I ran across another Tacoma Condo Map at King5.com when I was analyzing the sites that are linking to Tacoma Real Estate Market. It is an interesting exercise in the way the web works, sites link to yours that you never even heard of, let alone visited. A large portion of them are spam sites, but even spam sites can have their uses, if you can get past all the pop-ups that is.
This particular site listing was sitting right below a link to my Tacoma Real Estate blog, and since it had a the magical words "Tacoma Condo Map." I decided to check it out.
It is very similar to the Tacoma Condo Map listed at Exit133.com , although highly out of date considering that defunct Tacoma Condo Projects are listed like Chelsea Heights, Hanna Heights, and Old City Hall Condos.
Looks like it was created by a site called Mapbuilder.net , I will have to check it out some day and maybe keep an updated Tacoma Condo Map.

Tacoma Condo Map
A couple of years ago, I started reading Exit 133, a local Tacoma blog that is about Tacoma. It's about Real Estate, Politics, the Arts, Urban Development, and the interests of Tacoma readers. Of course, I was interested in the Tacoma Real Estate Market.
One of the more interesting posts, I remeber, was a Google map superimposed with new Tacoma condo developments. You can see the original overlay here. They had a scant pickup of interest and some revision in late 2006 as seen here.
I think it would be fascinating to take this idea and create a heat chart (ala Tulia) and utilize some of the functionality seen on the Tacoma Condo Map, not only detailing locations and websites, but also days on the market, and sales prices.
Who knows maybe we could inject a little life in the Tacoma condo market and get some of these stale units moving and reduce the Tacoma condo inventory. Even if it means a loss for the developers.
Who's with me? Anyone? Anyone?
