Buy Virginia Beach Home with Resale in Mind.

August 06, 2009

If  your goal is to Buy aVirginia Beach Home then Resale at the top of your Mind.

 In this article, I will discuss in detail the very important reasons why anytime you buy a home, you foremost consideration is the resale value of the home. In other words how much can I make on this sucker when I get ready to sell?

For example, you and your wife may only need a one bedroom, since you have no children, but a one bedroom is difficult to resale so be sure and buy at least a 2 bedroom and strive for a three bedroom.  The resale value of a three bedroom is significantly more than that of a two or three bedroom. In addition to that, the three bedroom will sell faster and for more than a two or three bedroom. In our Virginia Beach area here, the four bedrooms are at a premium and difficult to come in contact with.

Remember when buying a home, its very unlikely that we will live in the home for the rest of our life. In most cases most folks move to a new location on the average every four years.

So the bottom line is we need to remember that after living in the home for a period, we will want to sell it to someone else.
Also never forget that they say “Location!, Location!, Location!” and if you do not adhere to that very important saying, when you get ready to sell you may find yourself in a loss situation, as no one want to buy a house in a bad neighborhood. 

Bad neighborhoods may be defined as drug activity, high crime rate or just noisy neighborhoods.
When trying to sell a home in a bad neighborhood, invariably means a loss in money and sometimes not being able to sell for any price.  And if you loose money, you will not be a happy camper.  There are tons of homes out there in good neighborhoods and in good condition.
When you get ready to resell the property, most likely the buyer will want to employ a home inspector to determine the condition of the property. So word to the wise, its best that you use a professional home inspector during your purchase to protect you against buying a property that will not pass the home inspection when you get ready to sell.

  1. Virginia Beach Real Estate Says:

    Amen to that, the last home we purchased was bought on just the fact that we fell in love with the home, and we ended up paying much more than what it was worth. Needless to say we lost our butt in the operation. When we sold the Virginia Beach Property several years later, we lost a grand $5,700.00 and had little to show for it..
