Don’t let these home expenses take you—and your budget—by surprise Buying a home can be a fantastic investment. However, some buyers—especially first-timers—don’t understand all the financial obligations related to purchasing and owning a home. Here are several expenses other than purchase price that you should know about. What will my loan cost? There are several types of loans, and the costs vary depending on the length of the loan and other terms. Your Texas Realtor and a mortgage professional can help you determine which loan works best for you and its associated costs. In addition to ongoing costs of the loan—which may be constant or could fluctuate, depending on the type of loan—the charges to close the loan can be many thousands of dollars. How much goes to the tax man? Public schools, water treatment plants, roads, hospitals, airports— these and many other public services are funded by property
taxes. And property taxes can add up to a significant expense. You and your Texas Realtor can research property taxes to see what the current owners pay and how your taxes might differ depending on which exemptions you qualify for. Taxes also vary by area—you may even find that homes relatively close to one another are subject to different taxing entities.
located in a homeowners association, you get the benefit of shared amenities. Your HOA may maintain a pool and clubhouse, security, landscaping, and other features. Some homeowners associations charge a minimal amount, while others can set you back several hundred dollars a month. That cost may be worth it to you for the amenities, but factor this expense into your housing budget.
What will I pay to protect my largest asset? Your mortgage lender will insist that you insure your home. Even if you buy your house with cash, you’ll still probably want some financial protection should anything damage your home and your belongings. Homeowners insurance costs vary based on factors such as construction materials, location of the home, deductible amount, types of coverage, and whether the property has an alarm system. What’s my tab for all these neighborhood amenities? When you buy a house
Can I afford to update the hall bath? Remodeling and repair bills can be hefty. If the house you buy needs a new roof, AC, or flooring—or you’d like to freshen up the 1970s décor—make sure to take these expenses into consideration. Before you purchase the property, you’ll want to get a professional inspection of the house. An inspector can alert you to conditions that are not readily apparent that may require a significant amount of money to remedy. What does it cost to keep cool? You may be able to request past bills from
the utility company or the current owners, but keep in mind that your usage could differ from theirs. You can also estimate ongoing maintenance costs, such as keeping the landscaping in good shape, painting the exterior and similar tasks. There’s one item many people overlook when determining the overall cost of a home: resale value. Consider variables that go into the resale value of a home: whether the neighborhood is on the rise or in decline; the quality of nearby schools; construction that could increase or decrease the desirability of living there; and other factors can give you a general feel for price appreciation of your property. Your Texas Realtor can help with these and other considerations to make sure you are getting a good deal in the long run.

Pocket listings have been a part of the real estate trade for decades, allowing lucky buyers to get a heads-up on potential listings before they are announced to the mass es. Instead of employing such word-of-mouth strate gies, coming-soon listings actually publicize the pend ing listing of new properties. This allows for broader market reach and stirs the excitement for buyers look ing for any edge they can get. From a seller’s perspec tive, coming-soon listings can help increase the amount of interest and offers from the buying pool. This can lead to expedited transactions and a more seamless selling experience.
Waco Tribune-Herald
Pocket Listings
ne of the biggest trends in real estate involves Realtors unveiling listings before they hit the market. This allows them to build buzz for properties and theoretically close quicker deals.
HOW IT WORKS The San Francisco Association of Realtors recently implemented a coming-soon status for its 4,000 members. Listing agents are able to enter listing details into digital soft ware under the “new status” up to three weeks before the listing automatically becomes active. Agents also can add documents, virtual tours, mar keting materials and showing details to the listing while it remains in coming-soon status. The results of such listings have been promising for Realtors, buyers and sellers alike. An MLSListings study found that coming-soon list ings in five Northern California counties increased from 15 percent in 2012 to 26 percent during the first quarter of 2013.

Popular home decor style - a blend of old and new mixing two distinctive styles.
(BPT) - It can be hard to keep up with the latest changes in decorating styles for the home. But the latest trend might actually make it easy for you to have a stylish house, especially if you’ve kept some family treasures around. Mixing traditional and contemporary decor within a home can give your spaces a warm, yet up-todate, feel. Keeping those traditional accents, furniture pieces or even wallpaper in your home and blending them with contemporary elements that have clean lines or bright colors can create a relaxed and attention-grabbing look. You can incorporate this style in any room of the home, and it allows you to display that mirror your grandma had in her bathroom, or to bring new life and energy to the aged marble countertops in your kitchen. Try these tips to help get the most out the old, while bringing a new look to your home: * Accent with white - One great way to give a room a contemporary balance is to accent with white. The trim, molding, doors and even decorative linens you use can bring new energy to a furniture item or heirloom piece you’ve had in your family for years. Blending the soft wood
tones of older furniture or dark wood floors with cool and fresh white accents will make the room vibrant. If it’s your kitchen that’s sporting the contemporary white color, add Danze faucets in stainless steel finishes that showcase a more traditional décor to balance the overall feel.

* Incorporate a couple focal pieces - If the shell of your room has a contemporary look, adding a few traditional elements and conversation pieces into the room can create a stunning look. An antique lamp, an old trunk that becomes a side table or a church pew in an entryway can all be attention-getting additions. On the flipside, if your home features traditional wooden floors that have aged beautifully, let the floor take center stage with simple, modern decorations. Mixing old and new is a decorating trend in today’s home decor, and there are benefits galore to exploring its flavor. You’ll have a beautiful home today, with flexibility to alter it in the years to come. If, in five years, you decide going contemporary is the path for you, simply switch out that bronze faucet with chrome or replace the antique accent pieces in the living room. Regardless of the way you mix traditional and contemporary elements, you can be assured that it won’t overwhelm your guests. Instead, they’ll enjoy experiencing your creativity and the breath of fresh air you brought to your home.
