Purchasing a Home in Hinesville, Georgia

Home-buyers purchasing a home in Hinesville, Georgia are enjoying an interesting trend. New foreclosure homes are entering the market every day, existing homes sales are sluggish, and New Construction communities are popping up everywhere. Subdivisions that once sat idle are now bursting with activity and expanding to “Phase II” and “Phase III”.  As builders answer the demand from buyers for more affordable homes, better values, the demand for new homes is experiencing a radical change. When was the last time you saw a NEW HOME listed for $62 per square foot?  (HEATED!) Just a few years ago, it was not uncommon to purchase a 2500 square foot home for around $250,000; now, you can easily find a 3000+ square foot home for around $200,000.  Combine an affordable purchase price with extraordinarily low interest rates, and you could conceivably pay less on a house note than you would to rent an apartment.

Some professionals say, “This trend can’t last” and others even say, “It is hurting home values”.  I wish I had the answer. I don’t. My recommendation: if you are ready to purchase a new home as a “First Time Buyer” or if you are ready to “Step Up”, now is the time. Check out the new wave of affordable housing and enjoy the ride.  www.hsHomesOnline.com.  Don’t forget to check out the many programs that are still available that will help you save money on your purchase.  Homes for Heroes is a program that provides extra discounts/rebates for qualified Home Buyers.  In Hinesville, Georgia, call Lisa Scales for more information.
