Summary- Today it is not only about location, location, location but almost more importantly it is about price, price, price. As Tacoma continues to experience a buyer's market, the DOM is increasing unless homes are priced aggressively. Of the eight homes, the longest DOM was 262 days! The shortest DOM was 3 days! Of the homes currently listed for sale, demand for them has only been 3.75% per week. Sales are still good but we are a long way from a market balanced in supply and demand.
