Vacation and Second Home Market Blog Content
May. 12, 2008
Categorized in: Blog Tips
Tagged with: blog content, christine karpinksi, homeaway, naree, national assn of real estate editors

Vacation home author and speaker Christine Karpinski offers content ideas at the National Assn. of Real Estate Editors Spring Journalism Conference.


Are you working in a vacation or second home market? HomeAway's Christine Karpinski shared thoughts about thriving markets and ideas for content with real estate editors at last week's Spring Journalism Conference in Dallas.

Buyers Seeks Vacation Homes in Their Comfort Zone

Karpeinksi points to healthy vacation home markets (in no particular order):

  • Outer Banks,NC
  • Steamboat Springs, CO
  • Lake Tahoe, CA
  • Park City, UT
  • Galveston, TX
  • The Pocono Mtns., PA
  • The Smokey Mtns, TN
  • Branson, MO
  • Virginia Beach, VA
  • Panama City Beach, FL


Consumers need to read about:

  • Homeowners insurance. In some areas of the country that have been hit by major storms, the cost of property insurance is cost prohibitive. Flood insurance is often not available for investment properties and buyers who expect to rent their vacation home must exercise caution and consider price and availability.
  • New financing guidelines. The credit climate is placing greater emphasis on fully documented loans, better credit scores, and higher down payments.
  • Non-homestead property tax issues. Analyze and present issues that an out-of-area buyer may consider before making a purchase decision.
  • Restrictions on short-term rentals. Many municipalities are placing limitations and bans on short-term rentals. Maui and Santa Fe are two recent examples finding investor owners at odds with local governing authorities on the matter of rental properties.
  • HOA restrictions. Ask questions about matters before local Homeowner Associations and take a pulse of the market.
  • Properties on government protected land
  • All aspects of owning and renting vacation homes!
