Craig's list Rental Scam   January 28, 2010. Northwest MLS has been notified of a scam involving the placement of active residential listings on Craig's list as rentals. The perpetrator is posting the address, listing photos, and marketing remarks in these false ads. When a consumer inquires about the property, the scam artist responds and states that he is in West Africa for a prayer crusade and asks the consumer to fill out a rental application, which seeks personal information from the consumer. NWMLS encourages all listing agents to check www.craigslist.org to ensure that your listings are not being falsely advertised as rental properties. Contact your local authorities and notify Craig's list if your listings are involved in a rental scam.   02/05/2010

Gig Harbor home prices down 7%...but still less than county When the News Tribune reported last month the average price for a home in Pierce County had fallen 12% from 2008, following a drop of 9% a year earlier, I decided to compare average Gig Harbor home prices with the county's average. Normally the median sales price (half the sales above and half below) is used for comparisons locally, as well as nationally. In January I reported that the median was actually up 1% year-over-year for December but down 4% from two years earlier. Gig Harbor home prices did take a hit when you assess the entire year-dropping 7%-- and an even larger 11% punch from 2007 to 2008. However, even combined, the figures were still better than Pierce County as a whole. The table below compares Gig Harbor zip c... 02/05/2010

Gig Harbor home prices continue to climb out of hole Gig Harbor home prices are continuing to sustain moderately higher sales prices as 2009 closes out. December is the fifth of the last six months to show improvement year over year. Gig Harbor is defined as the Gig Harbor peninsula and Fox Island. Gig Harbor home prices are up 1% over 2008, comparing the months of December only. The 4-county Puget Sound area however experienced a 7% decrease in sales price. Another plus--sales of Gig Harbor homes have been better than 2008 for the last half year now-in each of those six months.    While December sales improved by 7% over November-which is not the norm-they were up dramatically 41% over 2008 and 160% over 2007. The 4-county Puget Sound area reported 54.7% more sales than last year, but ... 02/01/2010
