Fort Myers Area and National Real Estate News.
Real Estate remains a solid investment despite fears about dropping values.
News headlines routinely pop up proclaiming the "housing bubble is about to burst". Such pessimism is unfortunate because it can cause some of us non-economists to become nervous about our home investment. A housing bubble that bursts is shorthand for a hot seller's market in which home values suddenly decrease, similar to a stock market crash. Average home values in the United States have increased 60 percent in the past five years. That's great growth, but it's also a rate that won't likely continue indefinitely. It is very important to remember that although some housing markets may cool or slow down, historically, owning a home is an excellent investment. Here are a few factors to consider.
"All real estate is local," to paraphrase a saying more often used to describe politics. Local market conditions, including new housing construction rates, existing housing supplies, rental rates and employment levels, affect home prices in a given area. Your Century 21 Prestige representative will be able to help guide you through the Fort Myers area market conditions, whether in listing your house at the right price or in placing a successful offer on a new property.
A get-rich-quick mentality that encourages owners to quickly remodel and sell undervalued properties for huge profits isn't what most of us call homeownership. Instead it's about finding an ideal place to live and having our home equity and value grow over time.
If a given market slows down, or otherwise becomes a buyer's market your Century 21 Prestige representative's expertise may become even more valuable in marketing and negotiating the best price for your property.
Wondering whether it's time to purchase another home? Looking for ways to preserve or improve your home's value? Consult your Century 21 representative for his or her take on your local market.
