Thinking about leaving Gulf Shores for Foley? 🌴🏠
That sounds backwards to some people until you actually run the numbers.
We recently helped buyers sell their Gulf Shores home for $340,000 and move into a brand-new Gold Fortified home in GlenLakes in Foley for $359,000.
And here is where it gets interesting.
They were able to use their equity to:
✅ Buy a brand-new 4-bedroom home�
✅ Pay off their vehicle�
✅ Pay off their RV�
✅ Lower their insurance�
✅ Move closer to work�
✅ Put money toward a fence, patio extension and garage improvements�
✅ Get their total house payment at the time of closing to just under $1,100 per month
The house is approximately 1,815 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, an open kitchen and living area, screened patio and access to the GlenLakes golf community.
Builder incentives and interest rates change, so those exact numbers aren't something every buyer can duplicate today. But the bigger lesson absolutely matters.
Sometimes moving 10 or 15 miles can completely change your financial picture.
If you're thinking about moving to Foley, Gulf Shores, Orange Beach or anywhere in Baldwin County Alabama, reach out and we can help you compare the numbers before you make the move. 🌴
Would you rather live closer to the beach, or move a little inland if it meant getting more house and lowering your monthly expenses?
