How Many Active Listings Are There in Gig Harbor Right Now?

One of the questions I am asked most often by both buyers and sellers is how many homes are actively on the market in Gig Harbor at any given time. While the exact number shifts week by week, the overall trend in 2025 remains consistent. Gig Harbor continues to have a limited selection of active listings, especially compared to the demand flowing in from surrounding counties and out of state relocations.

Throughout the year, the number of active listings in Gig Harbor typically hovers well below what we would need for a balanced market. This tight inventory environment has become one of the defining characteristics of the Gig Harbor market. Even when new homes come online, they are often absorbed quickly by motivated buyers who have been waiting for the right opportunity.

The low number of active listings is influenced by several factors. Many long term residents prefer to stay in their homes due to the comfort, privacy, and lifestyle the community offers. This creates a slower turnover rate compared to other cities. Gig Harbor also has limited land available for large scale new developments, which naturally restricts the amount of housing that can be added each year.

Another factor is the consistent wave of buyers coming from Seattle, Tacoma, California, and other high cost markets who view Gig Harbor as a premium lifestyle upgrade. These buyers tend to be well qualified and ready to act quickly. As a result, listings often move from active to pending at a faster pace than the regional average.

For sellers, a smaller pool of active listings means their home has a better chance of standing out when it is properly staged and marketed. For buyers, it means preparation is everything. Being pre approved, understanding neighborhood pricing, and working with a local expert can give you an advantage in a market where homes do not stay active for long.
