10 reasons why now is a great time to select a new home ready for quick move-in at Sweetwater
A new home is better than a used one. By choosing a brand-new home ready for quick move-in, you eliminate what many consider to be the number one reason for selecting a used home – that it already exists. As our earlier blog details, there are many reasons to prefer a brand-new home.
It might cost more to wait longer. Now is a great time to buy because mortgage interest rates are still near historic lows, but experts agree that a trend of rising rates has begun. See our infographic for an idea on how much it could cost to wait. For example, a one-point increase in the interest rate can cost as much as a car payment on a monthly basis. Over the life of a 30-year mortgage, it could add up to college tuition.
Enjoy our lifestyle right away. When you select a quick move-in home, you can start enjoying Sweetwater’s Hill Country lifestyle right away. It’s an especially great time to cool off at the Sweetwater Club, or discover a hidden waterfall or grotto along our miles of trails. In all, Sweetwater devotes more than 700 acres to parks, trails, recreation centers and natural open spaces.
