Builders: Don’t forget Realtors brought you to the dance!



The housing recovery has picked up steam and new-home sales are returning to historical levels!

Sales of new single-family homes are up 28.9 percent from January 2012, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 437,000, according to a recent U.S. Census Bureau report. That’s the best January since 2008, and there’s plenty more room to run — new-home sales exceeded 1 million a year during the last boom. "It is safe to assume that new homes construction will continue to move forward, if not surge," said David Crowe, chief economist for the National Association of Home Builders.

It is also safe to assume that a growing number of homebuilders — but not most — will forget the Realtors who brought them to the dance. Studies by the National Association of Realtors say that 63 percent of all new homes sold to prospects were introduced to the homebuilders by Realtors.

According to Builder Homesite Inc., a consortium of 32 of the largest production homebuilder in the United States, 84 percent of all home shoppers contact a Realtor. Thus, many production homebuilders face an important business decision that affects their sales and relationships with the very Realtors they have worked so hard to nurture.

It appears that 2013 is the year that new homes have become a high-demand inventory choice, especially as resale inventory remains tight. So homebuilders, who have been profit-starved for years, must either accept the fact that it’s worth offering a consistent commission and co-broker policy to Realtors who introduce ready, willing and able prospects to new homes, or not.

If they are going to cut out real estate brokers, "a builder must assume that his product is so magnificent they no longer need access to the 90 percent of all buyers that typically engage Realtors during their search process," said Tim Wilcox, president of Irvine, Calif.-based Home Builder Media Group.

While history may repeat itself, this time there is no history to repeat. This is the first housing recovery in the history of the world that comes with a marketing booster rocket: the Internet.

The counterargument is that the builder can now attract more walk-ins and thus "save" on commissions paid to brokers. But a large proportion of "walk-in" buyers also have homes to sell and are already working with a Realtor — an issue homebuilders have no solution for. Homebuilders will also be the first to tell you that a large percentage of their walk-in traffic is not financially qualified, or is not actually in the market. In the old days, street signs drove a large portion of the traffic. Today, there is much less impulse traffic.

Homebuyers have seen the home, the floor plan, prices, features, an aerial of the location, on the Internet, long before they visit the community. "Tire kickers" tend not to want to get involved with a Realtor, and that’s a good thing. Realtors deal with this market every day. Homebuilders have had a long time to get to know Realtors and evaluate the impact they have on sales. Marketing commitments to the Realtor community are much deeper than any time in history. It is not a simple thing to dismantle Realtor marketing machines that are generating "first responder" prospects that are converting to buyers. Production builders are now using their "Internet advisers" to set appointments for Realtor prospects — an unheard-of concept before the Internet. They focus on the prospect, not the Realtor.

Homebuilders are accepting the fact that Realtors control the homebuyers, and are making it easier and faster for Realtors to get their ever-improving on-site teams in front of the Realtor’s prospect. The fact is Realtors need the inventory. Homebuilders need qualified prospects to assure continued momentum.

Realtors, sharpen your new homes showing skills.

Homebuilders, don’t leave your Realtor networks at the dance.

After all, they stood by you in the recent past when you couldn’t get a date!

Eliminating Risks When Buying Your First Home!



Chapter 3 – Watching The Market

 

Now that you know more about finding a real estate agent, you should begin watching the housing market carefully in the weeks or months before buying your first home in order to get a feel for whether it is in your favor.



Watching The Housing Market



For the past year, the housing market has been favoring buyers. Soaring market values were short-lived as many people decided they just could not afford to live in certain areas because of the cost of housing.



This has caused many sellers to lower their prices. While this sounds like good news for you, the housing market can be very fickle.



Depending on where you want to live, you may end up having to pay a small fortune for the home of your dreams.



This is why watching the market, surveying neighborhoods, and finding a good agent will help you in your search.



