Market insight

While building a new home allows for customization, buying a home that has already been lived in has its own perks. 

As our lives change over time, so can our housing needs. You may find that you have outgrown your current home, or maybe you are in a better place financially and you want a newer, more spacious one.

Depending on the home sales in the area you are looking to buy in, prices of homes you have your eye on may increase or decrease.

Buying a home is great. You get a property all your own – one you can decorate, paint, update, renovate and really make your own – and you also enjoy lower monthly payments than you generally would in a rental. It’s a win-win, right? Sure, but the real advantage of home ownership lies in this two-word phrase: home equity.
