Greetings!
THE ECONOMY
If you have any doubts about the true value that a home
represents, visit your local home improvement store on a Saturday morning. After a hard week's work, what could
possibly motivate people to walk the aisles seeking plants, decorative fixtures
or new appliances? The answer is
homeownership.
An integral part of the
American dream, a home is where memories are made and how many individuals gain
the opportunity to build wealth over time. Homeownership has a significant impact, not only on the individual but
also the community and economy at large.
Home construction has a measurable impact on the economy,
generating employment in a number of industries. Residential real estate:
-
creates demand for both skilled and unskilled
labor in the construction sector.
-
drives the need for manufacturing jobs within
industries that supply materials and equipment such as lumber, fixtures, and
appliances.
-
propels employment in the businesses that
service homeowners, including real estate, mortgage banking and home
furnishings.
The economy is further stimulated by the collection of taxes
at both the federal and local level. Each worker contributing to real-estate-related commerce pays federal,
state and Social Security tax. Every
business impacted pays taxes as well. When purchasing materials for construction, further sales taxes are
levied. Added to this pool of revenue
are fees for services such as utility installments and building permit
approvals.
Now is the time to purchase! The home prices are low and long-term financing is currently under 5%.

A Place to Call Home...
| Location, location, location! The most important characteristic when
determining the value of real estate continues to prevail. When you
decide where to live, you are not only choosing a home, you are buying
into a neighborhood. A community's physical and social qualities have a
major impact on the market value of the house, the desirability of the neighborhood and the lifestyle of its residents. Read More

We recently had the joy of buying a Villages condo

obstacles. Carla kept on top of everything and made the
whole process run smoothly. Thank you. - Jim and Maggie Brady, Village Verano, The Villages
