Buying Vail Real Estate With Cash

Gil Fancher, Vail real estate

Buying Vail real estate with cash has been come more commonplace since the recession, allowing investors the opportunity to swoop in and get even better bargains buying Vail properties with cash as opposed to credit. Of course not everyone has the choice to make, but if you had enough cash lying around to buy a home without securing a loan would you?

Buying a Vail home with cash has certain advantages, the least of which is a quick transaction. Sellers are drawn to cash buyers because there is no loan contingency in the contract. Many deals fall apart at the last minute these days due to the inability of buyers to secure a home loan, so a cash deal is really seen as a Golden Goose for sellers. Sellers will often accept a lower offer for a cash deal. Another bonus of buying with cash is the overall savings over time. No interest paid can add up to a great deal of savings.

Of course, as with anything, there are disadvantages to buying a home with cash. The most notable difference between buying a home with cash versus buying a home with a mortgage is that when you pay with cash there is no mortgage interest write-off come tax time. Buying a home with cash also may deplete your bank account.

If you are debating buying Vail real estate with cash versus securing a mortgage to buy a home then you are in a much better position than many people. Weigh the pros and cons of the decision and remember that there is the option to finance your home after its purchase.

Gil Fancher for all your Vail real estate needs

The bidding is on for two fabulous pieces of Vail Luxury real estate located on Beaver Dam Road. Opening bids for these two Vail homes start at $1,100 per square foot, offering exceptional value in one of Vail’s most desirable neighborhoods.

One local Vail REALTOR® is quoted as saying: “The area around Forest Road and Beaver Dam Road is so sought-after that it’s not unusual for homes to sell into the $1,900 range per square foot. The fact that 184 and 194 Beaver Dam Road have starting bids around only $1,100 per square foot makes this very enticing, especially considering they are new-construction. Most of the surrounding homes are older – large and luxurious, but old. These properties offer the low maintenance and amenities of a new home while still in walking distance to shopping and skiing.”

Contact me, Gil Fancher, today. My office is within walking distance of these Vail properties and I would be happy to preview the homes with you and help you get to know the ins and outs of our local market. Deals like these do not come around every day, especially for Vail luxury real estate.
