Consumer Guide Update: Buying a Historic Property
As recently previewed, NAR is pleased to share the latest consumer guide on Buying a Historic Property. From lasting craftsmanship to period-specific charm, historic homes offer one-of-a-kind appeal but often come with unique considerations. This guide outlines how a home may qualify as historic, renovation restrictions, inspection tips, available financial incentives, and more.
As a reminder, all guides in this series are available for download—in both English and Spanish—on facts.realtor. Please allow a few days for the Spanish version of the latest resource to be translated and uploaded. For ease of reference, below is a list of the most recent guides:
- NEW: Buying a Historic Property
- Making Your Home More Energy Efficient
- Real Estate Auctions
- Buyer’s vs. Seller’s Markets
- Estate Planning
- Mortgage Interest Tax Deduction
Thank you for continuing to engage with the “Consumer Guide” series and for sharing the resources with prospective clients so that they have the information they need to find success in their homebuying or selling journey. Please remember that these guides are for informational purposes only and are not meant to enact or change any existing NAR policy.
Going forward, NAR will publish consumer guides on a bi-weekly cadence, so please look out for the next consumer guide in two weeks, which will cover new SALT deductibility provisions coming out of newly signed tax legislation.
