The Difference between Renting & Buying a Home

When deciding between buying a home or renting, think about these 3 important factors:

 

 

1. Buying a Home Means Avoiding Rising Rents

When you Rent:  Your monthly payment generally goes up each time you sign or renew a lease.

When you Buy:  With your fixed-rate mortgage, your monthly payment is locked in for the length of your home loan.

 

 

 

 

2. Homeowners Own a Tangible and Valuable Asset

When you Rent:  You won’t get any return on your investment as you pay your rent monthly. 

When you Buy:  As home prices rise, and as you pay down your home loan, you build equity.

 

 

 

 

3. Owning Your Home Grows Your Wealth Over Time

When you Rent:  When the cost of renting goes up, it’s more difficult to save money for a down payment to buy a home. 

When you Buy:  As you build equity through the years, you give your net worth a big boost. 

 

If you’re ready to enjoy the advantages of owning a home, let’s connect to discuss your options. @ Shea Preferred Realty

 

T.J.’s Farm Life

Watch our Video!

Growing up on a farm meant a carefree life, running wild from sunrise to sunset.
But there’s one thing that used to happen back then that’s pretty strange by today’s standards.

Kids, around 10 or 11 years old, would take the trash out to a big barrel with gasoline and a match.
⠀
Parents would casually say, ‘It’s time to go burn the trash. Imagine doing that nowadays!

Grandparents and Moving Closer to Family

Now that the pandemic has passed, many grandparents want more than ever to be near their grandchildren again to make up for that lost time. But how are they getting that “Grandparent Wish?” The data tells us many are moving to make sure they’re getting more quality time.

 

  • Grandparents Moving Closer to Grandkids

During the pandemic, many grandparents had to stay apart from their beloved grandchildren for safety reasons. But now, things are changing, and grandparents are making a move to get back that precious lost time.

  • Grandparents Making Big Moves

Recent data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reveals that people aged 55 to 74 are making significant moves, often more than 100 miles away.

  • Bringing Generations Closer

According to the same NAR report, the top reason for moving is to be near loved ones. Grandparents, in particular, are making these moves to spend more quality time with their grandchildren.

 

If you’re planning to move, we will be glad to help you! Reach us anytime @ Shea Preferred Realty Group

Buying and Selling Simultaneously

In a perfect world, buying and selling simultaneously would go according to schedule. 
The reality is it doesn’t always pan out as nice and timely as you would like. 
Thankfully, there are a few tricks and strategies you can utilize to smooth out any wrinkles in the plan.

1) Leasebacks –  Leasebacks allow you to sell your home and then rent it back temporarily from the new owner. 
It buys you time to find and close on your dream home without rushing or having to move twice.

2) Bridge loans – This type of loan acts as a temporary financing solution, bridging the financial gap between selling your current home and purchasing a new one. They often involve two phases. 

Phase 1 – You may not have to make monthly payments on your new home, but interest accrues.

Phase 2 – Once your current home sells, you use the proceeds to pay off the bridge loan, including accrued interest.

 

Keep in mind a bridge loan can free you from the contingency of selling your current home before buying a new one.

If you’re planning to buy and sell at the same time, swipe for a few more dos and don’ts.
