Shenandoah's So Perfect
BUT IS THIS THE RIGHT TIME TO BUY?
You’ve reached a wonderful time of life. You
know what you want and what you can do without.
A choice to live at Shenandoah can be made with
the assurance that you’ve purchased much more
than four walls. You’re entering into an
adventure - a fulfilling life style in a
beautiful setting with a community of
like-minded neighbors who are interesting,
supportive, and fun.
Buying a home at Shenandoah is not just
about the value of the home itself. You’re
investing in extraordinary natural surroundings
and a vibrant life style that only gets better
with time. It’s far from a speculative
investment. It’s a place into which you’ll want
to settle comfortably for the long term.
But what about those gloomy predictions
about dwindling home values? Should you wait,
hoping that the value of your present home
rebounds? Or should you begin to enjoy the
Shenandoah life style sooner rather than later?
Here are a few reasons why we think that buying
now will definitely work to your advantage.
• Although the value of your present
home is lower than it was in years past,
savings on the purchase of your new home will
surely make up the difference. You sell for
less, but the opportunity is there to buy for
less. Builders are working with buyers to
determine how the loss of the earlier-expected
price of their existing homes can be
compensated for by attractive new home
pricing.
• The cost of building materials will
continue to escalate. Builders may not be able
to hold prices at attractive prices when the
upturn begins.
• Staging” your home will help
potential buyers see not how you live in the
home, but how they might want to. Staging means
not only de-cluttering your rooms, but making
subtle changes without altering your lifestyle.
Ask your realtor or your Shenandoah builder for
advice on making these changes that will make
your home irresistible to buyers.
• Interest rates are low, and they can
begin to creep up any time.
• If you bought your home more than 10
years ago, you’re still ahead because you can
surely sell it for more than you paid.
