The Variety Of Acreage For Sale Kelowna

By Catalina Nielsen


One of the best ways to find acreage for sale Kelowna is to search the multiple listing service, commonly referred to as the MLS. This list is available on line and can be accessed twenty four hours per day. Just about every Realtor has their listings on the MLS. They can display photographs of the property and add all the important information including size of lot and price.

Those who are trying to sell a property should also use the MLS. This is the best way to get the maximum exposure for their land and bring in a buyer fast. They should ensure that their agent gives it a great write up that emphasizes all the best features. These features include location, views, water access and accessibility to roads.

Looking for the right piece of property can take a long time. Working with a good local Realtor is the best way to find the ideal acreage. Real estate offices have plenty of personnel to help their clients. They can not only check the MLS listings daily, but also network with other agents to find out about all the latest land offerings to hit the market. Despite the recent down turn in real estate, a great deal never lasts long.

Buyers should spent time getting prepared before they ever go out looking at properties. This means having a mortgage in place and preferably a down payment. Many deals today require a minimum of ten percent down payment, others may even ask for twenty percent. Buyers should also have a budget in mind and know how much they are comfortable spending.

Although buying a beautiful piece of land is many peoples dream, they must also be ready to deal with a lot of extra work. Some lots do not have road access. It can add many thousands of dollars to the budget to build a road. Additional features include power poles and electricity service. These must all be done at the owners expense. The land will also have to undergo testing to see if it is capable of supporting a residential septic system. This will depend on the type of rock and soil and how quickly it will drain.

In some cases it is easier to purchase a lot nearer to town and all the amenities. It is still possible to find lots of five to ten acres that offer all the benefits of the bigger lots, but are still within a short drive of town. Families with young children will usually want to be near to the schools and recreational facilities.

Some people prefer to search independently for acreage. There are many sites that cater to for sale by owner lots. These can often be the place to find a bargain, as many sellers are trying to avoid paying Realtor commissions and will let their property go at a cheaper rate.

There are some wonderful parcels of acreage for sale Kelowna that are spectacular. They have amazing views and lake frontage. Building a home on the shores of a pristine lake offers excellent swimming, boating and unlimited summer fun.
