Waterfront Property

Waterfront property and beachfront property as shown in this photo of Freshwater Bay is available on the Olympic Peninsula east of Sequim all the way west of Port Angeles, but I know from my own clients’ experiences that you have to search for the needle in the haystack to find the perfect property with the view you want within your price range.

Waterfront Property or Waterview Property

I’ve organized our current MLS listings in a couple of convenient categories for you.  Here is a link to the MLS listings that have a waterview, at least according to the real estate agents who listed these properties.  Realize that some agents will call a “peek-a-boo” waterview a water view.  This list consists of 181 homes with some kind of water view, 3 bedrooms or more, and of course, these are all in Clallam County, and the second link includes a list of homes with the same parameters except  these 91 listings claim to have both a water view and a mountain view:

  • Sequim Water View Homes

    This beautiful Sequim water view home is elevated above Sequim Bay east of town with a feeling of privacy and acreage like a small park.  I thoroughly enjoyed walking this property and viewing the inside of this home with the owners today, and I will post it as a brand new listing tomorrow in the MLS.

    I’ve been showing Sequim water view homes to buyers coming to town over the last several months (yes buyers are looking at homes in the winter months), and many of the homes we have looked at have beautiful kitchens, but this kitchen is one of the best of Sequim kitchens.  The double aluminum refrigerator is just flat gorgeous, but the island in the middle of the kitchen is definitely the centerpiece of this model kitchen.

    This home is actually two stories with a third floor loft, although the main floor has everything for living, including a master bedroom.  It has a total of 5,900 square feet on almost 3 acres.  This house is listed at $799,000.  Just behind this property and a little higher in elevation are two lost, each a little over 2.5 acres, an ideal site for a tremendous Sequim water view.  These two lost are listed at $299,000.

  • Sequim Waterfront Video Series Part 3

    Sequim waterfront property is in demand, and we do have some beautiful Sequim waterfront views.  From east of Sequim to west of Port Angeles are beachfront, low and medium and high bluff, and panoramic water views from the mountains.  Waterfront properties that would be one to three million dollars in California or on the Seattle waterfront may only be $200,000 to $500,000 here.  But we are also away from the hustle and bustle of the I-5 corridor.  Sequim is known as a Rain Shadow and as a retirement paradise.

    This Sequim waterfront video is a vignette of the water views here, and I hope you enjoy the video and photos. I enjoyed taking these photos and videos over a period of several years.

    Sequim Waterfront Properties for Sale

    How many waterfront and water view homes are for sale from Sequim to Port Angeles?  Of course, the answer depends on the parameters you select for your Sequim MLS search, but here are some of the active listings for your viewing pleasure:

    Sequim Waterfront Homes for Sale

    Sequim WaterfrontOne of the challenges buyers have when they are searching for waterfront property is that Realtors do not enter their listings with the same standards, and the Sequim MLS is not programmed for precise searching of similar water views.  Let me explain this.  When a Realtor enters a listing with a water view in the MLS, he or she has a couple of options when choosing parameters.  The MLS gives us the ability to select from two major categories.  Under the category “waterfront” are these choices:  lake, none, pond, river, salt water, and stream.  Under the category “views” we have “salt water” and “salt water and mountains.”  If you search for “salt water” property, listings will not show up if they have been marked by the listing agent only as “sale water and mountains.”  In addition, Realtors can select multiple combinations.  This can make comparisons almost impossible for someone searching the online MLS from out  of state.  This is a fundamental programming glitch or shortcoming in the MLS in my opinion.

    In addition to these multiple possibilities, Realtors define water views differently.  What I would consider a “peek-a-boo” water view might show up on another Realtor’s listing as a “salt water view.”  No two water views are the same, but the way listings are entered is not always the same either.

    Between the different MLS parameters and the different ways Realtors choose to enter a listing, you can imagine that it is very hard, if not impossible, to do an accurate comparison of water views by searching the Sequim MLS online.  One thing I do for clients is go take photos and sometimes videos of a water view so they can really narrow their search down before they arrive.

    I hope you enjoy my Sequim waterfront video.

  • Sequim Waterfront

    Sequim waterfront property with a panoramic salt water view is not as easy to find as one might think.  We do live on the Olympic Peninsula, so one might think that Sequim waterfront is everywhere, and it is, but very few gorgeous medium bluff properties with a beautiful custom designed home are available for buyers.  This is a brand new listing on East Sequim Bay, and it is so impressive, I knew I had to share this photo and video of this Sequim waterfront home. This home has one of the most stunning designs and floor plans of any home in the area. It was designed and built by a the owner’s son who was a master custom home builder in California. I will include a link to all the features in this home in the coming days as we get this home in the MLS and begin to promote it.

