Homes in Grant County in Foreclosure

Great news! Out of all 16 counties in Washington state, Grant County (which includes Moses Lake) is #1 and has the least number of home foreclosures in the state. According to RealtyTrac Inc., only 1 out of every 5,184 homes in Grant County is in foreclosure.

That's in comparison to Cowlitz County, which has 1 in every 431 housing units in foreclosure, Pierce County (Tacoma area) with 1 in every 534 housing units in foreclosure, Spokane County, with 1 in every 1,206, and King County, with 1 in every 1,341 in foreclosure. Up at the top with Grant County is Chelan and Douglas Counties with 1 in every 4,040 and 1 in every 4,755.

I'm so thankful that Grant County's housing market is so healthy! It's a great time to buy and sell homes in Moses Lake!

If you are a first-time home buyer, we have a great class available for you to attend. It's the North Columbia Community Action Council's First Time Home Buyer's Class, held monthly at the new WorkSource building in Moses Lake on Balsam and Fifth. Thank you to all the students who attended last Saturday from 10-3pm. It's a great education on buying a home, and sometimes, buyers decide to attend two or three times so they don't miss anything. Eric Slyter, Cori Bautiste and I teach this class together. You learn all about the home buying process from interviewing a Realtor to getting pre-approved for a loan, and how to budget for the first home you want to buy. For more information, call me at 509-431-5804. I'll be glad to help! Our next class is in August.