While you should not become a slave to the housing market, you should keep the following in mind before buying your first home:



  • The past market value of the home you are interested in buying.
  • How much house your budget can get you in different neighborhoods and towns.
  • Neighborhood value.
  • How much the home should increase over time, and
  • Price reductions that may be available.



Just because you buy a home for a great deal does not mean you will make a huge profit when it is time to sell it. The housing market will continue to change and since this is your first home, you may want to choose something you can pay off quickly and make a larger profit on in the future.



Also, remember that any improvements you make on the home will increase its overall value. Just don’t spend too much money on improvements. Creating a home improvement budget and sticking with it will help you make those monthly mortgage payments and other payments that will be due.



One of the biggest mistakes that first time homeowners can make is buying a home for a lot less than they budgeted and then making improvements that will end up costing more money in the end. If you can find a great deal on a home, use that extra money as a cushion in case you lose your job or are too ill to work.



Owning a home is a big responsibility. Knowing how the market is moving and spending your money wisely will help when you are creating a budget, applying for a mortgage, and deciding how much to put down on a home.



Making The Most Of The Housing Market



While you should be watching the housing market, there are other areas of interest you should be watching also, such as:


  • National interest rates for mortgages.
  • Building rates in your area.
  • Number of foreclosures in your area, and
  • Stock market and gasoline prices.



National Interest Rates For Mortgages



Even though the housing market may be going your way does not mean that the interest rates you could be paying are. In the times when the housing market has taken a slump, interest rates tend to rise in order to retain the natural balance within the economy.



The interest rate you receive will depend on many factors, including:



  • Other loans
  • Current credit score
  • Credit history
  • Number of credit cards
  • Yearly income
  • Owed debts
  • Current interest rates
  • Type of lender
  • Time of year, and
  • Adjustable and fixed rate mortgage



If you see housing prices dropping, you may opt to buy a larger home than you would have if the prices had been higher a year ago. While you will be saving money on that end, you may be paying more each month because of the interest rate you received.



Building Rates In Your Area



If you notice the housing market has also caused the building of new homes in your area to decrease, then you may have to enter into a bidding war in order to buy your first home. When new home construction goes down, this can mean one of several things:



  • The area is no longer popular.
  • The interest in buying a new home has diminished.
  • People can no longer afford to purchase new homes.
  • People are opting for older homes that are less expensive to heat and keep cool during the year.



While that housing slump may bring a reduction of housing prices, you should consider making a bid soon after finding the home of your dreams because bidding wars will only end up costing your more money.



Number Of Foreclosures In Your Area



When looking for a home, you should consider looking at homes that are under foreclosure. This can be for many reasons, but usually banks that hold the titles want to unload these homes quickly so that they do not lose more money than necessary. Many times auctions will be held or the home will be advertised as a foreclosure in the newspaper or online.



You should check out these homes because you may find exactly what you are looking for in a home.



Stock Market And Gasoline Prices



Even if you do not play the stock market game or own a car, you should still pay attention to these areas because they are usually what will dictate housing prices and the cost to heat and cool the home.



When the stock market is doing well many people will spend their money more freely, which will give way to higher housing prices. But when gasoline prices go up so will the price to heat and cool a home, which may make homebuyers reconsider buying until the prices fall again.



This could be a good time to buy a home if you are willing to pay a little more each month in utility costs.



The impact society can have on the housing market can be huge, and it can also have lasting affects. Buyer’s market’s are created when there are more homes available than buyers, while seller’s market occurs when there are more people who want to purchase homes than there are for sale. These housing markets go back and forth due to issues mentioned above.



In The End



Buy a home when you are ready. Many times, people will buy a home because it is cheaper in the long run than paying rent each month.



The downside to home ownership is that you have to make your mortgage payments on time each month. Very few lenders will give you more time to come up with the money.



If you miss even one payment, your home could be foreclosed upon. You will have no place to live and your credit score will suffer severely.



