Considering a move to the Puget Sound?
Here are a few tips for you!
In spite of the pandemic, the housing market in Seattle, Tacoma, and the surrounding areas has held steady. While housing pricing are still increasing, a few key elements are allowing home buyers to sneak into this competitive market.
Have we piqued your interest yet? Don’t take our word for it. Here are a few reasons you may want to look for a home in the Puget Sound area.
Seattle is one of the easiest places to get a home loan in 2020.
Fewer than 6% of applicants have been denied a home loan this year. That places Seattle (King County) in the list of top 20 cities most accessible to home loan applicants!
Interest rates for home loans are record-low.
Because of the pandemic, mortgage rates are lower than they’ve been since the 70s (just over 3%). It’s a perfect time to invest in a 30-year mortgage, knowing that your rates will fluctuate little over the next few decades!
Now more than ever, it may be a lot simpler to find a “steal” of a home.
Coronavirus has caused a lot of people to rethink the sort of homes they want to live in - which is good news for people who aren’t as choosy. Since certain trends - like open floor plans - have largely gone out of style in the last few months, Seattle/Tacoma/Gig Harbor/Puyallup might be just the place to find a gem of home / apartment without having to arm wrestle someone for it.
