Interest rates have been creeping up all year. Although they remain well below the 50 year average, the opportunity to own a vacation beach house gets slimmer as rates go up. Vacation and rental property loans typically have a bit of a hit to rate on top of the upward movement we have seen since the dawn of 2018.
The Long Beach Peninsula remains a wonderful value for coastal property. I have gone on about this for years daringly close to ad nauseam indeed. I will not belabor the point further today but will suggest that those considering a vacation or rental home anywhere and certainly at the coast, should be most aware of the lending rate trends under way.
Living on SW Washington's coast can be fantastic and it remains shockingly affordable. Check out my Retire to Washington blog to see why Washington State can be a very desirable location to retire and the coast is certainly an additional reason.
Tomorrow is the 4th of July and that means big 'ole beach party on Long Beach! Check out the Long Beach website for information here.

Hello June!
Yes it is in fact June and the beach is starting to feel a little more of that late spring warmth. This hasn't exactly been a scorcher this spring, but June is the gateway to summer and summer at the beach means nice mild temperatures. When the thermometer starts to bust up into the upper eighties and nineties inland, the coast is a wonderful retreat for those of us that like a cooler temperature range.
There is much to do at the beach in the summertime and of course while you are visiting take a look at the local real estate scene.
Long Beach has a professional fireworks display on the 4th of July at the Long Beach Boardwalk but allows the use of amateur fireworks up and down a 28 mile stretch of the beach on the 4th. That is one of those bucket list things you just gotta do. Vancouver, Washington has always been a crazy zoo on the 4th but the city has tightened rules on fireworks so if you want a wild and crazy display of patriotic enthusiasm, the beach is the ticket to the hottest fireworks show around.