    Sequim Waterfront with Medium Bluff

    This property has a medium bluff, which has an inestimable value for its next owner.  There is a danger in some high bluff properties.  Let me explain, so you will know how valuable this medium bluff property really is.  We have high bluff properties from east of Sequim to far west of Port Angeles, but some of these high bluff properties are 100 feet or more above a very steep bank. Now these bluffs are beautiful, but bluff stability is no small matter.  I’ve talked with many homeowners on high bluff property, and one elderly woman said she had lived in her home on a high bluff (over 100 feet) for 30 years, and she had never lost any of the bluff in all that time. But we all realize that one could lose some portion or a little of a steep bluff at some point, so a stable and medium bluff is really the ideal property.

    Sequim Waterfront on Sequim Bay

    This beautiful custom designed home is a Sequim waterfront home on a medium bluff approximately 30 feet above the water.  And the bluff is not steep and has a lot of vegetation growing on it, which obviously increases bluff stability with all the roots.  In addition there are some trees on the bluff and this bluff is probably one of the most stable on the entire Sequim Bay.  But the view is stunning from the back yard and the deck of this home.  I’ll post more details with a link to the full data sheet on this home, so check back here soon.  The listing price is $725,000.

    See the detailed listing information sheet at Sequim Waterfront Home.

    Sequim waterfront like this is hard to find.

  • Sequim Bay Water View Property for Sale

    Sequim Bay water view property is hard to find.  It is rare that a homeowner sells a home right on the water, whether it is beach frontage or high bluff property.  One of the premium Sequim Bay water view areas is undoubtedly East Sequim Bay, and this home has a stunning panoramic water view with a bluff that is roughly 30 feet above water.

    Sequim Bay Water View Home for Sale

    This is one of the most beautiful homes in the entire Sequim area, and since so many of my buyer clients want a Sequim Bay water view, it is likely this home will sell fairly quickly. Many people think that homes don’t sell in these “slow winter months,” but they do, just not as many. I sold a home last weekend, and I have two qualified buyers coming to look at homes in December.  This home is 2,700 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with a stone fireplace and window frontage that takes full advantage of the Sequim Bay water view. There are two master suites on the first floor and a three car garage. It was built by a custom home builder who built this home for his mother and father, and you can be sure he built with attention to quality design and construction.

    This is a new listing and I’ll have more photos and a real video tour up soon. There are not many homes like this anywhere on the water front on the Olympic Peninsula. This Sequim Bay water view home is worth looking if you love a great water view.

  • Sequim Water View Lots

    Sequim water view lots are one of our chief attractions on the Olympic Peninsula. We are surrounded by water, but that doesn’t mean Sequim water view lots are a dime a dozen. They aren’t. But we do have some stunning water views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

    Sequim Water View Lots

    Sequim Water View Lots

    We have incredible water view lots, and some high bluff water view lots  from east of Sequim  to the west of Port Angeles.  Today a client called from Alaska to ask about a high bluff water view lot.  This lot happened to be west of Port Angeles just west of Joyce.  This client asked if I would walk the lot for him.  This is something I offer to do for my clients, and since he is in Alaska, he can’t jump on a plane to see one lot that may not be what he is looking for.

    Sequim Water View Lots

    Here’s what happened.  I told my client I would go walk the lot right away, and call him from the lot.  He loved that idea.  I drove from Sequim to this lot west of Joyce, a 45 minute drive.  I located the lot and got my client on the phone.  I said, “Okay, I’m your eyes and boots on the ground.  What would you like to know?”  I described the property, it’s location and distance from Port Angeles, the water view and bluff stability, the neighborhood, the rainfall in that area, the driveway and the driving time from Port Angeles.  We talked about the clearing and excavation that would be needed to prepare for a site plan for their retirement home, the utilities, the well and septic, and the approximate costs of all these things.

    This is the kind of conversation I like to have with clients, where I help them with valuable real-time information about Port Angeles or Sequim water view lots.

    We already had talked about the cost of construction per square foot to build a home in this area, so this Alaska client became pretty familiar with what this lot looked like and what it would take to build a home.

