Home Buying Tips :
That
means determining how much money you can raise for your down payment and how much
you can afford to pay on a monthly basis. Go to a lender to find out the size
of mortgage you qualify for and get pre-approved. Better yet, use a mortgage
broker to find you the best mortgage rate possible. When calculating the costs
of home ownership, remember to plan for homeowner's insurance, property taxes,
private mortgage insurance (if required), utilities, repairs, and maintenance.
If
it's not located in a neighborhood you like, your new house will never feel like
home no matter how nice it is. There are several factors that go into making a
"good" neighborhood for most people. It should be safe, close to
things that are important to you, and should offer the services you depend on,
such as healthcare and convenient shopping. Ambiance and curb appeal may be
particularly important to you. Whatever your criteria, once you have a better
idea of the areas you are interested in, find out as much as you can about each
area's demographics, crime rate, schools, traffic, etc. Check out the county
and state records for this information, or you can use Yahoo!'s
"Get Local" online service. You can even try the local Chambers of
Commerce, but bear in mind that they are in the business of attracting new
residents to their neighborhood.
Normally,
most of a property's value is not in the house, it's in the land. You would do
well to heed the old adage of buying the worst house on the best street, not
the best house on the worst street. If you buy a house that is overdeveloped
compared to neighboring houses, you may think you're getting a great deal when
you buy it, but you will probably have a hard time getting back what you paid
for it when it's time to sell.
Home Selling Tips :
If you
are preparing to make an EXIT from your home, allow an EXIT Realty Associate to
guide and advise you throughout the home selling process.
Do you
want to move in time for the kids to start their new schools in September? Do
you want to catch the busiest market in your area? What IS the busiest market
in your area? When will your new home be ready?
Your
goal is to price your home for fair market value. This is where the expertise
of a real estate agent is key. He or she will take
into consideration many factors, including market conditions, comparable homes
in your marketplace, your financial needs and then, in consultation with you,
determine the best price that will both address your objectives and present
your property well to the buying public.
