The Buying Process

Clicking on each of the above icons can help you to learn more about each step involved in the process of purchasing a house or a condo. Each step is integral to the end result, which is ultimately becoming a homeowner! Homeownership has many advantages to renting. 

Historically, homeownership has been a very good investment all over the country, but in the greater Seattle area, I find it’s a better investment than it is in many other cities and states.  If you’re like me (and like many others) saving money is hard and for some people, virtually impossible because it never seems like there’s any “extra” money each month to put away. However, when you own a home, it acts as one big savings account! In the greater King and Snohomish area, chances are your home will be worth more money with each month you own it, which means you’re gaining equity and ultimately, making money on your investment without “saving” a dime as long as you’re making your mortgage payments on time. Sure, you might need to pay a little more on a home than you do on your rent, but the tax breaks on owning a home make it all worth while. Wondering what you can afford?
