Buying a New Home for a New Year

So with the dawn of the New Year you may find yourself wanting to make some major changes in your life; and whether this yearning takes the form of a fanciful New Year’s resolution or an organized certified life plan, these planned changes just might involve the purchase of a new home. If so, then have we got a deal for you….

Sure, as Realtors you would expect us to say that; the fact is though, that this may indeed be the most ideal time to purchase a new home; and for a vast variety of reasons.

1. The housing market is thriving. Showing a vast improvement over previous years, the real estate market is a rife with opportunities—and brimming with beautiful homes—for those interested in buying.

2. The start of a new year happens to be an optimum time for home sales. Many of the people who opt to acquire a new home with the start of the new year must sell their old homes first; and although pre-owned, one of these houses might very well qualify as your ultimate dream home. In addition, people looking to build their own new homes often must sell their old homes first, to accrue the capital needed for this major construction project.

3. If you do indeed wish to make a fresh start with the coming of the new year, then the selection of a new home base or residence just may be integral to these changes. A clean, beautiful new setting can give a person a fresh new perspective on life, helping to signal a very positive turning point throughout the course of that existence.

4. A new job or school arrangement often necessitates the purchase of a new home. If you are starting off the new year with the acquisition of a new job or perhaps enrollment in an institution of higher learning, then these exciting new changes also might necessitate a major geographic move. Or to phrase it another way, you might have to relocate in order to live closer to your new place of business or study. And while you might opt to rent an apartment or dorm, as opposed to making a major home purchase, many people use some of the money earned through newly acquired jobs or scholarships to purchase their own homes.

If you see the purchase of a new home in your future, then make the future now; buy a new home for the new year!
