Presale Opportunity
 Custom luxury home by Tonka Homes NW in the prestigious Silver Lake Highlands at McKenna Forest Reserve.

Set on 20 private acres within a gated community, this 4,119 sq. ft. home offers a rare blend of refined Northwest design and peaceful seclusion. Expansive windows frame the surrounding trees, while a chef’s kitchen with Thermador appliances and a main-level primary suite create a home that is both elevated and livable.

Enjoy the best of both worlds—everyday conveniences like shopping, coffee, and essentials are just a short drive away, yet when adventure calls, you’re just over an hour from the Paradise entrance of Mount Rainier National Park, with easy access to iconic destinations like Narada Falls.

Luxury living, redefined by location.

What does this mean for sellers in 2026?

It’s less about rushing to beat the market — and more about pricing correctly, preparing well, and having a clear plan.

Even if you’re not ready to list yet, starting the conversation early gives you options and helps you prepare without feeling rushed later.

Buyers are more intentional, and homes that stand out are the ones that sell well.

If selling is on your radar this year, understanding your local market is the smartest first step.

📩 DM us “SELL 2026” if you’d like a realistic look at what your home could sell for and what your next move might look like.

If you’ve been thinking about buying, 2026 might be your year — because strategy is winning right now. 🏡✨

In Pierce County, the market is giving buyers more breathing room: 📉 The median price has been sitting around $567K–$580K and is relatively flat year over year⏳ and homes are taking longer to sell — about 31 days vs 26 last year.

Translation? Less panic buying… and more time to negotiate + choose wisely.

5 Focus Points for 2026 Buyers:
1️⃣ Why now: More breathing room = fewer bidding wars and more opportunities to negotiate price, repairs, or credits. We’re seeing buyers gain leverage — with more seller-paid credits, rate buy-downs, and repair concessions becoming more common.

2️⃣ Who it’s great for: First-time buyers, renters tired of rent hikes, and anyone wanting long-term stability — especially if you plan to stay 7–10+ years.

3️⃣ What changes when you buy: You start building equity, gain more control over your monthly housing cost, and stop waiting for “the perfect time.” And honestly — living in the in-between is exhausting. Making a clear decision creates space to focus on the priorities in life that matter most to you.

4️⃣ First step: Get pre-approved AND find your real monthly comfort range (not just the max approval 👀).

5️⃣ Biggest mistake: House-hunting before your numbers are clear — that leads to frustration, regret, or missed opportunities.

If you want, we’ll help you run the numbers and map a smart plan for Pierce County in 2026.
