Things to Consider When Buying a Home
Buying a home can be a daunting task, but our efficient and experienced agents can provide you with a wealth of buying tips. Some of these tips include:
• Buy during the right time – Summer is a busy time for the real estate market. Families buy homes, and often, they prefer to buy between May and early August so they don’t have to move during the school year. This causes real estate prices to rise during the summer months. Traditionally, buyers have had better luck finding deals between November and February.
• Don’t attempt to lowball sellers – As a buyer, you certainly want to get the most for your money, but offering an extremely low price for a home can be insulting to the owner and ineffective. Work with an agent to come up with the right offer and negotiate.
• Do your homework – Always research the neighborhood, history of the home, and comparable home values before presenting an offer.
• Know when to ask for repairs and upgrades – Sellers are usually not willing to make minor, low-cost cosmetic repairs, but they may be willing to make major, necessary repairs to a property to entice buyers.
By keeping the tips listed above, you and your agent can find your dream home and get the best deal possible.
