Seattle home prices are in a correction, falling seventeen percent since their peak in 2022. As a traditionally strong housing market with almost unbelievable appreciation potential, investors are starting to wonder whether or not now is the right time to get in on this high-priced real estate market. Between the high-paid tech salaries and abundant population, Seattle looks like a solid pick for a property market, but with more layoffs on the horizon, home prices are still shaky.

With the help of today’s sponsor, Belong, Dave Meyer takes a look at what makes the Seattle market so hot. Over the past decade, Seattle has seen appreciation unmatched by most metros across the United States. So, it’s too late to invest, right? Wrong! Even with high home prices, you can use creative investing methods to boost cash flow in this pricey market. Dave gives his top strategies for turning any Seattle property into a profitable real estate deal, EVEN with mortgage rates at what they are today.
