The newly published 2005 National Association of Realtors® Profile of Second-Home Buyers reveals that 23 percent of homes purchased in 2004 were for investment purposes, increasing 14.4 percent from the previous year. Mile High Capital Group, Ltd. (MHCG), a Denver, Colorado-based real estate developer, long ago recognized this trend of investors relying more and more on real estate, and the company has built a successful business on it. “It’s great to see the National Association of Realtors® study supports what we at Mile High Capital Group have been saying for years,” says Jeff Dietz, MHCG’s President. “Real estate is a great investment not only because of the safety and security, but also due to the steady population movement from retirees as well as general population growth which stimulates the need for more housing. Investors are getting smarter and realizing the strong yields that real estate can generate.” Many economists previously believed that the majority of second homes were vacation homes; the NAR® study reveals otherwise, showing that of the 43.8 million second homes in the country, 37.2 million are investment properties and only 6.6 million are vacation homes. “Real estate is an especially great investment for baby boomers who are hoping to retire soon, as an investment property can create passive income for retirees for years to come,” adds Dietz. NAR’s chief economist also suggests that second-home sales will remain historically strong over the next decade due to many baby boomers currently possessing strong financial-earning power.
