Finance Your Investment with a Washington Hard Money Loan
Real estate investors have turned their attention to a new housing market in Washington State.
Tacoma, Washington is the hottest market in the country according to Redfin. Thanks to continued rising costs in the Seattle metro area, buyers are looking elsewhere to find value for their housing dollar.
Located on the Puget Sound, 35 miles south of Seattle, Tacoma offers an appealing blend of more affordable housing and quality lifestyle.
Prices and competition are on the rise, however. The median price for a home in Tacoma jumped more than one-third above the national average the past year, and the median home was on the market for just eight days – less time than any other U.S. metro.
What makes Tacoma special besides the cost of living relative to Seattle and other metro regions?
