Buying and New Construction

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to my video blog.

My goal is to help you make the best real estate decisions. When you buy a home or purchase a new construction home, you want the best property for the best price. So, how do you avoid the pitfalls that so many buyers fall into?

The first thing you need to do is sit down with an expert. Together you can plan a buying strategy that fulfills all our needs. What is it that you most want in a home?

An expert can also help you stay within a budget. Often, buyers visit a model home and fall in love with the fully upgraded kitchen not knowing that it will add on an excessive cost.

When you buy a basic home, upgrade cost on average of 10-15 percent more. An expert can help you choose the right upgrades and stay within your budget.  We have a buyer’s advantage agreement where we fight for and represent you.

We believe in this so strongly that if you don’t like the home you purchased or for some reason want to sell it within the first year, we will sell it for free! We won’t collect any commission.

These are just a few tips on how to get the best deal with new construction. If you have any questions, please give me a call!

Is Now a Good Time to Buy?

Welcome to my video real estate blog!

I get asked all the time whether now is a good time to buy and sell. A lot of people are concerned about the rising prices and the rising interest rates.

Well, the truth is none of us can predict the future, but we can look at past trends. Money is cheaper than it has ever been! With interest rates at 4.3 percent, we are experiencing historical lows.

That means for every $100,000 you borrow, you will pay roughly $500 a month in a mortgage payment. That’s a $300,000 home for only $1,500 a month!

Buying is cheaper than renting now. Especially because many previous homeowners who did short sales aren’t able to get a loan, it’s causing rental prices to go up.

Take advantage of this market. It truly only comes around once in a generation. It is the perfect time to build equity and lock in the lowest rate possible.

If you have questions about what your home is worth, give me a call. I’d be more than happy to help!

Thanks for watching!
