If you’re buying a condo in Port Aransas so you can rent it out and recoup your investment, you’re not alone. The vacation rental market here is thriving, and there are plenty of great reasons to join the thousands of other Port Aransas condo owners who are doing the same thing.

Why Rent Your Port Aransas Condo?

Your primary home isn’t necessarily an asset; it’s not making you money each month. If you rent out a condo that you own, though, you’re potentially turning a liability into an asset because it brings in cash you can use to pay down the mortgage, make improvements, or feather your nest for retirement.
It’s not the right strategy for everyone, but renting your condo could be a huge boost to what you’re already doing.

If You Buy a Condo in Port Aransas to Rent it Out…

For most people, it’s a good idea to hire a property manager or a vacation rental manager. Your property manager will help you find renters (or vacationers, if that’s what you’re looking for). The manager will also work on the contracts, keep track of finances, and take care of repairs that the condo needs.
However, you can — if you have the time and the inclination — handle all of this yourself.

In some cases, it really pays off to list your Port Aransas condo for sale during the winter months.
Why?
People who look for new homes during the winter, particularly in a great spot like North Padre Island or Port Aransas, may be a bit more serious about buying than those who come “kick the tires” during spring and summer.

Selling Your Port Aransas Condo During Winter

Sure, lots of homebuyers go into hibernation during the winter. Your condo may drum up less interest during December, January, February, and March than it would during warmer months… but the interest that it does generate may be from more qualified buyers.
It’s not necessarily the number of people who come through your condo that matters; it’s the number of qualified buyers who are ready to make a purchase that matters.
If you’re thinking about selling your condo, grab a free local market report. We’ll tell you about Port Aransas home values and North Padre Island home values so you know exactly what you’re getting into.
We’ll even be happy to perform a free comparative market analysis to show you how much you could get if you put your condo on the market today. Your CMA will include:

• Similar properties that have sold and closed within the past 6 months
• Similar properties that are on the market right now
• Similar properties that are in a “pending” status (they’ve sold, but they haven’t closed yet)
• Similar properties that have expired (they didn’t sell during their listing period)
• A detailed report on your condo and how much it’s worth based on today’s market

Let Us Help You Sell Your Port Aransas Condo

We can help you sell your Port Aransas condo quickly and at the right price. Call us at 361-563-7788 today to learn how we’ll market your condo and get it in front of all the right buyers — even during the winter.
