There are lots of great reasons to buy a home.

The reasons you’ll usually hear are practical and financial ones like:

• Appreciation (grow your nest egg/investment)
• Mortgage Interest and Property Tax Deductions (especially where it makes sense on a higher-end/jumbo loan home)
• Exclusion from Capital Gains
• Prices are Attractive/Bending toward Buyer’s benefit
• Mortgage Rates are Low

These are all very good reasons!  But, as I read recently, if financial considerations were the only motivator, we’d all “Buy Low/Sell High” every single time.  We don’t do that.  I mean, sometimes the circumstances are just right for us to do that & that’s fabulous! But mostly people buy homes for the following reasons:

• Family is growing/need more space
• Just want a nicer house
• Renting now & tired of contributing to landlord’s equity w/no personal gain
• Be closer to work, work location changed, etc
• Get child into a desired school or district
• Move out of a condo to have more control over property
• Move into a condo to have less responsibility for maintenance
• Downsizing
• Want to be closer to shops/restaurants/services
• Want to be farther away from the hubbub of activity and traffic

So… all of these reasons revolve around making your Life better. That’s why I always say I help people change their lives through buying or selling real estate. Its just what its all about ; )

As we all slow down a bit, most of us celebrate renewal this time of year with Easter, Passover or other traditions.  As I was out showing properties today, I was noticing the way we really are all in this together. Standing six feel apart with our masks on, I slowly and carefully remove the keys from the lockbox with a sanitizing wipe and move through all the precautions we are taking nowadays… fresh booties at each house, gloves, more wipes, hand sanitizer… We carefully tiptoe into people’s homes pondering if this one might be “the one”, careful to respect the human life that inhabits each home and leaving everything untouched and “safe” for those who follow behind or return home. We are all slowed down together.  Still moving forward with our various dreams and plans… just a little slower and a bit more thoughtfully. Considering each other slightly more seriously. Considering ourselves. It is a very sweet realization amid the madness… to see and to help the dreams unfold, and again to notice the truth of the fact that we really are all in this together.

How poignant the holiday of renewal at this moment in time.

May each of our my readers be safe & healthy, and may your dreams stay intact and your plans proceed unhindered. My hope is that we all emerge with a renewed & lasting appreciation for each other and our unique yet intertwined lives in the years ahead.
