Seattle renting vs. buying...

The rental market is strong right now in Seattle and its suburbs, but which side of it do you want to be on?

Some benefits of renting:

1. Flexible - nothing to tie you down
2. Less out of pocket in the short term (although in some cases, a mortgage is the same or less than your rent)
3. No home maintenance to deal with

Seattle real estate and its surrounding suburbs are the best investments you can make! Despite a bit of a slow down due to the current lending environment, we are still one of the most undervalued real estate markets on the West Coast! Even in this cooler market, Seattle houses are appreciating! Seattle real estate is one of the best ways to build wealth today.

Not convinced? Let me give you just a few more good reasons why you need to buy Seattle real estate instead of renting!

1. Pay yourself instead of someone else by building equity each time you make a house payment
2. Tax benefits - The interest you pay on your home mortgage is tax deductible in most cases!
3. Freedom to decorate and make yourself really feel at home!

If you think you might want to look at buying a Seattle house or a house in the Seattle suburbs, now is the exact time to make that move!  We are in a buyer's market for the first time in a long time and there are some good buys out there!  The inventory is plentiful so you can choose your very perfect house and the rates are low on top of it!  Need help with your closing costs? I can help you get your closing costs paid for!  In addition, there are buyer perks out there that make buying Seattle real estate too good to pass up!
