Why Rent? BUY NOW!

Freaked by the housing market , more would-be home buyers are opting for rentals – driving rents up along the way. But it’s not just rising rents that new renters have to worry about. A handful of new costs could make renting less than the bargain it appears.

The average national vacancy rate for rentals fell 17% last year to 6.6%, according to Reis, Inc., which tracks rental performance data. And as renting has gotten more popular, prices have jumped. The average monthly rent, including studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments is now $986, based on Reis data. Before the recession, the average was just $930. And in some markets, it’s far worse: In New York, rents are up 9% on average in the last five years; in San Jose, they’re up 8%.

The Sutton - Unit 2

The week of January 10, 2011 was the week of the blizzard in Georgia!  Metro Atlanta Counties were covered in snow anywhere from 4″-10″ depending on where you were .  Well, “Snowmaggedon” as it has been refered to it was a very busy week here at Touchstone and New Haven Walk!  After a drought of potential customers in this luxury townhome community located at the corner of Houze Road and Houze Way, we had two relocation buyers come in and fall in love at first sight with these gorgeous 3-story townhomes during Snowmaggedon!!!  Both proposects were converted to Buyers and are set to close within 3 days of each other in early March.

New Haven Walk townhomes started with 8 townhomes with a total of 16 townhomes at completion.  Now with 7 townhomes sold or under contract, the Builder is faced with the decision to build another 4-unit building.  This community has been featured in the Roswell Review newspaper, shown on Atlanta’s Best New Homes TV show on Fox 5 and the Winslow Plan was awarded an OBIE Award by the Atlanta Sales & Marketing Council in 2009 for best Townhome Plan in the $300,000 price range.

The Sutton plan is a 3-story townhome with 4th floor attic space that has been floored for storage.  The home boasts 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, dual master suites with a fireplace in one of the upstairs bedrooms, hardwood floors, large kitchen with granite countertops, tile backsplash, and Jenn-Air Appliances stainless steel appliances in your gourmet kitchen.  There is a large family room with a corner stacked stone fireplace, wrought iron spindles and designer paint colors.   The master bath has dual vanities, granite countertops and a tiled walk in shower and a separate jetted tub.   The downstairs can be used as a media room or recreation room as well.  You can own this home for $334,900, reduced from $428,718.  For more information call Sharon Jones at 678-461-6011 (office) or 678-232-9151 (cell) or email sjones@touchstonehomes.com.   Click here to watch a Virtual Tour of the community and homes.

Sure, maybe there’s more pain to come in the housing market. But when Time magazine starts running covers that declare “Owning a home may no longer make economic sense,” it’s time to say: Enough is enough. This is what “capitulation” looks like. Everyone has given up.

After all, at the peak of the bubble five years ago, Time had a different take. “Home Sweet Home,” declared its cover then, as it celebrated the boom and asked: “Will your house make you rich?”

But it’s not enough just to be contrarian. So here are 10 reasons why it’s good to buy a home.  Read more….
