Are You Ready to Buy Up?


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.

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
