Second homes

Buying a Second Home in Idaho, Washington, and Beyond

Second homes are more popular than ever. Second homes account for nearly 40% of all homes sold nationwide over the past few years, and a significant percentage of homes in Kootenai, Bonner, Benewah, Shoshone, Boundary and Spokane counties.  Second Home buyers want second homes for many purposes – some are vacation or weekend homes by a lake, some are pure investment properties, and many are a combination where the buyer enjoys use of the second home and makes money through rental. 

Why buy a second home? Quite simply real estate is a good long-term investment. And depending on how you use your second home there are a number of tax implications that can really work in your favor. A GMAC Real Estate Northwest Real Estate Agent can help you understand Second Home opportunities in North Idaho and Eastern Washington, or help put you in touch with trusted Second Home specialists out of the area.  

Second Homes Research

An important thing to consider when buying a second home is how you plan to use it.  If your second home will be used only as a vacation getaway, the needs you have - and the decisions you'll make - are very different than when buying a second home for investment purposes.  If you plan to use a second home both for vacationing and for rental income, there are further considerations, particularly with regard to tax status. 

The second home bought to eventually become your retirement home brings another set of variables into the buying equation. Just looking at these four possibilities – vacation, investment, retirement and mixed-use – makes it clear a second home isn’t a purchase to make blindly. It’s important to do some homework about the property, and to really get down and understand what purpose the second home has in your portfolio and lifestyle. Get in touch with a GMAC Real Estate Northwest agent who specializes in second homes and join the growing number of people who enjoy the benefits and pleasure of owning a second home.
