If you’re considering buying a vacation home in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch on Lake Nacimiento, you’re approaching the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market at a great time!  Low mortgage rates, great home prices and a wide variety of beautiful homes on the market provide you with an ideal foundation for buying a Lake Nacimiento home this fall.

It can be easy to want to jump right in and begin searching for the Lake Nacimiento home that has everything you’ve been hoping for in a vacation home.  Whether it’s a lakefront property, a home with lake views, or you prefer a tree lined lot with more privacy; you’re sure to find exactly what you’re looking for on Lake Nacimiento!

In working as a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent for over twenty years, I enjoy meeting new buyers as I sense their excitement for buying their dream home on this beautiful lake.  But, I always want to make sure that each buyer is fully prepared to do so!  Buying a second home comes with a lot of responsibilities and so I’ve gathered four tips to guide you.

1.  Decide if it’s the right time to buy- We know it’s a buyer’s market, but you’ll still want to look carefully at your purpose for buying and also determine your finances.  Is this home a long term property you’ll want to keep for years to come?  Is this solely going to be used as a rental property? Is this something you can afford right now?

2.  Know what to look for in a second home- Before buying, make sure you get a good feel for the area and even the talk with the locals.  Find out if Lake Nacimiento is a good fit for you!  (I’m pretty sure you’ll love it, but it’s always good to double check!) It’s also good to look at the comparable homes on Lake Nacimiento. I can show you if the Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home you have your eye on is comparable to other homes around the lake.

3.  Explore financing options- Buying a second home has the same type of financing and the typical 20% to 25% down or more is required.

4.  Learn the tax ins and outs- Savvy tax planning can make a difference in your return on the property. Tax implications for second homes can vary significantly based on your financial situation and whether or not you plan to rent out the property.   Generally, the interest on the mortgage of your second home is tax deductible, and rental properties are subject to additional tax breaks. Keep in mind that renting your home seasonally varies due to lake levels, economy and demand. We recommend that if you do plan on renting you consider rental income a bonus and if you have to rent to make the numbers work then you may reconsider the purchase. You do not want to get yourself in a bind.

These tips should help guide you as you consider buying a vacation home on Lake Nacimiento.  As always, I’m here to answer any questions you have about the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market and would enjoy the opportunity to meet with you and show you around the area!

Get started with buying your Lake Nacimiento vacation home today!

Selling your Lake Nacimiento home can be an emotional experience.  Whether you’ve lived in your home for awhile, or have enjoyed using it as a vacation getaway; making the decision to sell can bring about an array of emotions.  If your job or other extenuating circumstances are prompting you to sell, you may be concerned about the current buyers market.  You want to be able to have a return on investment for the time, energy and money you’ve put into your Heritage Ranch or Oak Shores home, but you’re also very aware that buyers seem to have the upper hand.

One of the hardest parts of selling your home will be determining the selling price.  Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent will be able to guide you by showing you comparable homes in Oak Shores and Heritage Ranch, as well as giving you insight into the current Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market statistics.  And, while they will be able to give you a price point that is fair to you, and coincides with the current market conditions; it’s important that you understand some of the key aspects of establishing your selling price.

1. Location- You can’t get away from this one. If your house is located in a desirable Lake Nacimiento area, such as a lakefront home or a home with a lakeview, you will be able to get a higher price than you can for the same house that’s further distance from the lake.

2. Condition- An Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home that has been better maintained and shows better will always sell for more than one that has had deferred maintenance and needs work.  Make sure to take care of any necessary repairs or updates before placing your home on the market.

3. Desirable Amenities- If a house has amenities that are ideal for a vacation home or permanent residence on Lake Nacimiento, it will bring a higher price. Your Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent will be able to give you a better idea of the type of amenities that the homes in your neighborhood offer.

4. Calculate the price per square foot- The average price per square foot for homes in your neighborhood shouldn’t be the sole determinant of the asking price for your home, but it can be a useful starting point.

As a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent, I know that selling your Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home can be difficult.  You’ve had great memories of your time on Lake Nacimiento and it can be hard to let it go.  However, you can have a smooth and efficient home selling experience amidst the change in life and the current buyers market.

If you have questions about selling your Lake Nacimiento home, please contact me!  I have years of experience on the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market and can ensure a stress free and quick sale.
