Waterfront Home Sales in Gig Harbor
Each market seems to have a type of housing that ranks as the most desirable. When I lived in Park City, ski-in-ski-out housing was prime. In Santa Barbara, the Montecito Estates were the benchmark. Here in Gig Harbor, waterfront homes seem to garner the most interest. Gig Harbor is unique in the astounding numbers of waterfront and waterview homes that we have. It makes navigating a bit tricky, because you can’t judge where you are in relation to the water, because we’re surrounded by water. I wanted to take a look at waterfront home sales in our area, looking at Gig Harbor, Fox Island, and the Key Peninsula. Often I’ll include Fox Island homes as part of Gig Harbor, but for waterfront I decided to separate it out, mostly for my own curiosity! Here are the number of homes sold and the median prices.
As you can see, prices in Gig Harbor and Fox Island are very similar. The Key Peninsula offers more affordable waterfront, but you’re going to be further away from many of the necessities and amenities of Gig Harbor.
2005-2006 are yearly sales, 2007 are YTD sales, and Current are homes currently on the market. For current, I used median list price, rather than sales price. Info is taken from NWMLS, and I believe in some cases the listing agent took some liberties with “waterfront.” Information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed.