If you can afford to make the move into your new home now, you should not wait too long before making an offer. The housing market can change quickly and with competition out there, you may end up losing more money if you don’t make an offer after seeing a home that you like.



Rent To Own



Another option you may have is to buy the property you are currently renting or rent a property that also offers you the option to buy after a certain amount of time. This will give you a chance to see if you like living in the home and will give you time to get your finances in order.



Rent to own properties are usually older than other homes and have been rental properties for some time. This means that they may not be in great shape. If you are looking for a property that you don’t mind repairing, then this option may be for you.



When looking at a rent to own property, you should ask the following questions:



  • How old is the home?
  • How many times has it been rented out?
  • What is the mortgage payment on the home?
  • What is the rent per month for the home?
  • How long will I have to make my decision?
  • What happens if I change my mind?
  • What happens if the home owner changes their mind?



You should still sign the proper contracts stating that you are interested in buying the home after the given time period. This will protect your rights and the rights of the current homeowner.



New Homes



When you think of your first home, you may be thinking of a brand new home. Since the housing market is favoring buyers at the moment, you may get a great deal from a builder that is developing a new housing community, or you may find a plot of land that is in an existing community. This can be a great alternative to buying an older home for many reasons:



  • You will have a part in designing the home.
  • You will have new appliances and lighting fixtures.
  • You will have new carpeting and flooring.
  • You will be able to choose all of the fixtures, carpeting, and flooring.
  • You will be able to add a porch or a patio, and
  • You will be able to place the home where you want it on your property.



A new home can be very exciting, but it can also be a lot of extra work. The first step in buying a new home is to find property. You should visit builders and real estate agents who will file all of the necessary paperwork, permits, and other items needed to build on the property. This can take a few weeks, so be sure to plan accordingly.



The next step is to design the home. This is the fun part where you will get to personalize your home to suit your needs.



Once you have been approved for a mortgage, the property has passed all of the land inspections, and the home has been designed, construction will begin. Depending on the time of year, you will have to wait about 3-6 months before you can move into your new home.



After construction is complete, you should complete a walk through of the home, check all of the fixtures, and have the home inspected before signing the final paperwork. Then the home is yours.



Many people hire a lawyer during the construction phase so that all of the paperwork has been filed and there are no problems during the walk through.



Buying a new home is just one more option you should consider when looking for your first home. Home construction can vary, as there are a few ways to build a home, including pre-fab homes that will be built elsewhere and delivered to your property where they will be assembled. Look into all of your options before deciding on a home that is right for you and your budget.



Using The Housing Market To Your Advantage



By paying attention to current housing trends and keeping a watchful eye on the homes in your area, you will be able to make an offer on a home that will be accepted.



While the market is continually changing, it is a useful tool for those who are on a budget, who want to find a home that is large enough to suit their needs, and will be worth more when it is time to sell it.



When watching the housing market, consider the following:



  • The number of homes that are in your area.
  • The number of days the homes have been on the market.
  • The price of a new home compared to those that are being sold by homeowners.
  • The price of renting vs. buying.
  • The number of homes that are in your price range.
  • The highest price you can pay when buying a home.
  • Interest rates in comparison to housing prices, and
  • The time of year.



Springtime is a good time to buy a home for several reasons:



  • More people want to sell.
  • It is easier to make appointments to view homes.
  • Prices are usually lower.
  • People are more willing to reduce their asking price.
  • Income tax returns can help with a buyer’s budget.



There will be plenty of people who could not sell their homes in the fall or winter months and who are trying to sell before the summertime. Homeowners that need to sell their homes before a certain time are more willing to reduce the price of their homes.



While you should consider looking at a home during any time of the year, you will find that many homes will be lower in the spring to attract buyers.



This is also the time when interest rates are re-evaluated and many lenders are willing to give loans to those whose credit is not the best. Take advantage of when interest rates are at their lowest even if it means accepting an adjustable rate mortgage. You will have the option of locking into a fixed rate at a later time.



