Is the Timing Right to Buy South Jersey Real Estate?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty


There are many wonderful reasons to want a home of your own. Right now is an excellent time to pick up a great deal on South Jersey real estate. It's definitely a buyer's market where you can purchase homes at historically low prices. To be sure the time is right for you, answer a few simple questions for yourself:


Are you ready to stay put for more than three years?
If you move around a lot, have a job that sends you to different locales all the time, or just haven't found the area you want to settle down in, it can be a bad time to buy South Jersey real estate no matter how great the price. Selling a home and moving is much harder than just switching apartments or other rental units. However, if you are ready to settle in a spot for a number of years, the value you get from owning your own home is well worth it, especially now.


Can you afford it?
There's more to owning a home than just the cost of the mortgage. Other costs added to a typical mortgage include homeowner's insurance and property taxes.   These add hundreds of dollars a month to the simple mortgage costs. On top of those are routine repairs and upkeep that will be your responsibility instead of a landlord's.


Do you value the pride of ownership?
For many people, the pride of owning their own home is a primary factor in purchasing South Jersey real estate. There is a feeling of success and security when you own your home that won't be fulfilled with any rental.
