A
few years ago, when the economy and the real estate market was
fragile, "downsizing" was the buzzword of the day. Happily,
today the market is recovering and robust, and buyer confidence is
high. Many real estate clients are presently in a position of being
able to buy up. Of course, this buyer attitude also bodes well for
sellers! In real estate, what's good for one is usually good for the
other.
The
types of clients considering buying up are diverse. Young
professionals make a up a healthy part of this demographic. They are
often financially secure, savvy with money, and ambitious. You might
say these are the people who have worked hard and are now "at
the top of their game". It's likely those in this group want to
move into a thriving urban area and be close to the action. They
value their leisure time, and spending it in a long commute just
isn't in their plans when they think of a happy life! Neighborhoods
like Arcadia, with it's established residences, retro vibe, and
proximity to trendy businesses, is a popular location for many in
this buyer group. It's safe to say these types of clients usually
aren't looking for fixer uppers -- they are too busy with both work
and play.
In
addition to our young professionals, there are a multitude of others
who might be a part of this pool of buyers: empty nesters,
executives, and families who have outgrown their starter home are
just a few more examples of the type of client able to buy up. Do you
think you might be in the exciting position of being able to buy into
your dream home? Your Realtor is an excellent resource for guidance
and advice as you consider your options to move up.
