Don’t chase the market

By Jessica LeDoux, March 8, 2021

Being frugal or conservative are both very sound ways of analyzing huge financial decisions. These characteristics are critical when entering the real estate market, but they also can cause you to chase a growing market. It is important to balance this nature with a broader perspective by not simply analyzing each home fiscally.  Home ownership is more than an investment, it is shelter and security. If one can shift their conservative thinking to focus on longevity, the unchangeable elements of a home, and future options within their means, this will inherently protect one’s investment no matter what direction the market goes. This balanced perspective is what our team works diligently to help buyers see because if you purchase a home wisely, that home will provide you with many years and will prevent the feeling of having to move. Instead it will allow you to time your sale in the most optimal market for a return on your investment when the time comes to sell.
