Seven Selling Mistakes You Don't Want To Make
A high listing price will cause prospective buyers to lose interest
before seeing your property. Make your home look as pleasant as
possible. Point out any subtle amenities and be receptive to
questions...
Make Money
In Real Estate Investing
While investing in real estate is relatively complex, it is often worth
the extra work... Lower your taxes... Have a positive cash flow...
Equity is the difference between the actual worth of the property and
the balanced owed on the mortgage...
Moving Tips
Use the right boxes, and pack them carefully... Teach your children your
new address... fill two open me first containers... keep pets away from
all activity... pack your old phone book... work hand in hand with your
mover...
Real Estate
Financing
Most property buyers do not have enough cash available to buy a home, so
they need to obtain a mortgage to finance the purchase. Since you will
probably make your purchase contingent upon obtaining a mortgage, the
seller has the right to be informed of your financing plans in order to
evaluate them.
Misleading Real Estate Headlines
Sensational headlines sell newspapers. Who wants to read about a real
estate market that's not as robust as it was a year ago--one in which home
prices aren't going up as fast as they were this time last year? Ho-hum
news doesn't do much for newspaper sales.
Benefits of Owning A Home
Your rate of return when buying a home is higher than most any other
investment you could make.
If you are moving to a home for the first time, you are going to be very
pleased with all the new space you have available. You may have to even
buy more "stuff."
Mortgage
Rates
Freddie Mac has people who contact 125 lenders or so, get their rate
quotes on different real estate mortgage programs, specifically the 30
and 15 year fixed, 5/1 hybrid and 1-year ARM, then publish those
averages for all to see.
Questions
About Property Taxes
Property taxes are a major expense when owning real estate, one which
often totals thousands of dollars per year. But property taxes are not
the same for like properties or for every owner.
Home
Improvement Tips
Property taxes are a major expense when owning real estate, one which
often totals thousands of dollars per year. But property taxes are not
the same for like properties or for every owner.
Vacation
Homes Hit Record High
One-third of the homes sold in 2004 were vacation, second homes or
investments sold to non-occupying owners. In 2005, the numbers were even
more startling. Just when it seemed there couldn't be a bigger market
for vacation homes, the National Association of Realtors® announces a
record year for the sale of second homes.
Coping With Real Estate Market Change
The housing market isn't likely to implode in a mushroom cloud, but
words like "normal," "stable" and "soft" are more likely to produce
complacent acquiescence when it's time for a more proactive approach to
changes in the market.
Make Money
With Real Estate
The market has cooled in various cities across the country and fair
weather investors are starting to worry about how they'll be able to make
money now that their houses aren't escalating at astronomical rates.
Successful Real Estate Investments
For years we have been hearing the real estate mantra of "location,
location, location," but is that really what drives the success of an
investment?
Six Signs
That Your Ready To Buy
Figuring out whether you're ready to buy a house -- whether you're a
renter or are aiming to move up or size down -- can be a daunting task.
But there are signs that will indicate whether you're ready to take the
buying plunge.
Title
Insurance
Technically, title insurance policies always pays off, because they
come with a service that guarantees the title to the home you buy is truly
free and clear.
Coping With
Changing Market Values
When it comes to pricing your house when you're ready to sell it, keep
in mind you must sell in the market you're in today.
