West Olympia Homes

West Olympia homes are popular among people hoping to live close to the center of town, where they can walk or ride the bus anywhere they need to go. The neighborhood is also appealing to those with a taste for classic architecture, with most homes being built prior to 1960. West Olympia homes have a charm and character unmatched by other parts of town.

While West Olympia describes a potentially huge area, I am focusing this article on the neighborhood of homes on the hill between Division St. and West Bay. To get to the neighborhood and check out West Olympia homes you can either cross the 4th Ave bridge from downtown Olympia and head up the hill on Harrison Ave or take the Black Lake Blvd exit off Hwy 101 and head NW on Black Lake Blvd. until you hit Harrison Ave.

So what is there to do near West Olympia homes? Well, pretty much anything you can imagine. Downtown Olympia is just blocks away. West Bay offers great sights, a marina, and Tugboat Annie's restaurant. Up the hill you can explore the Westside Shopping Center at the corner of Harrison Ave. and Division St. where you can grab a slice of pizza at Vic's Pizzeria or go bowling at Westside Lanes. Just up the road from there you can satisfy all your shopping needs at Westfield Capital Mall, known to locals simply as Capital Mall. Another perk of West Olympia homes is the proximity to the Olympia Food Co-op's westside branch, where you can buy fresh and local goods. There really is no shortage of opportunities to get out and enjoy the town when you live in West Olympia.

Some buyers are holding back hoping to purchase when and if prices get lower. My response is don't wait ! Now is the time to take advantage of the current opportunities. The interest rates are at an all time low. Lots and land are "dirt cheap" and short sales have driven the single family residential market to new lows in Washington state. Strike while the iron is hot and you won't kick yourself later for having hesitated. When the stock market crashes $$$ disappears, not so with real estate, you can sell, rent or put a tent on it.

This is the time to buy, don't be shy. All the negative press about the rotten economy and housing slump tends to paralyze people. There are screaming deals all over the country. Do you have a little nest egg of money pegged away that wasn't hit by the stock market crash. Now is the time to aggressively purchase Real Estate across the country. The "short sales are driving down prices and the interest rates are incredibly low. Are you a risk taker, now is the time to buy a second home in Florida or Arizona or collect rentals, GO FOR IT! Your time to prosper has come!
