The “Need to Know” about real estate property taxes 👇

Property taxes are an annual tax that local municipalities collect each year, based on the assessed value of your property. These funds help pay for services that benefit the community, such as schools, roads, maintenance, etc.

First-time homeowners often forget to factor property taxes into the overall cost of their new home, which can come as a nasty shock at tax season. So let this be a reminder to all homeowners to calculate property taxes into your annual budget!

💰 BONUS TIP: If you own a rental property, your property taxes may be tax-deductible 💰

⏰ Time may not be on your side when buying a new build home ⏰

Most builders are reporting significant delays due to supply-chain disruptions. Some have even canceled contracts completely!

If you're in a hurry to move into your next residence, then you may want to stick to shopping for an existing home. At least until new construction catches up with the current housing shortages.

Of course, timeframe isn’t the only factor you should consider when planning to buy your next home. Read more in our latest blog post:

FACT: A 2019 survey found that millennials' homebuying regrets often came down to maintenance issues.

So before you start your home search, it’s important to set realistic expectations about how much time, effort, and money you want to devote to maintaining your next home.

🧰 Are you a DIY enthusiast? Taking on a fixer-upper can be rewarding, though be warned that repairs have become more costly these days.

You may be thinking, “Do I really need a real estate agent?”

In our experience, the builder has their best interest in mind, not yours! To negotiate the best price and avoid costly mistakes, it’s crucial to have professional guidance throughout the process.

The best part? A real estate agent comes at NO COST TO YOU (in most cases).
