INFO

What Are Your Homebuying Goals?

With the dramatic rise and fall of housing prices over the last decade, consumers have new respect for homes as investments. But the flip side, is that your investment is still a home, one you’re likely to occupy for several years or more.

Ownership According to the annual Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, compiled by the National Association of REALTORS®, the primary reason buyers cite for purchasing a home is simply the desire to own, followed closely by the desire for more space, and a change in the family situation.

For most people, buying a home is more about giving household members more comfortable living arrangements and putting them closer to jobs, favorite activities, other family and friends. What are your goals for buying a home? You might want a better home and neighborhood. You might want a different kind of living experience, such as moving from an apartment to a single-family home with a private garage and yard. Your family may be growing, so you have to think about school districts and proximity to parks and other recreation.

If you’re not certain, you might think about what would change about your situation if you became a homeowner. You’ll definitely be more established. If you’re like most homebuyers, you expect to stay in your new home about 10 years.

Equity You’ll also build equity for yourself, instead of for someone else. Every payment you make, plus the rules of inflation will eventually allow you to recoup most if not all of your investment, or make a profit when you sell. Affordability may also be an important factor for you. The combination of low interest rates and low prices allows you to buy more home for the money. Rents are rising, making ownership more affordable than renting in many areas, especially when you factor in tax incentives such as mortgage interest deductions and property taxes allowable as deductions against your income.

When you buy, make your goals long-term. Choose the home you think will serve your household’s needs the best for the longest period of time, as it’s been proven that the longer you own a home, the more equity you’ll build. Today’s market conditions and affordability, make it more likely that you will reach your homebuying goals, no matter what they are.

INFO

The Homebuying Process Follow These Steps Get prequalified - Your lender will look at your income, credit scores, revolving debts, obligations such as child support as well as the type of loan you choose. Other factors that impact how much home you can buy is the down payment; smaller down payments mean higher monthly payments. Last, the interest rate and terms (30-year, fixed or adjustable rate) will determine what you can afford in monthly payments.

Make your wish list - Decide where you want to live and how many bedrooms and baths you’ll need. Consider lifestyle condominiums offer shared amenities, with little responsibility. Single-family homes offer more space and privacy, but much more exterior and yard maintenance.

Hire a real estate professional - Your real estate professional should be expert in the area where you want to live and familiar with the type of home you want to buy. Your agent has house-by-house experience in your neighborhood and can offer the best advice on homes in your range.

Select your home - No home is perfect, so don’t let minor flaws influence you. Think long-term. Which home best suits the activities and needs of your household now and in the years ahead? Don’t buy more than you need or can comfortably afford.

Make an offer - Your offer depends on the current market. If a home has been on the market a long time, you can ask the seller for a price reduction, but if it’s new on the market, the seller is unlikely to accept a low offer. Ask your real estate professional for advice.

Get an inspection - A home inspection is a professional third-party opinion of the home’s condition. The inspector will point out the age of systems, and large and small repairs that are needed, so you’ll know what you’re facing as the next owner.

Get an appraisal - The bank appraisal determines market value. If the home doesn’t appraise for the purchase price, the bank will refuse to make the loan unless you renegotiate with the seller. If it appraises, the lender will move toward closing.

Go to closing - Once final negotiations are complete, the parties to the transaction meet at the escrow office. This could be a title company, real estate attorney, or whatever is customary in your area. All paperwork is signed by both parties.

The lender pays the seller, minus any liens against the home such as the seller’s mortgage. Once all the disbursements have been made, you get the keys to your new home, according to your agreement. Congratulations! You’re ready to move into your new home

INFO

Making an Offer Before you submit an offer, have your agent pull up the most recent sold comparables (CMA) within a reasonable radius of the home, so you can compare the home fairly in terms of location, size, features, and amenities. Next, ask your agent about market conditions, so you can choose a strategy.

Strategy In a buyer’s market, discounts are common because there are fewer buyers, more properties for sale, and home prices are soft or falling. In a seller’s market, homes sell quickly for full price or higher because there are plenty of buyers and few homes for sale. Whether you are in a buyer’s market or a seller’s market, your goal is to buy the home at a fair price. If you were the seller, what is the lowest possible price you’d accept?

Risk Low-balling the seller is risky. If the seller feels insulted by your offer, you’ve lost the opportunity to negotiate. On the other hand, some sellers are simply unrealistic about their home’s value. Maybe your offer will be their wake-up call. If the seller’s home is offered at a reasonable price, pay asking price or close to it. A home priced to sell will sell quickly.

Is there a way to sweeten your offer with a quick closing or an all-cash sale? To show the seller you’re serious, include a copy of your lender’s pre-approval letter, along with a cover letter summarizing your strengths as a buyer in terms of creditworthiness, flexibility in closing, and why you love this home. Include a copy of your comparables to show why you feel your offer is a fair price for the property. If your offer is conditional, such as your need to sell another home before closing on the seller’s, you’ll have to find a way to sweeten the deal, such as a full-price offer. Few sellers would accept a discount and a contingency at the same time.

Reward Your real estate professional will help you draft the offer with a price, estimated closing date, and terms, including earnest money (a guarantee that you’ll perform as a buyer in good faith), final approval by your lender, and your right to have an inspection. Once your offer is negotiated and accepted, your earnest money will be sent to the escrow agent's office. Now the inspections occur, and this is where the contract negotiations can break down. During the inspection process, the inspector will tell you about the condition of appliances, heat and cooling systems, roofs, electrical and plumbing systems, etc, and if your future home is up to current city codes. You should only renegotiate a repair when it wasn’t obvious before, or when a system is unsafe or not functioning. Once the seller has agreed, your offer is now a binding contract, and you’ll proceed to closing.
