Bonney Lake has grown from about 9,700 residents in 2000 to roughly 22,700 today, making it one of the fastest-growing cities in Washington. Turn Two Mortgage is based right in Lake Tapps, at the center of that growth, and works directly with Bonney Lake buyers on everything from new construction to move-up purchases.
Bonney Lake sits on a plateau overlooking Lake Tapps, and its growth trajectory is hard to overstate: from under 10,000 residents in 2000 to roughly 22,700 today. That growth shows up in the housing stock: this is a new-construction-heavy market with a median household income well above the national average, not a legacy small town.
With new-build median prices running roughly $700-750K, Bonney Lake is one of the strongest move-up and new-construction corridors in the South Sound, not an entry-level starter market.
Bonney Lake sits right alongside Lake Tapps, the defining feature of this part of the South Sound, and the reason Turn Two Mortgage set up shop here instead of anywhere else.
Marc lives in the Lake Tapps area himself, so you're working with someone who knows this specific market, not a loan officer three time zones away.
From established family neighborhoods to newer construction, Bonney Lake covers a wide range of buyers, plus the Lake Tapps waterfront communities right at its edge.
Bonney Lake also includes Prairie Ridge, Sky Island, Cedar Ridge (a gated community), Falling Water, Highlands, and Copperfield Estates. Marc works with buyers and homeowners in all of them, so ask him about recent sales and financing options for a specific home.

Why are Bonney Lake home prices rising so fast?
Bonney Lake has more than doubled in population since 2000, and new construction hasn't fully caught up with demand. That's a common pattern in fast-growing South Sound suburbs. Turn Two Mortgage can help you move quickly when the right property comes up.
Can I get a jumbo loan for a new-construction Bonney Lake home?
Yes. Many new-construction homes in Bonney Lake price above the conforming loan limit, and Turn Two Mortgage works with jumbo financing regularly for this exact market.
Is Bonney Lake the same as Lake Tapps?
Not exactly. Bonney Lake is an incorporated city, while Lake Tapps is both the lake and the community around it, much of which is unincorporated Pierce County. Some lake neighborhoods fall inside Bonney Lake city limits and others don't. See our Lake Tapps page →
What's the difference between buying in Bonney Lake and Tehaleh?
Tehaleh is a large master-planned community adjacent to Bonney Lake with its own schools, retail, and HOA structure. It's a distinct new-construction submarket. Established Bonney Lake neighborhoods offer more variety in home age and lot size.
Can I use a HELOC to fund a move-up purchase in Bonney Lake?
Given how much equity many Bonney Lake homeowners have built up recently, a HELOC can be a strong option to bridge into your next purchase. Turn Two Mortgage can walk through whether that makes sense for your specific numbers.
Does Turn Two Mortgage only work in Bonney Lake?
No. Turn Two Mortgage is licensed throughout Washington State, with Bonney Lake and the broader Lake Tapps area as home turf. See all Washington markets we serve →
