Your Guide to Buying the Perfect Palos Verdes Vacation Home
August 31, 2016 11:07 amPalos Verdes and the South Bay region are among the most attractive vacation spots in all of California. While many residents call Palos Verdes home year round, this area also hosts seasonal residents. Levine Homes has helped many clients interested in buying a vacation home find a perfect property. The Palos Verdes Peninsula has a lot to offer; this simple guide will help you find the getaway home that’s just right for you.
Consider Your Options
To start with, consider if your lifestyle is a good match for what Palos Verdes has to offer. These are just a few of the activities that South Bay residents enjoy:
- Hiking
- Biking
- Golfing
- Bird watching
- Equestrian pursuits
- Sailing
Country club memberships offer valuable social opportunities to residents and many locals are engaged in charity and philanthropy. If these are activities that you enjoy pursuing, then you will certainly be able to find properties perfectly suited to your interests.
Determine Your Goals
Are you looking for a home that you can begin to use right away? Are you hoping to use your new property as a seasonal getaway for part of the year? Will the property be used as an investment initially or later on? Identify what exactly you would like to accomplish as a result of buying a second home or vacation property. This will help you communicate effectively with your agent. You will spend more time examining properties that suit your needs as a result.
Explore Financing Options
Buying a seasonal home or investment property is a little different than buying a primary residence. Talk to your agent about the financial options that might be available and about what standards need to be met to qualify for these options.
