Looking for a new beach house? Take the time to do your homework.
First and foremost is location! The closer to the beach, the better and more desirable the property is today and in the future.
In real estate it's always Location ... Location... Location!
Closely inspect the condition of the property. If the house lacks regular maintenance you can almost bet there is more than you can see not being cared for properly.
Layout and storage. Make sure the layout will work for you and your family today and in the future.
Open and airy areas spaces will make the property more enjoyable for daily life and gatherings of family and friends. Out door entertaining areas are also high priority.
If you're 50 or older make sure there is a bedroom on the ground floor if it's a two story house. Also make sure you can make the house can be made handicap accessible if needed.
Don't forget to look at storage. Everything from food, paper products and cleaning supplies to places to store household appliances are needed to keep your home clutter free.
Is the area convenient to your lifestyle? If you prefer not to have a car, are shopping and restaurants walkable? Bus routes close?
Is the area up and coming? Resale is a very important thing to consider. Nothing is forever.
Look for homes that are energy efficient. Inverter air conditioners and appliances help reduce you monthly costs. Also consider solar to keep your home lost cost while enjoying air conditioning year round.
Ask questions, a good agent with local knowledge is very important. Nothing is better than experience.
Pricing is Key, it's not always about getting a great deal, it's about buying for the right price. No deal is good unless it's good for both sides.
I've seen so many deals fall apart because of one side wanting more or trying to pay less than the property is worth. The price you pay today will seems like a steal in five years. Don't miss great opportunities!
A trusted advisor and company and local knowledge is key to getting the right property at the right price.
Select an agent with historical local knowledge, one who lives in the area you are buying a home. One who will give solid advice, a person that doesn't need the commission on the sale to eat tomorrow, one with a strong financial and legal background in the real estate industry.
