Re: Thinking of buying a new home in tv
Certainly you should check out both new and preowned.
Advantages of new: New home
You can pretty much pick your major items and lot
Usually makes for easier friendships with neighbors as all of you are new
and in the same boat at once.
Good value and incentives
Advantages of resale: More pick of what neighborhood you want to be in.
Usually better landscaping
You are able to negotiate things like price and closing dates
Values have slipped here in the last year or two. Certainly not as much as in the rest of the country. Most believe that the only thing holding us back here in tv is the inability for those wanting to move here to sell their homes back up north so they only have one mortgage.
This winter should be a good time for you to buy. We bought in Feb of 2005 and were originally expecting to move in 5 years, but we just fell in love with this eutopia and moved down full time in July 06. Dont worry about being 57. The three couples at the end of our block, we are all in our 50s. Age here has very little to do with anything.
