Comments on: Affordable housing in Gig Harbor http://gigharborundressed.neighborhoodsundressed.com/2007/12/19/affordable-housing-in-gig-harbor/ A Blog About Our Gig Harbor Area by Matt Thomson, Associate Broker/Realtor (c), Of Keller Williams: 253-226-7595 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:43:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Matt Thomson http://gigharborundressed.neighborhoodsundressed.com/2007/12/19/affordable-housing-in-gig-harbor/#comment-157 Matt Thomson Fri, 21 Dec 2007 21:02:26 +0000 http://gigharborundressed.neighborhoodsundressed.com/2007/12/19/affordable-housing-in-gig-harbor/#comment-157 The development that Mark is referring to is Crescent View Estates on 118th St off of Peacock Hill Rd. Currently there are 7 homes listed on the MLS in there (there are 19 homes being built). As Mark mentioned, none of the homes have sold or even gone under contract as of today. Homes are between 2400 and 3200 square feet, priced from $539,000 to $609,999. I don't know about the construction having stopped, and I have never even toured the homes yet. The listing agent is advertising up to $100k price reductions on these homes. Statistically, $183-$194 per square foot is a pretty good price on new construction homes, but like I said I have yet to see these homes.

Building will catch up but not until inventories get flushed out...We are not planning on selling in the near future because we love g.h. so much. We live downtown and are glad that all the commercial developement is going north...Merry Christmas everyone...

My parents used to own Hedstroms Floral Gardens and Nursery. I wonder if it is still there. Larry Cragun - IssaquahUndressed.com Damon, you mentioned Peackock Hill and my memory buttons went off.

I think that we've done a pretty good job of making our new developments blend in to the atmosphere of Gig Harbor. We are getting a good deal of the necessary ammenities here.

I can remember the first time I ever went to Gig Harbor, I got lost! My step father and I used to cut wood up on Peacock Hill when there was nothing but raw land there, my how things have changed. Gig Harbor only continues to grow, I think more outward to the surrounding area, pretty soon we won't have to cross the bridge for anything.
