Real Estate Listing Creativity - Part 1

My friends and I have, on occasion, talked about the value of a Sound view in Tacoma.  What’s the uplift on a home’s value if one looks out over the water versus an identical house without the view?  So this morning a listing appeared in our inbox for a home in the 1200 block of North J Street that boasts that is is just “One Block away from a fabulous sound view!”.  Hmm…  what’s the value of being close to a water view?  Is this like being really close to a good part of town? 

I’m a little curious about the price.  There must be more to this house than meets the eye… and I don’t think it’s the Pergo floors.
