This story starts in 2015. A young Army family, (Ian & Angie, their 2 daughters and Angie's mom), were stationed at Fort Lewis, relocating from Alaska.
They wanted at least a 4 bedroom house to live in so there would be enough room for everyone, they wanted a good investment and they needed to buy the property SIGHT UNSEEN!
On top of these needs, they had $0 to put as a down payment.
We discussed their situation and they were able to connect with a lender who set them up with a VA Loan, which required 0% down. After several rejected offers, we eventually secured this house in Yelm for $215k:
They hated the HOA & their requirements. And while everyone had their own (small) bedrooms, there was little living space for the family of 5 to share.
Angie called me 1-2x per year since 2015, wanting to sell & move into a bigger property. Each time, we ran the numbers, evaluated the market, and each time it just didn't make sense to sell.
Fast forward to June 2020:
Ian was transferred to Virginia, we took a look at the market, and decided... yes, let's list this property. We listed for $329,950; We received the first offer within 8 hours, had 20 showings in 2 days, which produced 7 offers total... all over list price.
Ultimately, Ian & Angie accepted an offer for $340,000. After taxes & fees, they're put $113,000 in their pocket, paid off their vehicles & padded their savings account for a rainy day.
