Naples Florida Real Estate Information Series

Most people think of buying a house as a gigantic expense. While it's true that buying a home is expensive, there are several ways you can save a lot of money while buying a home. Here we’ll cover three of the top ways to reduce your spending when you're buying a new home. After reading this page, you may be able to save as much as 5%-15% on your home buying costs!

Tip #1 - Buy in the Summer Time

Here in Naples we have many seasonal residents that come during our cool winter months and leave during the hot humid summer. They represent a large portion of the buyers in our area. When they leave for the summer sales slow and values come down slightly.

Tip #2 - Buy a Home Near a Police Station to Save on Insurance

Insurance is a big expense. One great way to save on insurance is to buy a home that's near a police station. Because crime rates are so much lower, your insurance policy will be much cheaper as well. This tip alone could save you thousands of dollars over the years!

Tip #3 - Work with a Real Estate Agent

A good real estate agent has spent literally hundreds of hours studying how to get the best deal the possibly can for you. Statistics show that you'll save at least 6% on your final home purchase price by using a real estate agent.

Best of all, as the home buyer you don't have to actually pay the real estate agent's commissions.

If you apply these three tips, you're sure to save thousands of dollars on your next home purchase. Buy in the summer, near a police station if you can and work with an experienced real estate agent.
