“Aging enhances wine, beef and homes.”

As you look for a home to purchase in your new location, you may be faced with choosing between new homes and resale homes. The advantages of new homes are obvious--the latest conveniences, state-of-the art construction, fresh paint and carpeting throughout. Resale homes, on the other hand, offer many desirable qualities that can't be constructed.

Charm may be a resale home's most attractive feature. It develops over the years as a home is refined and improved by its owners. Mature landscaping and trees add warmth and beauty throughout older areas. Established schools and neighborhood relationships create a strong sense of community. In addition, many older homes on the market today have been completely updated, offering the best of the old and the new.
