Buy low, Sell high

I hear often from frustrated homeowners how they would love to buy a new home, but cannot get what they want from their current home to justify the move. Often times, the homeowner can sell for much more than they owe on their current home, yet they have 2005 prices stuck in their mind and feel that their home is worth much more than the current market will bring. Yet, on the same hand, they want to be able to take advantage of this market and purchase now.

I would love to buy low and sell high- I think we all would. It is what makes the most financial sense. Yet, unless you strike it rich and can wait the market out, or play your cards right, you will not be able to do this on a consistent basis.

Did you know that you will make more in equity in the next two years on a new construction home that has never been lived in, that you will in your home that is 5-10 years old in the same time frame?

Why is this? Well, this is due to the principal that homes gain the most equity in their first few years (unlike cars that depreciate the most in their first few years), and then begin to level off at a consistent growth rate.

If you would like to have your home assessed for a fair market value at no cost or obligation, please contact me today.