    Sequim Water View Lots or Port Angeles Water View Lots

    I don’t know how many other Realtors act as your eyes and boots on the ground, whether you are looking at Port Angeles or Sequim water view lots or buying an existing home, but I love doing this for clients, and they tell me it is immensely helpful.  If you need a better feel for the property than you can grasp from the online MLS photos and virtual tour, just give me a call or shoot me an email.

    A Message From Chuck Marunde

    Sequim Real Estate Market Reports

    From Southern CA to Sequim

    My husband and I went to Sequim intending to interview several Realtors to find one to help us locate and buy a home in Sequim. We knew we wanted someone we could trust and who would have our best interests in mind. Since we would be handling the transaction from S. California this was very important to us. We met Chuck and looked no further. We felt a connection right away and spent some time looking at homes together so Chuck could get a feel for what we wanted. Well, we left Sequim having made an offer on a home which the owner accepted. Chuck has helped us through the purchase process. We are positive it would not have gone so smoothly without his help. We give him 4 thumbs up. Cathie and Wally

    From Georgia to Sequim

    My husband and I were interested in relocating from Georgia to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, and while we were staying at an Inn in Port Angeles, Washington, the Innkeepers gave us the name of Chuck Marunde as a contact for helping us with our real estate needs. Upon meeting Chuck we hit it off and immediately became friends and felt a real sense of trust in Chuck handling our wants and needs as far as real estate goes. We gave him, for lack of a better word, "unrealistic" demands in this unstable economy, and by the next morning Chuck had a list of properties that would fit those "demands". Chuck was able to help us not only find a home and property that suited our needs as a large family, but he went above and beyond what he needed to do to ensure that our offer was presented (and accepted) in a timely fashion. In the past 25 years of dealing in real estate, Chuck is, without a doubt, the most prompt, reliable, trustworthy, and friendly professional we have ever done business with! We will always use Chuck from here on out for all our real estate needs. Larry and April Leach Sequim, Washington

    From California to Sequim

    "Selling a house remotely is not an easy task especially in this market. But Chuck sold our house and made the transaction effortless. The people that he found were perfect, too, and that makes us very happy. Now the weight of having to sell our house is off our shoulders and we can finally feel settled and enjoy our new location. Chuck is our HERO!" Phil and Janet

    Why Chuck Marunde?

    Andy Romano is a successful motion picture character actor with over 40 years in "the Biz." Mr. Romano has a home in beautiful Santa Barbara, California, but he chooses to live most of the time here in Sequim, Washington on the Olympic Peninsula in the great Pacific Northwest. Why? In his own words, "Because it's even more beautiful and surrounded by more beauty in this incredibly peaceful and quiet place. With respect to real estate agents or brokers, well my friend Chuck Marunde, owner of Sequim and Port Angeles Real Estate, is hands down the best there is." Andy Romano

    Client Testimony

    "I’ve known Chuck Marunde for several years. My wife and I bought and sold one house through his services, and now have another listed through him for sale. Whether Chuck was representing us as the buyer or seller, I am confident he always had our best interests at heart. He helped us set or negotiate a reasonable price, and made sure there was a clear and open line of communication. He responded rapidly to email and phone calls and always knew the best person to contact for the various services involved in a transaction. I have worked with quite a few real estate agents and Chuck is right at the top of my list of good ones. Actually, Chuck is first and foremost just a good person, and he carries his personal honesty and integrity over into his profession. He has the greatest depth of experience in real estate of any agent or broker I have known. His years of practicing real estate law prior to becoming a broker are evident in the meticulous care he takes with the process and documentation. I am impressed by the way Chuck has integrated internet services into his real estate business. He probably knows more about this process than any other realtor in the country. In this tight market it is important to use every possible means to spread the word about available properties…to reach the few people who might be interested in a particular property." Steve L.

    Glad for Atty Experience

    “When Chuck told me I not only got a Realtor with decades of experience, but I also got his knowledge and experience as a real estate attorney for 20 years totally free, I couldn’t believe it. But it was true, and I strongly recommend Chuck to anyone dealing with real estate.” Susan

    Buyer’s Agent

    "We contacted Chuck to be our buyer’s agent for our purchase of a home in the Sequim area. Throughout the entire process he was enjoyable to work with, and we found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable, thorough and diligent on our behalf. He was in constant contact and always readily available and responsive by phone and email. We were buying from out of state and unable to cover the various steps in the process, so we really appreciated Chuck’s willingness to personally handle what we needed to have done. He coordinated and attended the various inspections, followed up on our numerous questions and requests relating to the sale (including measuring rooms and sending photos), and even conducted the final walk through of the property for us. We particularly valued his advice on a number of different issues that arose – and that he handled for us – during the transaction. In short, we were very impressed with Chuck and would recommend him highly to anyone who is considering purchasing (or selling) in the Sequim area." Ed and Sharlene

