Not sure if this belongs here or under Investment Stratagies, but anyway... My SO and I would like to purchase a second home for cold wx use down in the Savannah GA area. We currently live on Cape Cod and the winters here are blah! Anyway, my primairy home is paid off, as is a piece of land next to us we purchased back in 1992. The lot is worth around $350,000, so after taxes (our basis would be $55,000) I figure we might clear around $250,000. We're gonna retire around the winter of 2007, but I'm fearful of two things; rising house costs down south and what I believe to be a real estate bubble where I live now. We'd like to buy a home in the $300,000 to $400,000 range, using as downpayment whatever we cleared from the sale of the lot. Just looking for some knowledgable opinion and thoughts from the group.
Thanks,
