Is your current Whidbey Island home not giving you the lifestyle you need? Are you thinking about purchasing a second home? Now could be a great time to do so, but there are several things to keep in mind before taking the leap and pur-chasing a second home.

Does It Make Sense Financially?

Does buying a second home make sense for you financially? Keep in mind not only the mortgage payments, but also upkeep and potentially hiring a property manager if you plan to rent out your home and use it as an investment. Think about the location and type of second home you want to buy. A town home or condominium may require less upkeep, but you do pay extra fees for association dues for upkeep.

You will need to research the tax implications of owning a second Whidbey Island home, both in terms of property taxes and income taxes. Consider how you will be paying for your home. The more money you put down, the better. Perhaps a family member can help with some of the down payment to save on interest. Another popular trend is to go in on a sec-ond home with another couple. This could be a good idea if you are only interested in using your home for a getaway for only part of the year. Purchasing any type of property is a big decision, so be sure to thoughtfully consider your options before purchasing a second home.

Owning A Whidbey Island Home As An Investment

Whidbey Island is a great place to own a second home or an investment property. Our vacancy rates are very low, based on what we hear from Koet-je Property Management. They manage several hundred Whidbey Island Homes on North Whidbey and are a great resource if you need property management information. Please feel free to contact Coldwell Banker Koetje Real Estate with any questions regarding the second home market of Whidbey Island.Homes. Call us at 360-675-5915 or submit the form below.
