GREY COUNTY HOUSING UPDATE

 New Year Resolutions! We all make them and...we all break them. 

Most of us resolve to improve our health habits and get fit, which is easier said than done. Old habits are hard to change but taking small steps in the right direction is usually the way to achieve our goals or at least make reasonable progress. Just as it is important to look after our physical well being, getting financially in shape also contributes to our mental health by lessening some stress. 

For most of us, our home is the biggest financial investment we’ll ever make and learning how to manage this asset is a good first step. Start by knowing the current market value of your property – most real estate agents would be more than happy to provide you with this information free of charge (you probably have seen those “Free Home Evaluation” ads). Once you have this value you can subtract any amount of debt, including your mortgage and other loans, this will provide you with an estimated net asset value. If you’re thinking of your retirement and/or scaling down in the size of your home, then you can use this information to estimate how this asset can contribute to your future plans. If you’re at the stage of life where you’re thinking of expanding and/ or need a bigger home, then you can make realistic decisions as to how much you can afford. 

All this may seem easy and obvious but getting a professional to help you by providing factual data is essential. Realtors® have many reliable sources at their disposal to be able to determine the value of properties based on recent market activity and trends. We at Grey County Real Estate Inc. strive to stay at the forefront of technology in order to have the latest data resources and service delivery know-how to our clients. We are always glad to be able to help you if you need any information that would assist you in planning your path to better health. We’re only a call away. Now the jogging, yoga, exercising and putting away the cookies…well that’s up to you. LOL!
