Why a home that sat for 7 months sold in 5 days
The home did not change. The representation did. Three things turned a stale listing into a five-day contract.
Presentation and staging. Team Schulte & Co. provided the staging and rebuilt the presentation around what Canterwood buyers pay for: a private corner lot backing to greenbelt, a main-level primary suite, and a timber-beamed patio facing open space, the Canterwood lifestyle within a 24 hour guard gated community.
Local market knowledge. Canterwood is a 750-home, 24-hour guard-gated golf community. Its value sits in the lifestyle as much as the house, and a generic listing cannot sell that. The listing was positioned and priced against what Canterwood buyers actually compare, not county averages.
Agent-led private showings. A team member attended every private showing. Each buyer was walked through club membership options, amenities, fees and perks, so they understood the Canterwood premium before writing an offer. That justification is what closes the gap between a buyer's interest and a buyer's offer.
What this sale says about Canterwood's luxury market
In a slowing market, representation decides outcomes. With average days on market above 60 and climbing, this home sold in five days after seven months without an offer.
Gig Harbor leads Pierce County's top tier. In the week ending November 1, 2026, four of the county's five highest-priced sales were in Gig Harbor, and two were in Canterwood.
Canterwood holds long-term value. This home last sold for $826,115 in 2014. At $1,659,000, it roughly doubled in about 12 years.
The Canterwood premium is real, but it has to be explained. Buyers pay for 24-hour guard-gated security, concierge service, trails, walkability and optional club membership for golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, fitness and dining. They pay it when someone shows them why it is worth it.
This was not a one-off. In 2026, Paige Schulte also sold 12210 Osprey Dr NW in Canterwood for $2,550,000 in 23 days, as the broader market slowed.
Why Canterwood sellers choose Team Schulte & Co.
Paige Schulte has sold the Canterwood market for 10 years and lives in the community. She was trained by the late Russell Tanner, one of Canterwood's original developers.
