Investing in Real Estate is always a big decision. Factors such as price, location, and timing are all ingredients to making a good investment. For the last 25 years the Blue Ridge Mountain region has experienced a steady increase in value. Unlike the west coast, South Florida, and other areas that seem to boom or bust every few years we stay on a slow but steady pace. Some refer to it as mountain time. Things get done, things move, but at a much slower pace. Maybe it's because you have to pause more to take in the scenery.
We get many inquiries looking for real estate bargains in the mountains. Our response is "prices are at the lowest point we have seen them in the last five years." If you are looking for the mountain home, lot, or business, now is the time to buy. If you are looking for the 70% off bargains you will find in other parts of the US, good luck. Most people buy here for personal reasons rather than the fast dollar flip. Not to say that you can't make a good profit on your investment. We never experienced the big run up in price, so we have not experienced the big drop in value. People tend to buy property in the mountains, enjoy it, then past it on to their family. Many of our part time residents are developers and real estate professionals who came here to get away from the hectic pace their work demands in other parts of the country. From a lot for the future, to a mountain top estate, our member Realtors will find the right property to meet your budget, needs, and dreams.
