Pointers for Purchasing a House that Will Maintain Value

Dear Rich –

We are relocating to the Carolinas and are looking at different communities in which to buy. We’re unfamiliar with the region and want to make sure our house holds (and hopefully increases in) value. What should we be looking for to make sure we’re making a good investment?

The Aldens

Dear Aldens,

When you buy any home, the first thing to consider is whether it suits your taste, your needs and your budget, and whether you love the feel of the community. Buying a house for investment purposes alone is a mistake, unless it’s exclusively an investment and you don’t intend to live there.

With that said, some points to consider are:

-->Whether or not you have children in school, be sure the schools are academically sound;
-->All houses in the neighborhood should be well-maintained. Houses that are in disrepair bring down the value of the neighborhood
-->Don’t be tempted to purchase the biggest, most expensive house on the block.
-->Consider the location. Is it in a desirable community?
-->Look for a house on a street where you’re not backing on to a high traffic thoroughfare and parents wouldn’t fear having children play in the yard.
-->Are there highways, an airport or factory very close by that produce noise or pollution?
-->Are there highways close enough to provide easy access for commuters?
-->Are there nearby amenities, such as a post office, supermarkets, drug stores, a park and malls?
-->How are the taxes compared to comparable nearby communities?
-->Are the services covered by the taxes comparable to nearby communities also?

If the house you want to purchase adheres to these guidelines, and especially purchasing now when values are low, your house should maintain and probably increase in value, depending on how long you live there.

At Jamison, we serve families relocating to the Carolinas all the time and would be happy to help find your dream home here. Please give our relocation office a call at 704-846-3663 or rich@richferretti.com.


Best regards,
Rich Ferretti

Relocating to Charlotte NC?

Thinking of relocating to Charlotte North Carolina and surrounding areas?

Originally from New Jersey and relocating to Charlotte over 5 years ago has taught me several things.
• Charlotte is a great area to raise a family
• Charlotte and the surrounding area offer affordable housing and lower taxes.
• You can’t beat the weather. Yes, it gets chilly during the winter months but I can deal with temps in the 20s at night and 40s during the day. During the last 5 years a sweater or golf jacket is all you need.
• Sell your snow blowers
• Snow Shovels, I brought one and it’s hanging in my shed. Never had to use it.
• Golf, you can play all year long. Not bad huh?

Call, email or text me and I’ll send you our Charlotte DVD. There is no charge for the DVD and it will give you an idea of the life style down here.

You can also get an idea of all the available housing opportunities and prices by checking out my web site: www.RichFerretti.com

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.
