HELPFUL BUYING TIPS
BUYING VS. RENTING
Have you noticed how high rental rates have been growing in our market? It may be the right time to considering purchasing a home instead of renting. With a booming housing market and a strong economic atmosphere, rental rates have been increasing at an alarming speed. This makes purchasing a home more sensible than renting in our current market conditions. With low mortgage rates, monthly payments on your own home instead of a rental can be considerably cheaper. Home ownership also comes with the bonus of equity, personal space you can decorate and renovate without limitations, no hindrance on having pets, and the potential to net more money from your home when you choose to sell in a strong market. While interest rates are at an all time low, today's market conditions are the perfect time to consider purchasing. If you wait too long, the increasing interest rates can make a difference on your monthly payment by 100's or 1,000's.
FINDING THE PERFECT
REAL ESTATE AGENT
Hiring the right agent is a vital part of the home buying journey. Let's break down how a buyer's agent can help you along the process.
Works & negotiates for YOU, not the seller' s best interests.
Has access to available properties not syndicated to sites like Zillow and Trulia.
Can schedule, on your behalf, to tour properties on days and times that work for you.
Able to navigate legal contracts to ensure you're being taken care of, not taken advantage of, when purchasing a home.
Buyer's agents don 't collect commission from you, that' s already negotiated with the seller's agent and seller. No out of pocket costs to hire a professional.
A great agent stays aware of local and federal laws, that are ever changing, in pertinence to home buying.
Your agent will help you negotiate the best price and best terms so you aren't overpaying for a home.
