Kitsap Valentines

This Valentine’s Day, we are looking at real estate through a long-term lens. For military families at Naval Base Kitsap, buying a home is rarely just about the present moment. It is about choosing a foundation that supports your family's future and provides stability in an unpredictable career.

At Richesin Homes, Marilyn Richesin and Jason Richesin believe that care and trust should guide every transaction. When you are stationed in Kitsap County, long-term planning means more than just finding enough bedrooms. It means understanding how a property in Silverdale or Bremerton fits into your future PCS possibilities.

Resale Value and Location Flexibility A home should support your lifestyle today while remaining a strong asset for tomorrow. We prioritize locations with proven resale history and proximity to base. In our current market, homes that are well-priced and maintained are still selling very close to their asking price, providing a path to build equity even on a standard three-year tour.

Stability for the Journey Frequent relocations are disruptive, especially for children. Owning your home in a city like Poulsbo provides an amazing sense of community. Beyond the emotional benefits, homeownership offers predictable housing costs and the potential for passive income if you decide to turn the property into a rental after you relocate.

The Bottom Line Strategic timing and expert guidance give military buyers the confidence to move with intention. Whether you are looking to settle down permanently or want a flexible investment, we help you make decisions built to last.
