From personalizing your living spaces to turning a profit when you sell, there are dozens of reasons why first-time home buyers can’t wait to find a home along the Crystal Coast in Carteret County, NC and make it their own. Though there are plenty of benefits of owning a home, here are the six benefits that stand out from the rest.
1. You Can Customize Your Space
Whether you want to invest in the latest high-tech home features or paint your walls neon green, or add a room, owning a home along the Crystal Coast, whether permanent or vacation, gives you the freedom to do just about anything you want.
2. You Make the Rules
Unlike with a rental property, where a landlord can dictate what you can and can’t do while living there, living in your own home in one of Carteret County's many towns and neighborhoods such as Emerald Isle or Morehead City means you have the freedom to host parties, adopt a pet, plant a garden, you name it. As a homeowner, you are in total control!
3. You Can Take Advantage of Tax Breaks
Owning a home along the Crystal Coast is an investment. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways that you can reap financial rewards up front. The IRS allows homeowners to deduct mortgage interest, property taxes, and capital gains from their annual taxes.
4. You Can Better Invest in Your Community
Eager to make friends with your neighbors? Want to participate in the history of Beaufort or Morehead City? Can’t wait to get involved with community beautification projects such as the Emerald Isle or Pine Knoll Shores Garden Clubs? When you own a home, you can truly become an important part of the community. Run for town commissioner!
5. You Can Put Down Roots
Speaking of getting involved in your community, owning a home also allows you to settle down and establish roots in a home and neighborhood that you love. You might volunteer for the Carteret County PTA, or Bogue Banks Library or the Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Patrol.
6. You Can Earn Money Back When You Sell Your Home
The longer you live in your home, the more equity you build. This is true here at the Crystal Coast and especially true in the towns of Emerald Isle, Indian Beach, Pine Knoll Shores and Atlantic Beach on Bogue Banks. And if the homes in your neighborhood are appreciating in value, you can earn a significant amount of money back when you decide to sell your home!
