How did you decide where to buy a house
Hi all.
When my family decided move from downtown Seattle to the Eastside, we spent three years looking — all the way from Snoqualmie to Snohomish — and still could barely decide where to land. There was so much to weigh, and even more we didn't realize we should've been weighing until later.
Buying a house is quite a journey; figuring out where to buy turned out to be the hard part.
Has anyone else been through this?
I'm curious how other people decided where to buy and especially how you got a real feel for a neighborhood you didn't already know before committing to it.
If you've bought around the greater Seattle area recently, or you're in the thick of it now, I'd love to hear your story: what you did to get to know different areas, what actually helped, and what was frustrating or just impossible to figure out.
Would love to hear how you worked through it. Feel free to share below.
