This Idea Stinks! City of Tacoma Mandates Sewer Scope

The city of Tacoma thought it was a good idea to mandate "sewer scopes". This really isn't a bad idea, just really bad timing! Had they mandated scopes in 2004, I'd be $7,000 richer today. Yes, in one of my more recent homes I replaced the sewer line to the middle of the street. Anyway, most counties have had mandated septic inspections for quite some time. No difference, really. In fact, it's a really good idea as many homes in Tacoma have reached the age where sewer pipes are not only failing, but have been so for many years. So, it's good for the environment (as there is likely seepage from many homes), good for the new buyer, but bad for the seller. In fact, everything is bad for the seller right now!

My point is that this mandate comes at the worst possible time. It's hard enough to sell/buy a home in this market and this makes it that much more difficult. Ultimately, our overall economy suffers from a lack of movement, continued saturation, and frustrated buyers and sellers. You see, many lenders are now asking to see the inspection reports, and if this is mandatory, replacement could run upwards from $6-14,000. May sellers just don't have the equity or cash right now. Where is that money coming from???

Many of the sales in this current market stem from short sales and foreclosures. In a short sale, the seller has no money and the cooperating banks are unlikely to pay an additional $6-14,000 to repair or replace the line. There are so many variables and complications involved, thus complicating the sales and making it that much more difficult for the underwater short-seller to try and come further out of the water? It is truly a ripple effect with the best of intentions, but comes at the worst possible time.

For now, the city has postponed the deadline to October 2010. Gee thanks...the market should make a full recovery by then :(.

Friday Foreclosure list for Pierce County, Washington including Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Puyallup, bank owned homes for July

Rates are still low and listings and foreclosures have peeked for the summer. This past month has been a busy one! With school out and summer vacation upon us, people are on the move. Hopefully, this is a sign of momentum. It seems, at least to me, that people have had enough of the sit and wait game. Folks can only go so long before they get that itch , and there will still be foreclosures and short sales for the next few years. And of course, we always have divorce and death. Yes, it used to be that death and taxes were the only thing you could count on, but with a 60% divorce rate ... times have changed, unfortunately.


This week there are 49 listings...up from the average of around 33. There are a number of deals worth checking out! This pictured (above to left) Tacoma bank owned home foreclosure is located in the Brookdale area and boasts 1700+ sq ft with 3beds and 2baths built in 2007. There are 4 similar homes in the same development; all foreclosures. So, there is a chance the bank is more than willing to negotiate this price.The craftsman on 42nd and Stevens fetched a pretty penny in the height of the boom, but with a recent price reduction, it's just about ripe for the picking. It pulls from a rich crop of comparable homes that provide a consistent value. And with the development of Ruston and proximity to Pt. Defiance and North Tacoma/Proctor and the waterfront ... location is great. For more information on any of these listings or to schedule an appointment to view any, please click or call me@tomtuttle.me or 253-686-3992. This is a fee service provided with no strings attached, but I would of course appreciate you business and the opportunity to service any and all of your real estate needs!
