Everyone has given up. After all, at the peak of the bubble five years ago, Time had a different take. "Home Sweet Home," declared its cover then, as it celebrated the boom and asked: "Will your house make you rich?" But it's not enough just to be contrarian. So here are 10 reasons why it's good to buy a home....

WHY WE BOUGHT TWICE IN BELLA VISTA!

News_AlbaneseFamily.jpg
In April of 2004 my family and I moved from a beautiful Collegeville town home into a brand new home in Bella Vista. Of course we didn’t take the leap without a great deal of thought and research. We knew that if we were willing to move just a little further west we could certainly get more “bang for our buck.” Bella Vista was just one of many new developments we looked at. By comparison we found Bella Vista to be the most aesthetically pleasing with so many different models to choose from. We couldn’t justify paying more for a home by another builder when even they couldn’t convince us of the differences to justify the increased price. Conversely we were not at all willing to sacrifice the quality of a soundly constructed home in a desirable setting to save a few dollars. Bella Vista was exactly what we were looking for…but we could only have come to this conclusion after shopping other builders and communities.
