Investing in a Vacation Home

Whether you want to invest in a vacation home in the hills and valleys of the Berkshires, the islands of Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard, the ski mountains of Vermont, or the Swiss Alps The Attias Group Real Estate believes now is the time to buy.

According to the National Association of Realtors, the sale of vacation homes last year increased 10.1% and accounted for 11% of all home sales. This surge attracted not only real estate investors but also individuals looking to take advantage of good buying opportunities.

So why invest now?

The real estate market slows down during the winter months (with the exception of ski resort destinations) because of weather conditions, the holiday season, and less desirable home marketing opportunities. These situations give you, the buyer, the advantage as there are fewer buyers in the market place to compete with, price reduction occurs, sellers may be motivated to sell due to lower showing counts, so there is less chance of a bidding war. If you’re considering a second home for your family or for investment purposes, the winter months allow for greater opportunities and lower closing prices.

Here at The Attias Group we work with a network of realtors located both nationally and internationally. Our network of out-of-state realtors offers not only a local connection to your destination of choice, but neighborhood dissection, market condition analytics, and expert client driven advice on the local real estate market. They can answer questions on state and local taxes, short-term and long-term financing options, insurance requirements, and rental opportunities if you are looking to buy for investment purposes.
