Summer Home Buying Tips


The Summer season is officially underway, at least, it is at the Lake of the Ozarks! Memorial Day has always been the summer kick-off around here, but the “official” day is not too far off either (June 21st). At Team Lasson, we believe that it is always a great time to buy a home at the Lake of the Ozarks. So, whether you vacationed with us this past Memorial Day weekend and realized that you never wanted to leave, or you have been considering buying a vacation home at the Lake of the Ozarks for a while - here are a few buying tips for you!



Choose Your Location

We have already established that you would like to buy a home at the Lake of the Ozarks, but have you considered which area of the Lake? There are many different regions around the Lake, and they all have different advantages. If you are not sure where to choose, you can check out a blog we did last month that covers the different areas and what they have to offer - 5 Locations for Your Vacation Home at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Visit Your Vacation Location First

The Lake of the Ozarks is filled with beautiful homes and attractions and now is a great time to visit! Buying a vacation home at the Lake is obviously a big decision, if you have not spent a lot of time here, summer is the perfect opportunity. Pick a vacation home on the side of town that you have been thinking about. You will get a great idea of what the traffic is like, which restaurants and stores you will frequent, and even what the nightlife is like!

Make Your Budget

There are many different strategies for buying a vacation home, and Team Lasson is here to help you find the best one for you. Start by filling out an application on our website www.yourlakeloan.com to get the ball rolling. Having a pre-approval is the first step to buying a home, but it is also a great step to help you figure out what works best for your budget.

Have An After Purchase Plan

Do you want to rent out your vacation home while you are not in it? Will you hire someone to come maintain and clean it through the off-season? There are plenty of decisions to consider while shopping for your vacation home, but thankfully there are numerous resources in our area to assist you with these items. The Lake area is very familiar with helping people manage their vacation rentals, while it is something to consider, it is not a definitive roadblock.



Time to Get Started!

It is always a great time to buy a vacation home, so if you have been considering it for a while, or only a few weeks - Team Lasson is ready to assist.
