Taunton Multi-Family Homes

Taunton is a beautiful city that is situated on the Taunton River, and it is actually one of the largest communities in Massachusetts. As one of the oldest cities in the United States, there are quite a few colonial homes from the 19th century. This is a great location for professionals to call home because this city is the central hub of Southeastern Massachusetts, especially when it comes to highways. The city is merely 38 miles from Boston, but the highway systems that pass through the town make it easy and convenient to reach a number of cities and towns along the coast.

Purchasing a Multi-Family Home

This is an area with a lot of apartments and duplexes on the market, so there are plenty of options available for anyone who is looking for a home with multiple family units. In general, the median price for homes in the area is about $284,000. This is far less than the average price per square foot in both Providence, Rhode Island, and Boston, Massachusetts. That being said, the average price for homes in the area has increased by nine percent in the past year, which is an incredible profit. In addition, it is predicted that the value will increase by at least another four percent this year, which means now is the time to purchase property in this city.

There are several options for an owner to choose from when purchasing a home with rental options. Duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes are a great option to consider if one of the units is going to be occupied by the owner. This means that the other units can be rented out to help cover the cost of maintaining the home and the mortgage. It also ensures that someone is on the property to help deal with tenant concerns and emergency issues with the plumbing. Apartments, condos, and townhouses are other options that can be considered.

Selling a Multi-Family Home

Currently, it is a sellers' market in Taunton, which means that because of the growth in the area, the demand for homes has increased. This is beneficial for anyone trying to sell a home because it makes it easy to profit from the original investment. Though, there are still going to be a few things that need to be done to ensure that the property is appealing to potential buyers.

• Clean Up – it is important to show the property in good condition, which means that it needs to be free of clutter, and this includes the images of the home that are shown in the listing. If there is a lot of rubbish, potential owners may wonder what the owner is trying to hide.
• Make Repairs – Do the walls in the units need to be painted, is the baseboard damaged, do the kitchen cabinets sag? Any repairs that need to be done must be taken care of before listing the home.
• Consider Upgrades – If there is money in the budget to add things like stainless steel appliances, and new carpeting to the home before it is listed, the new features will be noticed by potential buyers and increase the value of the home.

If you are unsure of how to list your property, call Boston City Properties today so that we can help you get the property on the market quickly.
