Moving Up In a Down Market

If you bought your home several years ago and decide that you want to move, this is a good opportunity to make a move up. You might not get as much money for your current home, but you will make it up on the buying end.

Example:

Your home was once with $350,000

  • $350,000 (peak price)
  • -52,500 ( down 15 % from peak)
  • $297,500 (current price)

The home that you wanted to move up to was listed at $750,000

  • $750,000
  • -112,500 (down 15% from peak)
  • $637,500 (current price)

$112,500 savings on the purchase of their new

$52,500 loss of their old home

$60,000 GAINED!

You can afford to sell move up in the correct market if you price home accordingly to recent years!

Hmmm....I really don't know how you arrived at the gain if you have to pay more for the house you're moving up to...., no matter how much cheaper the new house is.....

Also something that everyone should keep in mind... Obama just got done printing $1 Trillion worth of money... Inflation is just around the corner... One of the best places you can part your money as an investment in an inflationary environment is real estate (and gold). Not to mention buying right now will lock you in at a very affordable rate during the inflationary environment.

Jonathan,

I've been telling move up buyer's a version of this for quite some time.  They will make up the "on paper" loss on their current home on the buy side, its a no brain-er IMO.  By the way, if you have any clients looking for vacation homes or rental investments in Central Florida I'd love to send you a referral check!  Lets do some business!
