PAGE: 22, Wl DNESDAY, MAY' 6,1981, WIII [BN I F RI3RSS DOLLtAR SEnf Choose the right home to win inflation batile By Randal Adaxnowski,CA makes financial sense providing you choose the Despite record mortgage right borne. That means rates, home-buying still one whose value will con- tinue 10 keep ahead of the consumer price index, now running ai more tban 10 per cent. The secret is a home people perceive as desîr- able, now and in the future. As a rule, detacbed bouses are ai tbe top of the desirability ladder - meaning tbey have a proven record of appreciat- ing in value over the years. Semi-detacbed bouses come nexi, folîowed by townbouses and condo- miniums. Yet an exclusive town- bouse in a good area may be a better buy iban a detached bouse in a poorer area, Such features as brick construction, a garage and central air-conditioning also enhance a home's value. You are strongly advised to bring in a lawyer. He or she can give you advice on how to proceed. Whatever you do, don't sign anyîhing before vour lawyer says so. New and resale homes each have their advantages and drawbacks. If your bouse i5 in an unfinished subdivision (and by the way, check on the builder's reputation with the Better Business Bureau), ils price wilî likely rise more quickly tban an older bouse ai first and also won't need such major repairs as a new roof, furnace or plumbing for some years. But you'Il have to put up with the dirt and noise of construction and land- scaping, and cope with the inconvenience of driving farther 10 work or to an established shopping district. If you opi for a new home, try t0 pick one of the firsi in the 'subdivision. Not only wilI you choose from a larger seleciion, but later homes mav cosi more. Being "the firsi on the blockî can have anotber major advantage. If you have bought your home and arranged to take possession some months from now, you have given yourself a financial headstart at the stroke of a pen. Until you move in you aren t making mort'gage or tax payments but the value of the bouse is appreciating. Auid if you can, take possession early in the new year s0 that you have the advantage of an extra tax-free $1,000 -contribution to your Registered Home Ownersbip Savings Plan.
