Donna O’Neal, one of the Coldwell Banker High Country Realty team members shares information on what every purchaser must do before purchasing a second home in the mountains. Whether you are searching for a cabin style home or a more traditional home, you will want to consider many things before you begin the shopping process. We so often visit with new clients who are in the “dreaming stage” of purchasing a vacation property or a second home. Now that a buyer can search on the internet for nearly all homes for sale, the process can be a bit daunting. Donna outlines the things to consider before looking a the first property. Understanding how you will use the home, how many people are likely to stay in the home, what type of location, will you be financing, how long do you intend to own the property, are just a few of the things that should be considered. Recently I visited with a couple who purchased a home in Blue Ridge just a few years ago. They like so many got caught up in the excitement of purchasing their little escape to the mountains. When they purchased, they had not considered how many visitors they would have once they owned in the mountains. They quickly discovered the home they purchased was too small for their entertaining needs. So…their dream home is now on the market and we are searching for one that more appropriately meets their needs. No one can anticipate all features and benefits needed in a second home, but taking a little time to think about the future will help you purchase just the right home! Please take a moment to watch Donna’s instructional video, and please visit www.cbHighCountry.com to begin searching for that perfect property.
