Wow! Renters aren't buying
According to a study by Zillow, only 2% of Seattle renters are interested in buying a home next year! This is far below the 11% national average. Renters are probably waiting for the heated market to cool slightly before making the jump from renting to owning. So who buys houses in Seattle? With a shortage of inventory, rates likely increasing, and a lot of foreign investment; it's really anyone's guess who is buying next. What is for certain, is Proper Rent knows the rental market in Seattle and can help renters as well as property owners looking for investment property help.
