Everett, Wash market advise?

[Bruce Woodruff]

Hi BP - I generally hang out in the STR area, but have a question for you all on a different subject.

Our son and his girlfriend recently moved to the Everett WA area and are looking into buying a house/condo there. I know nothing about the area so my advice is worthless.....I always looked for the part of town that I thought would 'gentrify' next, buy a fixer there and wait, always did well. 

• 1) So is there a neighborhood in this area that might get hot in a few years?
• 2) Is this even a good time to buy there (or anywhere?) 
• 3) Is the market topping out...?

Thanks in advance!

@Bruce Woodruff, Everett has some neighborhood like Bayside, Boulevard Bluffs, Port Gardner,... and some other areas are not so safe. 

Do they work in Everett? 

What are their criteria for buying?

They both have jobs that cause them to be all over the county on different days, so close proximity to downtown is not a big deal.

Criteria......$300k price range, investment property they can live in and see some quick(er) ROI.

I wish I lived closer so I could help (I'm a retired builder), but they moved to WA to be closer to some family, while we retired to AZ. Just trying to help as concerned parents :-)
