Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Buying a primary home in Seattle Washington

$
0
0
I bought a home in Edmonds for the following reasons. Please confirm what gaps you notice in my analysis:
<snip>
We are paying $1.2M for a 2,501 sq. ft new construction home with a lot size of 4,000 sq. ft., which includes a private backyard with a greenbelt. While we are happy with the home, I want to ensure that I haven't overlooked anything in terms of due diligence. The reason I say this is because we plan to raise a family here and stay for the next 10 years. I would really appreciate insights from experienced homeowners 🙏
You've already purchased the home so; you're going to find out both the good parts and the warts regardless.

I was in Seattle last year, staying at Level Seattle South Lake Union a couple blocks from Amazon HQ. It's in a nicer part of Seattle but doesn't make up for the bad parts. If I worked for Amazon, I'd ask if I can relocate to the Irvine office in Southern California instead of Seattle.

Hopefully with the distance, Edmons/Picnic Point will retain its suburban quality of life. But if you see signs of decay like local target putting toothpaste behind locked cabinets, might be a good time to plan for exit at that point.
