Whether it is a lakefront Washington cabin in the woods, a holiday home frequently seems to be a dream that only the rich can afford. But today, you do not have to be a millionaire to have one. A national survey shows the average household salary of second-home owners is $46,500. With today’s continued low rates, the tax advantages a second home can bring, and a large choice of areas experiencing solid home price appreciation, this is a glorious time to consider buying a second home or Washington log cabin as an investment and a great getaway place.
When hunting for your 2nd home, remember to research the area thoroughly. Ask a Realtor and the local chamber of commerce to provide information packets, maps and leaflets. Take a little bit of time to visit the area many times some months before and during its top season ( s ). Are the crowds unbearable? Is the weather unpredictable? Talk with a local Realtor per past and current home costs of a Washington mountain cabin.
