During the month of January there were 17 homes that sold in Orting. These Orting homes actually had a transfer of home ownership. Contracts complete and Lender funds available. The home buyer and seller signed all of their documents and escrow prepared the closing packages. Once all the I’s were dotted and the T’s crossed there where deeds recorded at the Pierce County courthouse that transferred the property into the new home owner’s name!

Not a bad time to purchase a home in Orting, Washington. Prices are down, interest rates are at an all time low you might want to look at what it means to you.
What do these numbers mean? Is it a good time to buy? Is it a good time to sell. It all depends on your individual situation. I would rather buy in a buyers market and I would rather sell in a buyers market if I have to buy another home with the proceeds. I am a fan of the NORMAL market – everyone can feel more comfortable and real estate transactions are not as stressful.
