Should I buy new construction or an older home in Jacksonville, NC?

Home is where the heart is!  But does that mean it needs to be in a home with new stainless steel appliances and energy efficient heating and cooling, or a home with more charm, a brick fireplace and original hardwood floors?

There are many advantages to either option.  But first ask yourself some questions:
In an older home, are you comfortable with the cost of maintenance and repair?  You may need to factor in newer electrical wiring and plumbing, or even just new light fixtures and windows.
Do you have time for maintenance?  Is a "fixer-upper" worth your evenings and weekends?  There will be little projects that will be necessary along the way.
What style do you prefer?
Many of the older homes offer gabled roofing, bay windows, unique trim details and other characteristics.  In newer homes you'll find clean straight lines and open floorplans.  Which would you prefer?
How about location and space?
A lot of the time, older homes were cheaper to construct, and often the land was gifted to the homeowner.  Which meant more land, back in the day.  More recently, neighborhoods are designed for quantity and community so the homesites are significantly smaller.

Home buying is a process, and sometimes the answers will come easily.  Sometimes the answer deserves some thought and consideration.  Call Amanda for all your home buying needs!  She would love to walk you through the entire process!

If you've been waiting to buy a house, your wait may be over!

If you've been waiting to buy a house, your wait may be over.  Buying a home before 2014 may be in your best bet in the long run.  For instance, if you could buy milk and eggs at today's prices for the next thirty years, would you agree to it?  Of course you would!  These are necessities in most people's homes and would it be nice to avoid inflation and hedge against the rising cost of goods.
 Waiting to Buy a house

The same goes for housing.  A 30 year fixed rate mortgage at today's rates will protect your mortgage and housing expenses from inflation.  When inflation takes hold, it will eat up more of your income, which is why a fixed rate mortgage will be helpful.  Call Amanda for more information about buying homes in the Jacksonville and surrounding areas!  It's time to stop waiting to buy a house and start looking!

Write The Best For Sale By Owner Ad!

As a For Sale By Owner, you'll want your description to make a very significant first impression.  It's your first opportunity to make a potential buyer contact you!
Writing a real estate for sale by owner ad can be difficult, despite the fact that most publications and sites have a strict word limit.  There are several important things you need to say and a few tricks that will help you make the real estate ad text more exciting.

Flashy Title
Usually the first thing a homebuyer sees when searching is the title of the listing and the photos.  These two factors will determine whether or not they click thru or keep looking at yours.  Your catchy title should include the location, price, and briefly, the features.  Squeezing that much information into a title can be challenging.  However, your title can sell your for sale by owner property.
No cliches and Be specific!
Look at other real estate ads- notice the repeated phrases?  Don't use those.  They're safe and easy, but no one gets excited by it.  And be specific!  Don't say "modern bathroom."  Instead, describe what makes it modern.
Write a Little Bit About the Neighborhood
You have an advantage over most Realtors because you can personally account for what the neighbors are like and share details about the community.  What makes your neighborhood special, and worth relocating to?
Encourage Potential Buyers to Ask Questions!
Provide a few communication options.  Texting, emailing and chat are very popular possibilities.  The perfect for sale by owner listing is difficult to create. But keep it original and fresh.  Be specific and descriptive.  Spending some time on writing a house listing that stands out can help you sell your house faster.  The results are worth the effort!  Contact me today for more information on selling for sale by owner.  I'd love to help!!
