Are You 1 of the 59 Million Planning to Buy This Year?

Are You 1 of the 59 Million Planning to Buy This Year? | Simplifying The Market

According to a survey conducted by Bankrate.com, one in four Americans are considering buying a home this year. If this statistic proves to be true, that means that 59 million people will be looking to enter the housing market in 2017.

The survey also revealed 3 key takeaways:

  1. Those most likely to buy are ‘Older Millennials’ (ages 27-36) or ‘Generation X’ (ages 37-52)
  2. Minorities, particularly African-Americans, were twice as likely to respond that they were considering purchasing a home this year than white respondents.
  3. Many potential buyers believe they need to put 20% down and need to have perfect credit to own and are unaware of programs that would allow them to buy now.

Holden Lewis, a mortgage analyst for Bankrate.com, pointed to one big reason why many Americans are starting to consider homeownership:

“Having kids and raising a family is a primary reason why Americans take the leap into homeownership—many consider it a key component of the American dream.”

Bottom Line

This quiet property includes 40 acres of fully fenced pinon-juniper land a number of miles northeast of Winona, AZ. Reached by a country road, here is comfortable off-grid living! The primary residence has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and includes two full-length porches overlooking the San Francisco Peaks and other nearby mountains on one side and the Little Colorado River Valley and Painted Desert on the other. Inside, an alcove can be customized as desired. An efficient wood-burning stove keeps the whole house comfortable on brisk, high-desert nights, while, if ever needed, a thermostatically-controlled, forced-air propane furnace provides backup heating. The kitchen and utility room include all appliances. Vinyl flooring in the kitchen, pantry, utility, and bathrooms gives way to carpet throughout the rest of the house. The split floor-plan provides privacy, while two of three of the bedrooms have walk-in closets for storage, including the master unit, whose bathroom includes a double vanity. Across the driveway, a 40'x50' Quonset hut can hold six vehicles with enough room for a workshop, firewood storage, etc. You'll have two underground water cisterns, one with a 7,500-gallon capacity for hauled water to be used in the house and another with 10,000-gallons of rain catchment pumped by the automatic watering system to irrigate the surrounding trees. A final, but perhaps most important, feature of the property is the robust solar electricity system. You'll enjoy glimpses of a wide variety of wildlife, and furthermore, cultural landmarks of the Sinagua people.
