Chances are when you bought your first home in the Windsor Ontario or Essex County area, you were thinking of it as a "starter" and dreamed of owning a larger and better home one day!
With today's mortgage rates at record lows and Windsor Ontario real estate prices on homes extremely affordable, you might be pleasantly surprised that you can afford that "move up" house you've been dreaming about. Using the equity you've built up in your current home, your carrying charges may not be much larger than what you are already used to paying. You might say "I will lose too much if I sell my home in Windsor Ontario's slowing market", but if the market value is down 10% on your smaller home and down 10% on the bigger home you'd like to buy, you are actually saving more money to move now! If you are curious to find out, ask a RealtorŪ to help you calculate carrying costs on a "move up" home.
There are quite a few reasons why you may wish to move to a larger home, including a growing family, the desire to have more bedrooms so the kids can have their own space, or maybe you want a larger yard, a garage or a home with a private driveway. Whatever your reasons, moving up to a new home can be very satisfying.
It's also a smart idea because the equity in your home will continue to grow and the value of a bigger and better home will be greater over time. As well, the pride of ownership in a bigger house will probably be even greater than you had when you bought your first home.
When you decide that moving up is the way to go, be sure to enlist the services of a RealtorŪ knowledgeable in the area of Windsor Ontario or Essex County you are interested in, we can help you make the right choices. After all real estate is our business. You wouldn't go to a shoe salesperson for a car, right?
