If you think that buying a second home is a luxury only the Donald Trumps of the world can enjoy, think again. Recent statistics reveal that second-home sales increased nearly 25% in just the two years between 2001 and 2003. The primary buyers are baby boomers reaching the peak of their income earning years and investors (sometimes olke and the same). There are three great reasons to buy a second home: as a vacation home, as a retirement destination, and as an investment. Thinking ahead to retirement, a home is an excellent asset that ranks up there with IRAs, mutual funds and CDs. Very few stocks or bonds offer the return that you'll enjoy on the investment toward your retirement home. You can enjoy a nice tax break by downsizing now, avoiding capital gains taxes on the sale, and using your equity to purchase your retire- ment home. Then there's the income when you're ready to retire and can sell your current primary residence! A second home is a great investment at our low interest rates. Many investors are taking money out of the sluggish stock market and mov- ing it into real estate, enjoying record appreciation. You don't have to be an investment wiz to maximize your dollars in a second home. You just need a little guidance from your local financial and real estate professionals! OUR READERS ARE YOUR BUYERS!
