Renton is a suburb of Seattle and was founded in the early 1900s. It is known for its high-tech industry and its proximity to Microsoft Corporation's headquarters. The city has seen significant growth in recent years as the technology sector has continued to grow. This growth has led to increased demand for housing in Renton, which in turn has led to increased prices for homes and home equity.

There are several factors that have contributed to the increase in home values in the 98055 zip code over the past few years. First, Renton is an attractive city with many amenities that appeal to residents and businesses alike. Second, Renton's economy continues to be strong and there is increasing demand for housing due to this growth. Finally, Renton's housing stock is relatively new and therefore there are limited opportunities for homes that are available for sale at lower prices than those currently being offered on the market.

Despite these positive trends, there are also some challenges facing homeowners in the 98055 zip code today. One challenge is that interest rates have been relatively low over the past few years which makes it difficult for homeowners who have variable rate mortgages (VRMs) to make their payments on time without having their rates increased by banks or lenders. Another challenge facing homeowners today is that there are fewer available properties available at lower prices than what they were previously selling for due to increasing demand from buyers who want property within reach of Seattle's thriving economy.
