6 Reasons to Buy

6 Reasons to buy a home in the New Year

1. A Place To Live.
Your home is not only a place to live, but also a place to spend quality time with family and friends.

2. The Options You Want.

The great aspect of today’s market is that you have plenty of inventory to choose from in order to find a home with the options you are looking for.

3. Tax Savings.

Your home is one of the best tax shelters available, since mortgage interest and property tax can be deducted. Also, when you sell a home, the first $250,000 (if you’re single) or $500,000 (if you’re married) of profit is tax free.

4. Equity As A Long Term Investment.

The longer you own a home, the more equity you build in your home, as long as don’t try to use it.

5. Waiting Can Be Expensive.

Waiting for a lower purchase or interest rate is like playing Russian roulette. Don’t let it rob you of owning the home of your dreams or building personal wealth.

6. You Deserve It.

Your home is your refuge in a busy and stressful world. Knowing you can do whatever you want to make your home your own personally sanctuary is empowering – and you deserve it.

Your decision to purchase now is one you won’t regret.
