The Perks of Buying over Renting

  The Perks of Buying over Renting Thinking about buying a home? While today’s  mortgage rates  might seem a bit intimidating, here are two solid reasons why, if you’re ready and able, it could still be a smart move to get  your own place . 1. Home Values Typically Go Up Over Time There’s been some confusion over the past year or so about which way  home prices  are headed. Make no mistake, nationally they’re still going up. In fact, over the long-term,  home prices  almost always go up ( see graph below ): Using  data  from the  Federal Reserve  (the Fed), you can see the overall trend is home prices have climbed steadily for the past 60 years. There was an exception during the 2008 housing crash when prices didn't follow the normal pattern, but generally, home values kept rising.

Welcome and thanks for following along as we ponder what is happening in real estate in and around Winston-Salem and the Triad areas of North Carolina. 
At Pam Boyle & Associates, we focus on our clients in a different way:  we take care of every detail; relentlessly advocate for you; and ensure that the entire process is as stree-free as possible. Our goal is to serve our real estate clients with a superior level of informed, professional and progressive real estate services.  We don't just take care of business -- we take care of you. 
As a native of Winston-Salem, NC, I love introducing folks to this great city that I call home. Offering a rare combination of big-city culture and small-town charm, folks who live here enjoy our mouthwatering southern cuisine, Old Salem, Tanglewood Park, Yadkin Valley Wine country and our gorgeous neighborhoods and "bedroom" communities.  

My job in representing my clients only begins with a handshake. Then there are the many activities that must be performed daily until we reach that happy ending when they buy or sell a home. But, in my mind, my job never ends. When a past client needs a painter, plumber or electrician -- or ideas for vacation -- several years after closing, they can give me a call. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
