Lower Cost of Entry for Investors Possible
Where can rehab investors and then consequently finished residence inhabitants expect to get the most for their money? Realtor.com has published a roundup of the 10 cities with the lowest cost of living, enabling the population to stretch their dollars further.
“The metros with the lowest cost of living are largely concentrated in the South and the Midwest,” says Realtor.com senior economic research analyst Hannah Jones. “These areas tend to be smaller, with only Birmingham, AL, representing the 50 largest U.S. metros, as the 50th largest.”
As single-family home starts continue to trend higher, now is the perfect time to consider starting a new build. According to NAHB, “The September reading of 1.35 million starts is the number of housing units builders would begin if development kept this pace for the next 12 months.
Within this overall number, single-family starts increased 2.7% to a 1.03 million seasonally adjusted annual rate. On a year-to-date basis, single-family construction is up 10.1%.”. With the housing market showing positive growth, especially in September, seizing this moment can help you take advantage of favorable conditions and maximize your investment potential. Don't miss the opportunity to begin your next home project and profit soon!
Home Buying Demand Stays Strong Despite Economic and Election Uncertainties
Redfin has more good news for investors: “Pending U.S. home sales rose 3.5% year over year during the four weeks ending October 20, the biggest increase in three years (with the exception of the prior 4-week period, when they rose 3.7%).
"On a local level, pending sales are up in 35 of the 50 most populous U.S. metros, the most in three years.” With housing demand holding strong despite rising mortgage rates, now is an ideal time to invest in a new fix-to-flip property. Start your next venture today and capitalize on these favorable conditions.
