Festivals and Events

The San Juan Islands offer a wide variety of activities and lots of them can be enjoyed year round. Many of the "things to do" are marine oriented including boating, kayaking, whale watching and diving. There are great parks and beaches to explore on foot, and bicycles and mopeds are popular in the summertime. We have movie theatres, live theatre with music and play, and local museums. The San Juan County fair takes place every year in August and is a always well attended by locals and visitors alike. Several local service organizations are actively involved in our island communities and anybody that enjoys volunteer work will find many different opportunities to choose from.

First Time Buyers >More Down Payment Help

One of the most common deterrents to first-time home buyers is the lack of a down payment. However, the home loan industry has practically re-created itself in the last ten years, making it easier than ever to obtain a mortgage, and new mortgage programs are always cropping up.

Some states sponsor loan programs that allow buyers to purchase a home without putting any money down. A parent or other relative can guarantee repayment of ten percent of the loan if the buyer defaults. The only cash needed is for the closing costs, which typically run about three percent of the loan. Parents can also give their children down payment help through a personal note or second trust deed. The terms can be set up for monthly payments or annual payments amortized over a period of time. You could pay the interest only, and have the payoff due when the property is sold.

With so many alternatives, doesn't it make sense to call your real estate agent for a free consultation? You may be closer to home ownership than you think.
