Prevailing Cap Rates in Tacoma Washington
So I've got a Commercial Broker sending me leads from MFR in Washington, he's operating mostly in the Tacoma - Olympia area. But I'm blown away by the prevailing cap rates going on. Can anyone shed some light on the reason that cap rates are so low in the area?
Sold Comps
Year Built -- 1980, Cap Rate -- 5.53 Price - $899,000
Year Built -- 1978, Cap Rate -- 6.71 Price - $1,385,000
Year Built -- 1974, Cap Rate -- 6.81 Price - $1,900,000
A 40 year old building, in University Place with a less than 7% cap rate? The only conclusion I can draw is that it's Seattle Investors who want something they can drive who are paying all cash. What are your thoughts?

@Trevor Hatchard there are quite a few mobile home parks up here still. Several are listed right now but they are mostly smaller ones full of single wides. The nice big ones are being gobbled up by corporate buyers. I'd love to buy a mobile home park myself but personally I would only touch one that was on sewer and most of the ones I'm seeing are septic. DM me if you want and I'd be glad to email you a quick list of some parks I've seen here in Western Washington.
