Seattle Suburbs: Renting Vs. Buying in Real Estate

Let's look at both options for the suburbs of Seattle:

Some benefits of renting:

1. Flexible - nothing to tie you down
2. Less out of pocket in the short term (although in some cases, a mortgage is the same or less than your rent)
3. No home maintenance to deal with

Seattle real estate and its surrounding suburbs are the best investments you can make! Despite a bit of a slow down due to the current lending environment, we are still one of the most undervalued real estate markets on the West Coast! Even in this cooler market, Seattle houses are appreciating! Seattle real estate is one of the best ways to build wealth today.
