AbodeU: The Other Side of Tacoma Affordability - Jenny Wetzel Weighs In
Is Tacoma really unaffordable? Recently, Redfin published an article citing Tacoma as the 'Nations Hottest Market' this Spring based on median days on the market, and the percentage of homes selling over list price.
Dave and Abode realtor Jenny Wetzel sit down to talk about a blog post she wrote regarding the article, and how 'affordability' in Tacoma can be viewed in another light.
We also learn about Jenny's former job and how she caught a pregnant woman stealing, her favorite style of Tacoma home, and some considerations for people looking at Tacoma as a future landing spot to live.
