How To Find An Investmet Property In Todays Market
In Seattle’s housing market today, properties don’t last long on the market, so you’ve got to act fast to compete in today’s market. In King County, the median home price increased by 25.7% from 2021, sitting at $791,933. Unless you have the capital to invest in King County, a good strategy for first-time investors is to look at cities on the outer ring of King County.
First Step to Finding an Investment Property:
The first step in finding an investment property is deciding how valuable your time is. Acquiring an investment property on your own requires a lot of devotion and effort in the search. There are many different methods of acquiring property like driving for dollars, cold calling, mailing campaigns, handwritten letters, or posting online ads. How much effort you put into finding the right property for your goals will determine what will pay off the most for you. Unfortunately, finding the right property for your investment may be difficult if you’re a hobbyist because of how fast our market is today. On average, homes in Seattle sell after 6 days on the market.
Finding Properties Off Market:
The internet has opened new ways to find a property off the market. The benefit of off-market listings is the opportunity to avoid competition for property in a desirable area. These are also known as pocket listings; these homes may be for sale but aren’t listed on multiple listing services, making them much more difficult to find. Peoplefinders.com is a great website to get in front of the owner before a competitor might. Take advantage of free online tools like Zillow & Redfin – which have been known for being very accurate when comparing prices within their area. This will help you give these sellers reasonable offers based on other comparable properties in the area.
