Census and NOAA figures for the town of Steilacoom in Pierce County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the town of Steilacoom was built in 1978, about the same as the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Washington median of 1985. That is older than the Pierce County median of 1986.1 Somewhat more of Steilacoom's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 57% against 50%, with 7% built since 2010. The largest single share, 40%, dates from 1960-1979. That makes it a newer stock than Pierce County as a whole (42% built before 1980).1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. Owner-occupied and rented homes in Steilacoom are of similar age: median build years 1979 and 1977.1
Housing in Steilacoom is mostly detached single-family: 63% of units, with 16% in buildings of five or more units.1 A mostly detached stock means the full range of exterior work applies: roofs, garage doors, chimneys and backyard units. 63% of occupied homes in Steilacoom are owner-occupied, in line with the Washington share of 64%.1 The median owner-occupied home in Steilacoom is valued at $655,000 (ACS), above the Washington median of $564,600. Within Pierce County the median is $526,600, so Steilacoom sits above it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
