Here on the scenic Kitsap County WA peninsula, we are fortunate to have a very large military community comprised of Naval Base Kitsap, including the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bangor Subase, and the Keyport Naval Undersea Warfare Center. As such, many of the active-duty, active reserve, and retired service members buy homes here in Kitsap County WA using VA Home Loan financing. This is a very popular loan product of choice mainly because it doesn't require that the Buyer contribute a down payment. VA Home Loan rates are usually fairly competitive compared with conventional loan rates. The current VA Home Loan rate is hovering around 3.75% to 4% for a 30-year fixed mortgage, and at 3.0 to 3.25% for a 15-year fixed mortgage. The maximum loan limits here in Kitsap County WA are presently...

Doom and Gloom. Doom and Gloom. It's playing like a broken record through the news media outlets across the country. As a licensed real estate broker, I hear this particular sentiment being expressed a lot these days, both as it relates to the housing market in general around the US, and right here in Kitsap County WA. Let's face it. Times are tough. Our current economic struggles breed uncertainty and unrest. The natural tendency is for people to hunker down, hold tightly to their money, and not make any major purchases. While this may be a prudent direction for some, others may unfortunately lose out on a prime market opportunity. One of the best times to invest in real estate is at the low end of the cycle when home prices have bottomed out. Add to that dynamic the large number of sh...

Let me preface this article by stating for the record that I am a big fan of VA financing. It’s one of the few home loan products currently available for active-duty service members and veterans that requires little or no money up front in order to purchase a residential property. The first two houses my wife and I bought were financed with VA home loans, otherwise we would have been renters for a very long time! It’s just that I really dislike the whole VA appraisal process. While we have many highly qualified appraisers here in Kitsap County WA, and most of them do an admirable job at determining property valuations, the whole VA appraisal process is horribly flawed. To find out why VA Appraisals are the Ultimate Deal Killer, hop on over to SOUNDBITEBLOG (opens up into a separate wind...

After the September 11 attacks security for military installations around the country implemented new security measures, and bases in Kitsap County followed suit. The Navy proceeded to purchase land in downtown Bremerton adjacent to the Bremerton Puget Sound Naval Shipyard entrance for a security buffer. Instead of looking at some jersey barriers along the sidewalk the City of Bremerton had a vision that would lead to the creation of PSNS Memorial Plaza.
