HOW TO BUY A HOME IN A TIGHT MARKET W

e all know the equation: low inventory means higher prices. Also known as a tight market, this setting can be stressful for buyers, who are trying to snap up their dream home yet keep running into competition. Attempting to purchase a house in this type of market can make the already complex process of buying a home even more overwhelming. The following five tips can help buyers successfully get through the buying process in a tight inventory market:

DETERMINE & STICK TO A BUDGET.

Before beginning the

house hunting process, prospective homebuyers should receive loan preapproval from one or more lenders to verify how

much they can borrow. Then, after taking into account additional costs of ownership such as taxes, utilities and insurance, buyers should determine a final budget they can comfortably afford. When listings are scarce, bidding wars can drive up prices, so

buyers must be prepared to walk away if the asking price surpasses their budget.

IDENTIFY DESIRED NEIGHBORHOODS AND HOME WANTS VERSUS NEEDS. When housing inventory is tight, buyers may

need to compromise on what they believe they want from a

home. Certain wants, such as stainless steel appliances or hardwood floors, can be added later. However, if a buyer wants

34207.1.1.010.indd 1

to be in a specific school district or have a decent sized back-

yard, those cannot be addressed later and must be taken into account during the house hunting process.

BE READY TO MAKE A DECISION QUICKLY. In a seller’s mar-

ket, homes rarely stay on the market long, so when a house that is in their budget and checks off all of their needs come along,

buyers should not hesitate. Buyers should be ready to submit an

offer quickly, or they may risk missing out on the home altogether.

BID COMPETITIVELY AND LIMIT CONTINGENCIES.

It is

tempting to submit a low offer as a starting bid, but in a seller’s

market buyers need to put forward their highest offer from the very beginning or they are likely to lose out on the home. It is

also important to remember that in multiple bidding situations it is not always the highest offer that is most attractive to the seller

but the one with the fewest contingencies. Removing restrictions

related to the sale of a current home and being flexible with things like the move-in date can make a bid stand out to a seller.

WORK WITH A REALTOR ®. All real estate is local, so it is im-

portant to work with an agent who is a Realtor®, a member of the National Association of Realtors®, and who is familiar with the areas and neighborhoods the homebuyers are considering. They can give buyers the competitive advantage needed in a tight market.

The ABC’s of Flood Insurance BY B A R B A R A P RO N I N Many home buyers are surprised to learn that while most standard homeowner’s insurance policies may cover water damage caused by a burst pipe within the home, they may not cover damage caused by an overflowing river. Because only a few inches of flood water can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage, some lenders may require the purchase of flood insurance before closing – even if the property in question is not in a high-risk area. Lender requirements in this regard are communicated in their instructions to escrow when loan documents are issued. Who determines whether, or how much, flood insurance is required? What do agents and their clients need to know? The answers are as simple as ABC:

WHO MUST HAVE IT?

WHO SELLS IT AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

WHAT DOES IT COVER?

With assistance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and local flood control authorities, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) maintains flood insurance rate maps for communities nationwide. The maps are divided into flood zones denoting high, moderate or low risk of flooding. It makes sense that mortgage lenders require flood insurance for coastal homes or homes in other high-risk areas. But historically, says the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), about one in every four flood claims comes from moderate or low-risk areas, where federal law does not require insurance. Hence, many lenders may require flood insurance in all flood zones, regardless of risk, especially for federally regulated or insured (such as FHA) loans.

34207.1.1.018.indd 1

The NFIP, managed by FEMA, offers flood insurance to homeowners in participating communities, and provides small discounts to communities that take steps to mitigate flood risk. The actual policies are sold not by FEMA, but by private insurance companies. Since NFIP coverage tops out at $350,000 for one’s home and possessions (see C, below), ‘excess flood insurance’ may be purchased to cover claims above the NFIP limits. In many regions, state flood insurance plans offer perks such as a 15-day waiting period before coverage kicks in, as opposed to 30-days with NFIP plans. The cost is determined by such factors as the level of flood risk and the estimated cost to rebuild. While flood insurance premiums are government-regulated, homeowners can retain some control over their cost by varying the deductible amount.

Flood insurance generally covers direct losses caused by flood waters, but actual coverages will vary based on the specific facts of the incident and the provisions and exclusions in the applicable insurance policy. The maximum insurance amount allowed by law is $250,000 for the structure. (While people tend to associate floods with total loss, the average flood claim is about $30,000, according to NFIP.) Contents coverage for furnishings of up to $100,000 is optional. However, neither building nor contents flood insurance will most likely cover the loss of certain personal property (such as currency) or living expenses such as temporary housing while the home is being repaired.
