Buying a Home With Resale Value in Mind
There are many things that should be considered when buying a home. Since many homebuyers view their current home purchase to be a stepping stone to a bigger and better home in the future, resale value is an important factor in decision-making. Consider the potential future resale value of this house so you can use the proceeds from selling it to buy the next one.
While no one can guarantee that your home will grow in value, or how much it will grow, there are steps you can take that maximize your potential gain.
"Location, Location, Location"
"Location, location, location," is a well known, if not overused phrase in real estate. Have you ever wondered what "location, location, location," actually means? Why repeat it three times?
Basically, "location" is repeated to emphasize that it is extremely important to the resale value of your home. The idea is to buy a house that will appeal to the largest number of potential future homebuyers. A careful choice of location can minimize potential negative influences on future resale value, and maximize positive influences (I would also add "timing, timing, timing" to the equation. Buying and selling at the optimum time is not always as easy to control as choosing your location, but it is very important, nevertheless).
Focusing on resale value requires you to make several different "location" choices. Which zip code? Which school district? Which subdivision? Which lot within a new development? At the very least, you should narrow your choice down to just a few local communities. Though choosing a home is a very personal decision, I can help consult with you on some of these important financial considerations.
