5 Reasons You Should Buy a Home in the Desert

Unless you are constrained by your job or family commitments, you potentially have all of the freedom in the world to choose where you want to live. Many people choose big cities or suburban sprawls, but more recently, we’ve seen an influx of homebuyers wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of a buy live and kick back with a home in an area that offers much more in the way of space and peace and quiet – the desert.

Here are our top 5 reasons why you should be considering buying a home in the desert this year.

1 - Low property prices

One of the main financial benefits of choosing to buy a home in the desert is the opportunity to capitalize on low property prices. When you opt for a desert home, space is in abundance, and you can get a lot more land for your money. This means that you may not need as much of a downpayment on a property, your overall mortgage will be lower and this could directly affect your monthly repayments. You could even find that you can pay your mortgage off sooner!

2 - Space, space and more space

As we know, one of the biggest reasons many people choose to buy a home in the desert is to get as much space as possible. This is great if you have a big family, want to keep livestock or have other plans that require you to have as many acres as possible. It also means that you aren’t too close to any neighbors so you can make as much noise as you like without worrying about disturbing other people!

3 – Plenty of sun

Unsurprisingly, there is plenty of sun in the desert. As well we being able to benefit from consistently excellent weather and a year-round tan, you’ll also find that you’ll be able to generate a lot of your own power if you choose to install solar panels on your property. You may even be able to generate enough to sell some back to the grid, which could see you making an income from your home! And forget about needing a drier – the sun will see your laundry just in just a few hours outside!

4 – Low humidity

In the desert, even high temperatures can feel comfortable thanks to the low levels of humidity in this environment. When we are in humid areas, our sweat can’t evaporate to cool us down, meaning that we remain hot, sticky and uncomfortable. However, low humidity in the desert enables us to cool down quickly and stay comfortable, even when the mercury is high.

5 – Say goodbye to mold

Mold is a common problem in many city and suburban homes, but in the desert, mold and mildew are a thing of the past. Again, this is down to a lack of humidity. Mold needs water to live and grow, meaning desert homes are much likely to be affected. Mold may be costly and difficult to remove, as well as causing health problems for many people living in moldy environments but choosing a desert home helps to counteract this risk.
