Living in Seattle: Should You RENT or BUY?

Living in Seattle: Should You Rent or Buy?

Are you considering whether to rent or buy in Seattle? Deciding between renting and buying a home in Seattle’s competitive market can be challenging. In this video, we’ll break down the key factors you need to know when making this decision.

We’ll discuss the financial side of homeownership, including down payment requirements, cash reserves, and the potential for rising monthly payments. We’ll also cover transaction costs—if you’re planning to buy this year and sell next year, you could lose around 10% on transaction costs alone. And while Seattle real estate has historically appreciated, there’s no guarantee this trend will continue. Still, with Seattle’s strong economy and high average incomes among both renters and buyers, there are compelling reasons on both sides.

We’ll also explore the benefits of home equity for Seattle homeowners and what that means for long-term wealth. Whether you’re looking for stability or flexibility, this video will help you make an informed choice.

Emily Cressey and the team at HomePro Associates love helping new home buyers, as well as those looking to sell their home. To be effective, buyers need to be pre-qualified and ready to make a competitive offer on a home. Sellers should ideally have their home looking "show ready" before it hits the market. These are things we will guide you through. Call or text us to say hello!
