Tacoma Condo For Sale | Sunset Plaza
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010 at 12:18pm. 153 Views, 0 Comments.
We've just listed a top floor condo in beautiful Sunset Plaza! Located just off 6Th ave, Sunset Plaza is a gated complex with park like grounds. Almost reminds me of Pt Defiance. Sunset Plaza has a pool, tennis court, clubhouse with work out room and several walking trails. It's a real convenient place to live offering access to the 6Th ave night life, minutes to TCC and on the bus line to Downtown.
I noticed the buildings and grounds were in excellent condition as I drove into the complex. The mature landscaping and well kept grounds show a real pride in the complex. There aren't many other condo complexes in Tacoma that have a foot bridge and a rose garden for the owners to enjoy.
The unit we have listed is on the top floor overlooking…

Thursday, July 8th, 2010 at 8:57pm. 100 Views, 0 Comments.
$8,000 Military first time home buyer credit is alive and well until June 30, 2011. While the general population's $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit has now expired, Congress has extended the benefit for our active duty military members for an additonal year.
How does it work? Pretty simple, buy and close on a home prior to June 30, 2011 and receive an $8,000 credit towards your federal tax. If you normally get a refund, you can expect to receive an additional $8,000 on your check.
How do you know if you qualify? Basically, any active duty service member that has been deployed overseas for at least 90 days from Dec. 31, 2008, and ending before May 1, 2010. Whether you are headed to Ft Lewis or McChord from Korea, Japan, Germany or the…

Tacoma Foreclosures
Monday, July 5th, 2010 at 4:19pm. 72 Views, 0 Comments.
Tacoma Foreclosures are often the best opportunity for a first time home buyer, move up buyer or real estate investor to pick up a Tacoma home at below market prices. These homes range from "tear down" condition all the way up to absolutely pristine view homes needing zero work to reach "move in ready" status.
Generally, you'll find good discounts in the $200,000 and under price category. In our experience, we've seen some really nice deals in this price range, but competition can be brutal. If you are in search of a well priced Tacoma home under $200,000 expect competition for the home. This, by the way, is an excellent argument for hiring your own buyer's agent. When competition gets tough and every aspect of the contract is crucial, a highly…

90 Day FHA Anti Flipping waiting period waived
Friday, June 4th, 2010 at 3:37pm. 103 Views, 0 Comments.
The 90 day FHA Anti Flipping rule has been temporarily suspended by HUD to allow investors increased opportunity in the current housing market. The current moratorium runs from Feb 2010-Feb 1011 and provides a more equal opportunity for investors to profit from the large amount of distressed homes currently available in Tacoma.
What anti flipping rule?
If you aren't an industry insider or an experienced real estate investor you may not have been aware of the 90 day waiting period for a home to be for FHA financing eligible. Basically, the rule was put into affect during the run up to the bubble and kept investors from buying a property and reselling it in a short period of time to a buyer using FHA financing.

Market Update
Good News for Puyallup Home Sellers
