Buying a Home in Corolla, North Carolina
When looking to buy a home in Corolla or the 4wd beaches, there are several items to consider. Initially you need to determine your budget. Determining your budget allows you to not waste time on homes, that may not be in your price range. If you prefer to use someone local, we have several local lenders that will be happy to give you interest rates, percentage for down payments, monthly payments and discuss your options of having a second home versus a rental home loan.
Once you determined your budget, you need to decide how you will want to use the home. Is this purchase strictly an investment or will you be taking a few weeks a year to vacation and enjoy the beauty of Corolla? Will this be a second home that you can escape to? Often we find most people are looking to find a happy medium, renting the home out during some of the season, to defray some home ownership costs but still keeping the schedule open and flexible.
You want to think about location. Most people have a favorite community or part of Corolla, and will only want to search for property within that area. There is a big difference between Corolla soundside homes, those west of Highway12 and oceanside homes. The rental income will usually be higher the closer you are to the ocean. (Rentals often tend to book from east to west.) Our team can show you the differences in homes and neighborhoods for these two sections of Corolla.
For any property that is for sale, we will walk through the steps of obtaining insurance costs, property taxes, utility costs, and any other relevant information, for each individual property so that you will know exactly what expenses you can project. Our team will also show you net income from rentals versus the “advertised gross rents” that you will see posted on listings.
Finally, our team will go over the advantages of the inspection process from home and pest inspections to elevator or septic inspections which are becoming more important. Our team will ensure all these steps will be taken. Corolla homes are becoming very attainable with the decline in prices and the continued low interest rates.
Once you decide what type of property you want, we can keep you posted on new listings as they come on the market and preview them for you.
