Enjoy The Best of Both Worlds… Summers In New England & Winters Down South!
T
he milder weather this late autumn has been enjoyable, although any seasoned New Englander knows better than to believe that we can go through a winter without the cold and snow coming upon us, often when we least expect it. That’s why some invested in a second home that they can escape to whether for an impromptu getaway or an extended vacation. If you’re anything like me, I’d be heading south for a beach area with more consistently warmer weather. According to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR), 36% of vacation home buyers did exactly that, with the balance comprised of lakefront properties and houses in the country. Although the percentage of vacation home buyers dipped by 4% in 2017 to bring it more in line with the historical average, the typical home price inched up slightly to around $200,000. Savvy second-home buyers, nearly 30% of which paid all cash for their properties, have been enjoying the best of both worlds: a vacation home for themselves as well as an investment property that they rent out periodically. With the advent of services such as AirBNB and other vacation home rental sites, this has often been a win-win for the owner and “guests” alike. Whether you’re looking to make a vacation home purchase or if you’re keeping your real estate needs more local for now, our established network of professionals worldwide and I can help you “make it home… again” no matter the coast or continent.
