⚠ Seattle market reality check

Even Seattle has cooled significantly.

The Puget Sound market that couldn't stop in 2021 has slowed dramatically. Tech layoffs, 7% mortgage rates, and buyer caution have pushed average days-on-market well past pre-pandemic levels. Bellevue, Kirkland, Renton — even the most desirable Eastside neighborhoods see homes sitting 60–120+ days. In Tacoma and South Sound, it's often longer. Sellers are either accepting below-asking offers or watching listings sit as the market gets more picky.

For Seattle specifically, the math on creative finance is particularly compelling. With median home prices near $900k, sellers often face six-figure capital gains tax bills on cash sales. Seller financing spreads that tax over years. Subject-to preserves favorable 2020–2022 mortgage rates (that 3% loan is worth money). Novation captures retail upside without the listing slog.

Translation: in a slow Seattle market, the right structure can easily net you $50,000–$200,000 more than a straight cash sale. We're one of the few buyers in the region offering all five.

Why creative finance matters in Seattle

High home values = bigger decisions

Seattle median home prices mean each deal structure has major tax and financial implications. We explain them all.

Capital gains tax concern

Selling for cash on a Seattle home often triggers a $100k+ tax bill. Seller financing spreads it across years. Worth $20-50k+ for many sellers.

Monthly retirement income

Instead of $700k lump sum → $4k/mo for 20 years at 6% interest = more total dollars and steady income.

Low-rate mortgage preservation

Have a 3% mortgage? Subject-to keeps that rate. Today's buyer can't beat it with their own loan.
