Colorado Springs Real Estate by Hughes


Can you afford a second home?

Some tips to help you assess if you are ready to invest in a second home:

1. Look at your income, savings, future expenses, and spending habits to determine what you can afford.

2. Look at your three credit reports. If your credit score needs improving, contact a credit counseling agency or mortgage broker for advice.

3. Create a budget.

4. Consider tax implications such as property taxes, as well as income tax on a rented home.

Finally, a bottom for home prices

The Kiplinger news reported that housing prices are expected to stop sinking in the spring but that recovery will be gradual. The predicted growth  won't be dramatic. They expect home prices to rise 3 to 4 % in 2013.

Foreclosure numbers are set to level off. 3.5 million foreclosures are still in the pipeline but the effect is predicted to deminish when it becomes clear that the worst has passed. 

Home sales are predicted to go up this year to 5.5 million for new and existing homes, a 4% increase from 2011.
