I have always wanted to own a home amidst mountains, boasting graceful ponds and trees. Nowadays, I find that more and more families are moving to peaceful, secluded areas in an attempt to avoid the chaos and pollution filled cities and large towns. Due to the sub-prime crisis, the real estate market in the country and also across the globe has taken a hit. After a few months of bearish trend, the market now seems to be stabilizing and hence this is probably the best time to buy a new house, either for self occupation, second home, holiday home or plainly for the purpose of investment. I looked around for the best mountain home neighbourhood in the USA and was surprised to find quite a few mountain homes for sale.
Out of the popular mountain destinations, the ones I like the most are the Arizona white mountain real estate community which is in Northern Arizona and the Asheville and Black Mountain ones in North Carolina. I would shortlist one of these two, sometime next month. If you live in one of these mountain communities, I would appreciate it if you could share your opinion. This would certainly go a long way in helping me choose the best location to buy a mountain home.
