Vacation home buying makes a comeback

Sales of vacation and second homes are making a comeback in many areas, according to a survey conducted by the National Associationof Realtors^® (NAR) this past spring¹. In fact, last year, vacation home sales outpaced primary residences and investment property sales.

The profile of the typical second-home buyer, according to the survey, may be surprising: 46 years old, married with a median household income of $87,500. But this profile supports historical demographics regarding vacation home purchasing. According to NAR, people typically become interested in purchasing a vacation home in their mid-40s. Today, 44 million people are in this demographic, and 40 million more are between 30 and 39 years old, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. This could indicate a favorable long-term demand for second homes.

Search For New Homes From Area Builders
I can also help negotiate the best price and additional amenities when you purchase a new home. Many buyers do not know you should have a Realtor represent your best interests in a new build home. The builder's sales staff represents their best interests. Shouldn't you also have a professional representing your interests? There is no cost for this service as we are paid by builders to help them sell homes. But we represent you, not the builder. We can frequently help negotiate unpublished deals of extra closing costs or upgrade packages from builders.

RECOMMENDED Property Manager

Most buyers who plan to use their purchase as a long term rental investment will need a property manager. The property manager will advertise your unit, review applicants, check credit and backgrounds, write and sign a lease, collect rent, handle repairs, and manage any day to day details on your behalf. I have worked with dozens of property managers over the years. The best one I have found is Calley Dittmer. Her contact info is below. She has worked with many long distance owners and currently manages property for other Canadian clients of mine. Please contact calley for details relating to management.
