Sequim real estate has always been a target for retirees, at least for the last 25 years, but this year retirees are looking and buying aggressively. Retirees from around the country have been watching Sequim for years, and as they have approached their official retirement date, their search for their ideal home picked up its pace. Many have come to Sequim several times over the years to see if this is where they really want to retire. Looking at homes is another way to the ultimate decision.  I give tours to retirees who are considering Sequim, and I can tell you we have a great time.

Sequim Real Estate

A lot of Sequim real estate is selling fairly quickly, but there are still many homes that continue to sit on the market for a long time. Here’s the reason.  Retirees who are in their 50’s and 60’s have similar preferences.  That beautiful newer custom built home with three bedrooms and two baths, a deck, a nice yard with some privacy, within the famous Sequim Blue Hole, and reasonably priced, all on one level with no stairs, or at least not lots of stairs.  Does that sound like your ideal home?  It is for the majority of people moving to Sequim.

Sequim Real Estate Tour

Looking at Sequim real estate ought to be a lot of fun, and it is if you do it right.  I always recommend taking a tour of the Sequim area first.  If you’re vacationing and just looking at the area, have a great time driving all around and outside of Sequim.  If you’re getting close to buying a home, why not contact a Sequim Buyer’s Agent, and look at some homes while you’re here.  That will help you make the decision about whether Sequim is the right place to start the next exciting phase of your life.
