First Time Home Buyers-Two Great Deals in Fort Mill
Both Homes Qualify for the Full $8000 Tax Credit AND Lowe’s $1000 Gift Card-
I’m thinking of two homes just over the South Carolina border–where you will get a lot of house for your money, low SC taxes and Fort Mill Schools… and they illustrate an interesting tradeoff.
House #1 is a 2 story, with 2 car garage, it is a former model, has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, is right around 3600sf, it has a large kitchen and bonus room, large bedrooms, and the Asking price is $239,000. There are no community amenities.
House #2 is a 2 story, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home, with a 2 car garage, in the 3500 sf range. It has stone accents on the front, a dual sized fireplace inside, the morning room and kitchen have hardwood floors, and 9′ ceilings downstairs. A downstairs office and cul de sac location in a community with a Pool, a Pond and a Recreation area…Asking price? $239,755, a new home, ready at the end of April.
The picture above is neither one of these houses…but similar.
I didn’t want pictures (likability) to influence the “Better Value” question… So which do you think is the better value, today and say 5 years from now?
The answer is that they are both great values- I think a slight edge goes to House # 2– even though House #1 is a former model, and as such, is very cool indeed, but, livability and quality of life, translates into long term value, so, I would rank House#2 ahead of House #1 based on the value anchors of community features, amenities of a swimming pool, pond and recreation area.
Good amenities are value anchors: They will make most young families life better today, and 5 years from today, contributing to a homes underlying value.
