Rent to own Homes in Auburn, WA

Just 20 miles outside the bustling metropolis of Seattle, the city of Auburn offers a suburban lifestyle to just over 70,000 people. Residents enjoy the weather-related benefits of being nestled in a valley, and there are two rivers running through the city. The land was originally home to several Native American tribes, which are now referred to as the Muckleshoot Tribe, and the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation borders the southern edge of Auburn.

Auburn, WA is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $76,410 and a median rent of $1,314, the Auburn, WA rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Auburn, WA. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.
