When There Are Few Houses For Sale Part 2
With the current market of low inventory and high mortgage rates, Adaptive Real Estate finds creative ways to help you find the home that inspires and thrills you at an affordable price.
Of course you want to begin with speaking to a lender who can tell you what price range you are looking for. You also want to list the features you most want. But don’t get attached to that list because this is where the game changes.
Consider the following points when you are looking for a house to call your home:
The mood and feeling of a property may be more important than relying on listed objectives.
Everyone wants to buy a place that will appreciate well. However, square footage and assessed value may not be the driving factors for resale value. For example, orientation to the sun and the changing play of light on the interior create value.
The house you choose need not be as big as you may think if it has a great floor plan.
Outdoor spaces can produce more quality of life moments than a large interior that costs more to maintain.
Consider costs of maintenance, landscape and upgrades that would increase value and the joy of ownership.
Certainly, it must be a house you love where you see yourself surrounded by the people and things most dear to you.
You can make on offer on any home that interests you at a price that you think it is worth and that you can afford.
In the end, what you really want is a place to call home. So find a place you love that you will be happy with for years to come and make an offer. I’ll be there to negotiate that offer for you.
