| "The average house owner in the Calumet region is paying a lot more for their home than the owners at Brookstone.", Petersen said. "Our units save you money and with their high quality of construction give our owners real value for their dollar." But you say renters don't have to pay anything for the upkeep of their buildings. That's true, unless you consider the exorbitant rental rates most Calumet region renters are paying according to Shorb. "A typical rental unit with two bedrooms and laundry facilities usually goes for 900 dollars and up.", Shorb said. "Our condominiums run around 600 dollars a month after a standard down payment, and our owners aren't just saving money, they're building valuable equity." Homeowners are also opening the doors to some pretty big tax breaks according to Shorb. And he ought to know. He's been in real estate for many years and has owned many condominiums and one house. "Once a person owns their home, there are a lot of deductions and tax breaks that they can use.", Shorb said. "Property tax and mortgage interest deductions, as well as deductions for union dues, organizational fees, home equity loan interest, etc." With so much savings potential at Brookstone, there has to be something that hasn't been saved. There is, the quality of Brookstone has not been compromised. Brookstone Estates features two bedroom, two bath condominiums starting at the economical price of 131,900 dollars. Units range from 1,260 to 1,320 square feet; and for a limited time, buyers get a free Whirlpool appliance package is available which is worth over $4,000. All this is available in sound proofed, brick buildings with elevator service. "I'll put my quality up against any similar building in the region no matter the price.", Petersen said. "Brookstone condominiums provide an economical lifestyle with excellent quality, a source of equity, and better amenities. In short, they are a sound investment with great potential for return on that investment." Brookstone Estates offers such a great value at such an economical price, that several units have been appraised at values higher than the purchase price, thereby giving the buyer instant additional equity. "I set out to make Brookstone the condominium complex of choice in the Calumet region by offering quality built units at a fair price to maximize the buyer's equity.", Petersen reflected. "I believe the appraisals indicate we have succeeded." In fact, Brookstone buyers constantly tell Petersen how he offers more storage space, quieter living areas and overall better condominiums than his competitors. Of course, when the quality of the building is sound, the appreciation of the property is sure to go up. That's what makes Brookstone condominiums an investment, not only a home. "An investment in Brookstone is a safe one as well.", Petersen said. "There really is something to owner mentality and our owners watch out for each other. Everyone wants the value of their property to go up, and since Brookstone's buildings are shared property, it means everyone watches out for each other. Now that's added security and it comes at no extra cost." People interested in viewing a Brookstone Estates condominium should call (219) 791-1940 and ask to speak with one of our sales associates.
