New? or Old?





Any buyer must make a choice between purchasing a newly built home or an older home. One obvious advantage to buying new is that you get to choose everything from wall colors to countertop materials. In addition, brand new appliances and home systems are less likely to require repair and often come with warranties. New homes also include the latest technological features, amenities, and safety features. An older home, on the other hand, may provide savings in terms of property taxes and list prices. They are also more likely to be on larger lots of land, located in mature neighborhoods closer to metropolitan areas. In addition, older homes often display craftsmanship that was intended for homes expected to last lifetimes.

Hint: Older homes sometimes come with such pleasant surprises as hardwood floors that have languished for years beneath layers of vinyl or carpet.

Old or new? The choice is yours, and as a Realtor and Principal/Broker of VantagePoint Realty, I am dedicated to assisting you in finding the best home to suit your needs and desires. Let my years of experience benefit you!

An Open Door Policy



One of the best ways for sellers to allay potential buyer concerns is to show them that they will get what they are paying for. Part of any smart home-selling strategy calls for sellers and their agents to anticipate the concerns of potential buyers, primary among which is the concern that they might be purchasing a home with defects. The best way to defuse this concern is to have their home inspected by a professional property inspector prior to placing the house on the market. This will help uncover problems that were not previously known to the sellers, so that they can address them and thereby remove them as potential obstacles to a sale.

Hint: If a home inspection does uncover a problem, sellers should be ready with estimates of the cost to remedy it, which can be used to expedite negotiations with potential buyers.

If you are considering the purchase of real estate, contact me. I am a Realtor and Principal Broker with Century21 VantagePoint Realty, and I have a successful track record of assisting buyers. I will arrange an initial meeting, when I will help you to determine the best type of property to meet your needs and budget. The office is conveniently located.
