Top 10 Reasons to Stop Renting in Cary NC

Are you renting in Cary?

Top 10 Reasons to Stop Renting in Cary

1. Improving economy over the next few years will mean more buyers
2. More buyers means less inventory - less homes for sale
3. Less inventory means high prices - supply and demand
4. Renters throw away on average $15,000 to $20,000 per year in rent
5. Buying an affordable home in Raleigh would be less than renting
6. Buying a home means your $15-20k goes in your pocket - not someone elses
7. Start building equity by getting in at the bottom of the market
8. Move up to a bigger home in 2 years using your equity - let me show you how
9. Long term financial planning should include home ownership
10. Make roots - find a place to call your own! 

Hey, maybe it's not your dream home, but 2-3 years is pretty short in the scheme of things.  You don't have to live there forever.  Find a place with good value that you can use as your personal saving account.  Build equity and move up.  That's how you succeed in real estate.  Let me help you make the right moves.

Here are some affordable options in Cary to consider. Homes for Sale in Cary Under $200,000

Cary Foreclosures and Shortsales

Cary Foreclosures and Shortsales

Limited Inventory Means High Demand

Luckily our market has not seen high inventory of short sales and foreclosures, but unfortunately it does happen.  Everyone is looking for a deal, so when these homes come on the market, the demand is there.  They are often snapped up in the first days on the market.  If you want to be the first to know of new listings, sign up for my listing alerts below.

Keep in mind, that you can also find great deals on "regular" homes too.  Often times, there is more room for negotiation and more flexible terms.  Let me help negotiate a great deal for you!
