🏠 HOME BUYING TIP: 8 Simple Steps to Purchasing your Next Home

Step 1: Evaluate your financial situation
Step 2: Choose the right neighborhood
Step 3: Find a great real estate agent in Washington (that's easy, it's me)
Step 4: Get pre-approved for a mortgage
Step 5: Start house hunting in Washington
Step 6: Make offers
Step 7: Inspections and appraisals
Step 8: Final walkthrough and closing

Ok, there are usually bumps, stresses, and other twists and turns that happen in between. But the right agent will guide you through these and you may not even realize it!

What step are you at for your next purchase?

It's true, once you make your house into your home, you always miss it when you're away.

🏠 Do you love your home?

Home Buying Tip: Know Your Market

It's important before you decide on buying, to talk to your agent (me) about the market trends and stats.

For instance, now in Washington State here's what you want to know:

We are considered to be in a Seller's Market. That means the buyer demand exceeds available listings right now. Most homes are going off market quickly.

Property values are still climbing. Over the next year, homes in Washington are expected to appreciate by 8.9%.

Mortgage rates are very low. In Washington, mortgage rates average 2.44% for a 15-year mortgage and 2.98% for a 30-year mortgage.

These make the market competitive, but worth jumping into if you're considering buying your dream home in Gig Harbor. Message me to search listings and see Virtual Tours.

Together we can get you into your dream home!

🏠 Is your home your nicest word?

When I first started my real estate business, I thought the best part would be the sale of a home. But it goes much deeper...

My favorite thing about being a real estate agent is helping a home buyer find the perfect luxury property to share with their family and enjoy the nearby harbor, sound and mountain views.

I provide peace of mind and happiness for years to come. It's so much more than making a sale. THIS is why I do what I do.

Home Buying Tip: It's not about the price.

When buying a luxury property, it can be tempting to invest in the best property at the most competitive price to get the highest return on your investestment.

Instead, focus on the VALUE of the location, acreage, and amenities.

And you can't really put a price on happiness... meaning, if you love it then you should consider buying it. Period.

Be sure to ask a market expert (like myself) for the latest market comparison and analysis to determine the right offer on your favorite place.
