Time is your most valuable asset – yet many of us waste it. We put off big decisions, thinking we have more time to make them later. But in real estate, time matters.

Why wait to create memories? I’ve been in real estate for 24 years, and I often see people hesitate to buy a second home. They dream about it, but they wait – sometimes for years – thinking the timing has to be perfect. But if you’re waiting for the right time, you could miss out on building memories with your family. A second home isn’t just about owning property; it’s about creating moments. It’s about giving your kids or grandkids the chance to experience the same joys you had growing up.

The reality is, time moves quickly. Once you’ve put it off, it may be harder to make those memories. Don’t wait too long.

What happens when you wait too long? On the selling side, I’ve seen many people let go of their second homes because their kids have grown up and stopped visiting. As we age, our priorities shift, and the time we have left to enjoy certain things becomes clearer. Holding onto a property that no longer serves you can become a burden, especially when time is no longer on your side.

Whether you’re buying or selling, time is the key factor in your decision-making. Don’t let the opportunity to enjoy life and make memories pass you by. If a second home fits your goals, why wait? If you’re holding onto a property that no longer brings you joy, consider making a change. If you have any questions, feel free to call or text me at 603-293-7227.
