Will The Home I Buy Will Appreciate In Value?

As a buyer’s representative my buyer’s best option is to connect with me, your Realtor and together study the area you desire to live in and do the homework to learn as much about that particular area as possible. As your local Realtor I can provide you with an overwhelming amount of information – because I know the territory!

In some areas, homes closer to town centers and recreation areas are valued higher and appraise at a more rapid rate because of the desire of the public to shorten their commute to and from work and play (I can run a report showing the sales, listing times, properties on the market for the past several months ~ or however rapidly the local market might be changing). It is also possible you may get a nicer and larger home for the same price, if willing to consider a longer drive to work or play and the chosen home may grow over time to become a great property buy. Studying the town future land use map, which can be obtained at the Town of Truckee website www.TownofTruckee.com will provide useful information on Nevada and Placer County plans for the future.

The most often quoted rule is that location, location, location. Typically, you will want to make sure the house does not back to busy streets or front them for that matter. Avoid corners and intersections. Choose mid block or a cul-de-sac. My suggestions are always to stay away from homes which are considered “unique” (or really means ‘strange’) unless of course they appeal to a wide range of people.

You’ll want to be sure the home has at least two bathrooms, unless you plan to remodel. Obviously if you are buying as a second/vacation home this will be necessary for privacy! Also, buying a smaller home in a fabulous neighborhood might provide for appreciation. You probably already know about the schools and shopping convenience, as well as potentials which might detract from the property value. Having me as your professional Realtor to advise you is the best bet for you the buyer. Remember, that I really want your repeat business (it’s a small town)! And as a true professional I would ever tell an untruth to you, my client and future friend.

Sometimes it is just timing that works out to provide you appreciation gains; for instance buying that home before a major surge in local market prices. This would be related to the need to be informed about the area before purchasing the home: Your Realtor, Bonnie Jessee 530 412 3984~CALL ME.
