Charlotte NC Real Estate-10 Reasons to buy a home in 2010

10--REASONS TO BUY A HOME IN 2010

1. Quality of life – a home provides stability and security for you and your loved ones, and membership within a community of neighbors.

2. Pride of home ownership – a home is a personal haven, a place that you can decorate, shape, and share over time because it’s yours.

3. Excellent affordability – lower home prices combined with low interest rates means there are tremendous opportunities for buyers.

4. Historically low interest rates – around 5 percent in the U.S. gives better purchasing power to those who qualify.

5. Appreciation potential – your home investment can grow in value.

6. Equity buildup and debt pay down – homeowners enjoy an average net worth of approximately $184,000 vs. $4,000 for renters.

7. Leverage – where else can you buy an investment of this magnitude with 5-10 percent down?

8. Tax deduction advantages – property tax and mortgage interest write-offs (in Canada, home owners gain a tax benefit upon selling).

9. Tax exemption – up to $500,000 per married couple or $250,000 per person on sale of a primary residence in the United States (no tax upon sale in Canada).

10. The real cost of renting – at $800 per month, with the average
6 percent rental increase per year, you will pay $126,536 over a 10-year period but have zero ownership of the property.

Renting versus Home Ownership in Charlotte

Renting versus Home Ownership


Which are you doing?

Are you a home owner, or are you a renter?

Both have benefits and disadvantages, and nobody should make the decision without thinking through all of them. Let’s look at some of the pros and the cons…

Home Ownership: Pros

• Well, it is yours! You own it! No landlord to tell you what to do and when to do it! While you might have a home-owner’s association or condo association to deal with, this is your property – to do with what you want. Pets? Sure! People in an out? Yup! Paint the ceiling? Why not!

• Ownership gives you a sense of security… This home is yours! Nobody can take it for you as long as you keep up the payments. You are the king of your castle! Do with it, as you will!

• A great investment, one that should appreciate in value and serve your hard-earned money. Land, and real estate, is almost always a solid return on your hard-earned greenbacks.

• Taxes benefits! Let’s say it again, TAX BENEFITS! Home ownership usually leads to some healthy love from Uncle Sam!

• If you ever need another loan again, you have made an incredible positive mark on your credit rating. Plus, equity in your home helps you get a line of credit when you need it!


Renting: Pros

• Freedom! Freedom! A mortgage, and a home, can tie you to a town or city for a long time. If you rent, you can pick-up and leave whenever your lease is up! In these trying economic times, that is sometimes crucial when looking for work!

• Responsibility – or lack of it! The roof leaking is not your problem. Major snowfall, no need to shovel. Your landlord or property management agency are better then your parents!

• Options are always unlimited! Rental properties can come in all kinds of shapes and seizes, and be in locations all over the place. You might not be able to buy a beach home, but I bet you can rent one!

• You get what you pay for…. We encourage people to think of real estate as an investment, but like any investment – sometimes even the most solid investment can go BAD! It happens, occasionally. Renting allows you to never worry if the neighborhood is going to go bad or they will build a toxic waist dump next to your family’s duplex!

Some of these pros might sound like cons to you. Some of these pros might seem appealing to you. Depending which you are geared towards – you now have a clearer idea of whether renting or owning is ideal for you. And remember, it isn’t a life-time commitment with either. We can buy, rent, sell, own, and rent again all in the space of our long lives. Each option gives you some interesting potentials – you just have to figure out which one works for you at what time….

For families on the go this summer here are some timely tips

Good To Go: Top Tips For Families On The Go This Summer

RISMEDIA, July 1, 2010--The family vacation is a ritual of summer. While traveling with kids brings parents enormous amounts of joy, it also comes with a certain level of stress. Family travel expert, Emily Kaufman, The Travel Mom, offers the following advice to make every trip stress-free. Kaufman is available for interviews.

TIP ONE
Pick a vacation destination that really, truly offers something for every family member - Look for hotels, resorts and getaways that have a wide variety of activities; golf for dad, spa for mom, structured kid's clubs for children.

TIP TWO
Don't overschedule your vacation - Our families are so busy. We balance school, jobs, homework, sports, dance and other activities all the time. Vacation is a time to relax and enjoy the down time.

TIP THREE
Kids are creatures of habit that don't tell time - They know what is coming next because of the sequence, order and routine. Even on vacation go through the same steps surrounding bed time, meal time and potty time so the children know what to expect.

TIP FOUR
If traveling with another family, be very clear about everyone's vacation expectations before you leave - Discuss how much time you plan to spend all together. Talk about all costs from meals to rental cars. Know if one team of parents is going to stay with the kids one night and let the other parents have an adult night.

TIP FIVE
Be prepared! Arm yourself with information about the place you are planning to visit. Most every city has a local visitor's bureau, and their websites are loaded with information about the destination. Check out their sites to learn about family friendly activities, dining offers, special events and more.

TIP SIX
Make a boredom bag for a car trip - Take a hanging travel cosmetic case and fill each pocket with age appropriate activities; things like books on tape, hand held electronic games and self contained craft kits. Hang it from the seat back in front of where your child is sitting. This will keep everything organized and the young one from asking "are we there yet?"

TIP SEVEN
Sneak in an educational experience - We are never too old to stop learning! Visit hands on, kid friendly museums, walk in the footsteps of history or take a trip to aquarium. Learning can be lots of fun.

TIP EIGHT
Be loyal - Credit card companies, airlines, hotels, cruise lines and rental cars all reward their most devoted customers with special perks, from free upgrades to amenities in their hotel room. Some airlines don't charge their premium members to check baggage and offer access to the most desired seats.

TIP NINE
Disconnect to reconnect - Our families are so wired in with technology that we miss the chance to talk to each other. Kids can stop texting, mom can stop with the cell phone and dad can stop with the blackberry so the family can enjoy each other.

TIP TEN
Make the Internet your travel agent to save time and money - Purchase tickets to theme parks and other attractions online ahead of time, and print them before you leave. That way you don't waste valuable vacation time waiting in line to pay for admission.
