A second home in Scottsdale offer some great benefits such as for investment, tax savings, and of course pure pleasure.

There has never been a better time to own a second home in the Valley. Demographics, lifestyle preferences, lower costs of ownership, tax-saving benefits, and the ongoing property appreciation are driving demand and growing market for second homes in the Valley

Our baby boom bulge in the population is now pushing into the age categories that include the largest numbers of second-home purchasers in history. Now, an expanding market for second homes coupled with increasing competition among mortgage lenders, record low mortgage rates, Arizona's tax law that allows one second home at a primary home's mortgage interest rate, and competition among property insurers is bringing down the costs and difficulties of second-home ownership. Even changes in the federal income tax laws offer pleasure users and investors a variety of possible new tax breaks and deductions.

 

Ten Tips For Finding A Perfect Second Home
 
  • Define your lifestyle interests. It's well known that people who buy second homes are primarily looking at areas that have to do with their recreational interests. So ask yourself 'What is it that I like to do?' Some of it is subconscious. It might not be something they are aware of so they have to define what is the appropriate type of place where they'd like to be.
  • Determine the ideal travel distance. Ideal traveling time is a matter of personal preference and tolerance. If it's too far or too expensive to reach within a few hours, you likely won't use an owner-occupied second home enough to justify its cost. Don't sell yourself short by insisting if you buy it you'll use it. Before you buy, consider renting in the area for a season. See how often you actually manage to get to your vacation home.
  • Research locations. You may like golf, but can you really afford a home in a golf community ? Okay, you've defined your lifestyle but what about affordability, climate, population and all those other issues? Check with the local chamber of commerce, use the Internet, or ask me to find out more about a community. If you live in Michigan or New York, you can't do a drive-by to find out if the East Valley or North Scottsdale is more expensive.
  • Select the desired location. Within the destination you have to pick the community. Let's say it's Scottsdale Do you want a new planned development or do you want to be in closer to downtown Scottsdale ? Do you want a patio home or town home for less maintenance? If it's a single family home, do you want a back yard pool and/or BBQ ? ? If you are into golf communities, do you also want a golf home on the fairway ?
  • Make inquiries with locals. Go knock on neighbors doors to find out what it's like (that's what I do !). How many second home owners are there? Are they true home owners or renters? Too many renters and they might not be keeping the place up. You need community details often available only from the residents or contacts with Realtors who have done business in the community.
