from Discovery Elem and Gig Harbor High School) come and visit me!

fox island: Gig Harbor Open Houses - 11/07/08 04:21 AM
It seems as we move towards the winter, fewer and fewer open houses are being hosted.  If you're looking to sell your home in the Gig Harbor area, I'd check with any real estate agents you're thinking of hiring and ask them what their policy on open houses is.  In buyers' markets like the Gig Harbor real estate market is in right now, anything to get buyers into your home is a good thing!  That being said, here's the interactive map of open houses in Gig Harbor and Fox Island for this weekend.  There are some pretty nice ones.  I'll be hosting … (1 comments)

fox island: September SOLD report for Gig Harbor - 10/06/08 10:36 AM
September had some ups and some downs in terms of the local Gig Harbor real estate market.  I made the mistake of watching some news the other day, and after a story about the economy and how bad it is, I watched 2 stories about rape and 4 about murder, then one more about the housing market and its tumble, and reminded myself why I don't watch the news.  The news isn't going to tell you anything positive.  They just won't.  If you'd like the truth about home sales last month in Gig Harbor, keep reading.  If you want moaning and … (1 comments)

fox island: Fox Island hosts open houses - 10/03/08 12:59 PM
There are 16 open houses in the Gig Harbor area this weekend, and 11 of those are on Fox Island.  If you've ever wondered what it was like living on Fox Island, this is your weekend to find out!  Located just south of Gig Harbor, Fox Island is a unique community with homes ranging from the low $200's to well into the millions.  As you may expect on an island, there are numerous waterview and waterfront homes available.  Fox Island is part of the Peninsula School District, and has relatively few amenities (a gas station and small store is about it).  … (2 comments)

Light load of open houses this weekend in Gig Harbor and Fox Island.  Only 8 of them.  Keller Williams Realty is gearing up for the first ever "Back to School Home Sale" next weekend!  Many of our sellers have agreed to significant price reductions for 2 days only!  August 16th and 17th several homes listed with Keller Williams Realty Gig Harbor will be "on sale."  The homes will be open for viewing, and most agents will have coupons that will allow buyers to get the sale price for up to 2 weeks after the event if they attend the open house … (0 comments)

fox island: Gig Harbor real estate open houses - 06/20/08 07:23 AM
There are some really nice homes for sale in Gig Harbor, and many of them are open for viewing this weekend.  A few that I'd recommend are a nicely remodeled waterfront home for only $494,000 (#7 on the map).  Well worth seeing if you're looking for a fun waterfront get away.  There's also a really cool "Green-built" home right in the downtown Gig Harbor area (#8 on the map).  If nothing else, it's fun to see how energy efficient and environmentally friendly a home can be.  You may also want to check out the great new construction homes just behind the … (0 comments)

fox island: Gig Harbor home sales for May '08 - 06/02/08 03:59 AM
In my pre-real estate life I taught math to 11 and 12 year olds.  I always told them that you can use math and statistics to paint pretty much any picture you want.  That holds true in real estate.  Looking at the Gig Harbor home sales for May, I can either paint a rosy picture of our market or make it look oh so bleak.
May saw 44 homes and condos sell in Gig Harbor and Fox Island, that's up 9 from April!  Yeah!  That's down 39 from May of ‘07.  Oooh.  Our median sales price for May was $416,250, by … (1 comments)
