Best Time to Buy New!

2011-04-05T13:16:00.000-07:00

There's good news on the horizon for the housing market according to an article by Fortune Magazine; Real estate: It's time to buy again. Mike Castleman, founder and CEO of Metrostudy, the nation's leading provider of housing marketing information, has been analyzing data on the country's new home inventory for over thirty years.

From what he has seen from the information Metrostudy has gathered on the current new home inventory, Castleman believes that there is a significant shortage of new homes around the country and this shortage will lead to an increase of new home prices, a complete 180 from the new home surplus that contributed to lower prices just a few years ago.

In their article, Fortune magazine recognizes that there is a lot of conflicting information out there about where the housing market is headed but offers their advice about determining the true path of real estate in this country.

The article cites two basic factors that are now creating the foundation for a residential real estate turnaround: the first being the unprecedented decline of new construction and the second is a dramatic drop in prices. The reason behind this factors, Fortune states, is the "astonishing flight from the traditional American approach of buying new houses to an embrace of renting." In roughly half of the major real estate markets paying a mortgage on a house is cheaper than renting one.

Moody Analytics' chief economist Mark Zandy is quoted in the article saying that he expects prices in "virtually all" markets where homes prices went up less than in other "bubble" areas to rise faster than inflation to align with rent prices as apartments are in short supply.

In the true disaster areas for housing, Sunbelt cities such as Miami, Phoenix and Las Vegas, are seeing their markets recover slowly but surely. Foreclosures are attracting investors big and small and while available new homes are few, they are slowly growing.

Each real estate market is different, but over all, the decrease of available new homes, more people opting to rent rather than buy plus an overall decline in housing prices makes new homeownership a worthy investment. In the future, Castleman predicts, supplies will get tight due to demand and that will lead to a rise in prices. What does this mean for the potential homebuyer? Buy now before demand brings prices back up! To read the complete article click here.

Throughout these financial ups and downs our economy is suffering, Synergy Designer Homes continues to be a constant source for new homes in both established and new communities in and around Savannah, Georgia. If you are considering purchasing a new home, especially as a first time home buyer, now is the time to buy! You can choose from many new quality homes already built or custom build your own dream home from the ground up.

Top 10 Reasons to Live in Richmond Hill

2011-02-04T08:52:00.000-08:00

Rich History: Living in Richmond Hill, one can’t help but experience the rich cultural and economic history of this once poverty-stricken town. Henry Ford helped build schools, homes, promoted farming and gave Richmond Hill the building blocks for a better, more vibrant and fast-growing community.

Premier Housing Communities: Richmond Hill is home to many top-rate communities, both gated and non-gated, that feature first class amenities, easy access to the town and affordable new construction housing.

Mild Weather: One reason to live in Richmond Hill is the area’s temperate climate. The winters are mild with hardly any snow; summers are warm with cooling afternoon showers.

Proximity to Military Bases: Both Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield are conveniently located near Richmond Hill making it an ideal home for both military and civilians working at either base.

Coastal City: Richmond Hill is a coastal city with access to the Ogeechee River and the Intercoastal Waterway. Richmond Hill is also home to the Ft McAllister Marina located on the Ogeechee River. There are many homes for sale that offer scenic waterfront living along the miles of protected marshlands. With such direct access to the sea, fresh seafood is always available in local markets or restaurants.

Small Town Feel: While one of the state’s fastest growing towns, Richmond Hill still retains its small-town charm. Richmond Hill boasts a low crime rate, low taxes and less traffic than the bigger cities, all good reasons to make the move!

School System: Have kids or planning to have kids? More and more families move to Richmond Hill because of its excellent school system with a variety of educational experiences. From Elementary all the way to High School, Richmond Hill schools are some of the best in the state.

Close to Savannah: If you are looking for the big-city experience, Savannah is only minutes away off of I-95. Living in Richmond Hill you still have easy access to the Savannah Mall, fine restaurants, hospitals, the Savannah/Hilton Head international airport, and Savannah’s beautiful historic district.

Quality Amenities: With a plethora of antique shops, boutiques and relaxing spas, quality restaurants and cafes, Richmond Hill offers many unique shopping and dining experiences. Another reason to live in Richmond Hill is the many recreational experiences such as golf courses, camping, museums and yearly local social activities such as the Ogeechee Seafood Festival.
