I’m new to the DC area. Is it better for me to rent or to buy a home?

Historically, homeownership has been a major impetus to wealth building.  Due to record setting interest rates and the array of financial packages currently available, buying a home can be a wise investment strategy.  Homeownership also provides a level of comfort and a sense of well being.  That kind of security is priceless for individuals in general and for families in particular.

In your opinion, why is this an exciting time to buy a home in the DC metropolitan area?

Every year for the past three decades, thousands of newcomers have relocated to the metro area, making DC one of the nation’s most transient communities. As a political, commercial, and transportation center, the metro area boasts an array of cultural and employment opportunities for people of all ages, professions and income levels.  That being so, the future of the region is brighter than ever, making this a great place to buy a home.

Again, favorable interest rates and attractive financial packages are enabling homeowners to maximize the value of their investment in real estate like no other time in recent history.  So this an ideal time to sell property in the metro area.

What are the most important considerations in buying a home?

Whenever a family is searching for their dream home, there needs to be a great deal of consideration for their financial situation, as well as dialogue about the desired size of the home, its location, and the family’s educational needs. Consequently, prior to showing a client a single home I conduct a thorough analysis of the potential buyer’s living needs. By identifying such concerns as the family’s desired location, the home’s proximity to excellent schools, as well as a reasonable range for the commute to work, I am able to determine which considerations each client deems the most important to their home purchase. Only then do I encourage my clients to consider things such as amenities and I tailor their home search accordingly.