    Financial Planner Endorsement

    “Chuck Marunde’s level of expertise in real estate investment is amazing. His knowledge, experience and legal training have given me a dramatic advantage in real estate investing. He works hard to stay on the cutting edge of real estate marketing, sound advice and value-added service for his clients.” Kirk Wald, Financial Planner

    Enjoyable Experience

    "Our experience in working with Chuck Marunde was very enjoyable, he is a knowledgeable, dedicated professional who knows the real estate market extremely well. The thing we like most about Chuck is that he is a realist, he is very well versed in what is going on in the current volatile market and he understands "true value" in the market. Chuck is a honest and loyal leader in his field who really goes the extra mile to please the customer at every level. Having the legal background is a real bonus when it comes to negotiating a real estate transaction, Chuck is the guy you want in your corner when you come to the buying table." Sara and Ken

    From Arizona

    "We are ex-Washington residents who currently live in Arizona. We had been searching the Puget Sound area four years for a waterfront property to build a retirement home when we first contacted Chuck Marunde through his website. We had made multiple trips to various areas but most of the Realtors we contacted simply sent us an email, provided no follow up and did next to nothing to help us locate a property. On our first trip to Port Angeles, after connecting with Chuck, we purchased our dream property. We now own a high bank waterfront lot overlooking the Straight of Jaun de Fuca, and are excited to become part of the Peninsula community." Paul and Linda

    I’m Coming to Sequim

    "Chuck, I visit your site just about every day to see what is going on in Sequim. Although I have never been there, it is on my short list for a retirement home in 2014, when I turn 66. (Save me a house!). I do hope you are still in business then so you can help me find a little house for me and my cats with a view of some water. :-)" Ruth

    From New Mexico to Sequim

    Over a year ago, during a visit to the Olympic Game Farm, we developed what we eventually called the “Sequim Syndrome.” We live in New Mexico and decided Sequim was where we wanted to live in retirement. On our second visit to Sequim, we met with Chuck and asked him to help us. Chuck's web site provides such amazing search capabilities. Chuck's site also contains a 1000 blog postings and a real estate video series detailing buying real estate in Sequim. We bought Chuck's book about Sequim real estate and set out to follow his advice carrying on an ongoing email and phone conversation with Chuck. Doing our due diligence “Marunde style” and using his MLS search site, we came up with about 50 homes that met our needs. We narrowed the list down to 15 properties that best met our needs. We came back to Sequim a third time with our list in hand, and Chuck spent two days with us showing us all the homes on our list. Not only did Chuck help us find that dream home, he spent time to educate us about the quality of construction, fair market values of various properties, home layouts, and the joys of Sequim living. We had a great time as we traveled from house to house. By mid afternoon of the second day, my wife said we had found “the house.” Chuck helped us draft our offer and sent our offer to the seller's agent. It turned out there was a second offer made on the property at the same time. Chuck's help to make a clean offer paid off. At breakfast two days later, we got a call from Chuck saying our offer had been accepted by the sellers. We are now back home in New Mexico. Chuck attends every inspection on our behalf, updating us at every turn by email and phone. Our dream home is becoming a reality because of Chuck and because we were smart enough to follow his advice. We absolutely would NOT have been able to do this without Chuck Marunde's expertise and enthusiasm. We recommend Chuck to everyone planning a move to Sequim, Port Angeles, or anywhere on the Olympic Peninsula. Chuck is a gold mine of information and expertise for home buyers everywhere, not just on the Olympic Peninsula. Larry and Shirley

    From California

    During the months of February and March 2012, Chuck showed my wife and I over two dozen homes from Port Angeles to Port Townsend. We found Chuck to be very helpful, friendly and courteous. With Chuck there is no pressure; It is all about finding the best home for the buyer. As a Buyer's Agent, Chuck will give you his honest opinion of a property, including a fair market price. In one instance Chuck wrote up an offer for us which was accepted. Chuck was very helpful arranging for home and well inspections which involved multiple trips to the property. Unfortunately, escrow failed to close when, during the home inspection process, it was determined that a septic system repair was needed which the seller was unwilling/unable to make. We will continue to work with Chuck as there is no better Buyer's Agent on the North Olympic Peninsula. Bert and Sally
