Heritage Lake is a lovely place to be all year long, but now that Spring is in the air and considering the latest news from the National Association of Realtors :  “President Charles McMillan, a broker with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Dallas-Fort Worth, said it’s ironic with the weak housing market that affordability conditions have improved dramatically. “Housing affordability is at a record high – the buying power of a typical family has risen significantly,” he said. “With the drop in interest rates, a median-income family can afford a home costing $20,000 more than a year ago for the same monthly mortgage payment. With the strong housing stimulus, we are hopeful inventory will get trimmed and which will help prices stabilize in many areas by the end of this year.”  NAR’s Housing Affordability Index rose 13.6 percentage points in January to 166.8, a new record high.2 The HAI, a broad index of affordability using consistent values and assumptions over time, shows that the relationship between home prices, mortgage interest rates and family income is the most favorable since tracking began in 1970.”

Lakefront Homes at Heritage Lake have historically been a great financial investment but over the past few days I’ve been thinking of how investing in a Heritage Lake home is worth way more than a safe place for part of your investment portfolio.  Having lived at Heritage Lake since 1987 I can tell you the memories on the lake are priceless.  Recently, I’ve seen many families on the lake who purchased their lakehome last summer.  The screams and laughs as the kids race by on tubes, the laughter in the evening as they enjoy a sunset cruise, the excitement as one of the kids brings in a nice fish-these are the things you cannot put a price tag on!  Now is a wonderful time to buy your Heritage Lake home.  Many of our listings are vacant or furnished, ready for you to move right in and enjoy all the warm days that are still ahead, not to mention the gorgeous autumn views that will be coming.  Then, you may enjoy some cozy winter weekends ice skating or ice fishing or just playing some board games by the fire.  By the time next Spring arrives, you’ll be among the first to have that boat in and ready for a season of summer fun!  Contact Darrel or Teresa Brouhard at Brouhard Realtors today and get started on a priceless investment in your family!