While the housing market can change, the idea of selling one’s home will not. Homeowners may choose to wait out the current housing market, but if they are eager to buy another home or move to a new place, their wait will be short-lived.



Negotiate with homeowners until a fair price can be reached. This is the same practice during a sellers market as in a buyers market. You may have to play the bidding game for a week or two, but in the end, it is the person who needs to make the transaction happen the most that will end up compromising the most.

Eliminating Risks When Buying Your First Home!

 



Chapter 1 – Location Is Everything

One of the greatest factors in regards to overall costs of property is in the neighborhood or area itself. 

In real estate, location is everything and depending on what your personal preferences are, you should expect the costs of properties to change based on location, even when all other features and factors are similar.

For example, if you choose to live just outside of a city zone, a property of the same age and size could be as much as $50,000 cheaper than a property inside of a city zone.   

You will also want to consider what is available in different areas, based on what is most important to you.   Are there grocery stores local to the neighborhoods you are evaluating?  Are there late night conveniences?  Entertainment?  Doctors? Schools?

All of these factors will influence your decision to buy within certain areas, and if you have small children, you’ll also want to consider the quality of the schools in the same way that if you require regular medical treatment, you’ll want to make sure that there are medical facilities near your home.

For many homebuyers, location is the most important component when choosing a property and it’s also the key factor in which they spend the most time evaluating.   You want the conveniences that are of most importance to you! 

If you are considering purchasing a property outside of a city zone based on the savings, you’ll also want to make sure that the lower property rate is justified based on the costs to commute. 
On the other hand, if you are interested in living within city limits, you will want to pay attention to additional costs and factors such as metered water, sewage costs, pet restrictions and any by-laws that you may be affected by.

For example, in many cities there are bylaws preventing residents from having too many pets, and believe it or not, there are even bylaws that indicate what color you can paint your home! 

So be careful in choosing a neighborhood just based on cost alone. You will want to discuss any bylaws or restrictions applied to an area with your realtor before making an offer on a property. 

When considering different locations, you will want to try to spend some time in each area, so that you are able to get a personal feel for the neighborhood.


Consider staying in a nearby bed & breakfast or a hotel for a weekend, so that you can explore the area, walk through the neighborhoods, visit nearby attractions, restaurants, parks, and even speak with the locals. 


While many people overlook this simple step, it can really make a difference in helping you choose an area where you feel safe, relaxed and truly connected to.

If you have children, you will also want to include them in making your decision. Spend some family time around the different areas that you are considering so that there are few surprises when you move in. 

Pay attention the proximity of nearby schools, whether there are local events for your children based on their interests, whether you will be close to amenities or areas that you’ll visit frequently, and whether you can really see yourself living in an area for a long period of time.


When considering whether to purchase a home in the country, city or suburbs, weigh the pro’s and con’s of all three areas, to gain a better idea as to what is suitable for your family.

City living carries many different benefits, including:


  • Quick & Easy access to local events.
  • Extended business hours for many different amenities.
  • More options for stores, restaurants and schools.
  • Public transportation.
  • Typically offers more cultural events, concerts, attractions.


Just the same, there are also cons to living in the city as well, including:


  • Higher population.
  • Less property.
  • Higher housing costs.
  • Higher taxes.
  • Higher crime rate.
  • Higher pollution rate.
  • Limiting housing available.

If considering buying a house in the country, you will also want to weigh the pro’s and con’s including:

Pros:
 
  • More property available.
  • Lower tax costs.
  • Less population.
  • Not as many zoning issues or bylaws.
  • Overall cost of living is lower.

Cons:
 
  • Fewer amenities available.
  • Further commute to work and shopping.
  • Fewer schools & businesses to choose from.
  • Issues dealing with wells, septic systems, etc
  • Less entertainment, cultural events.

Other Location Considerations


  • Weather & Climate
  • Road conditions
  • Location of property in the neighborhood, and
  • Room to expand

You should be thinking ahead in terms of the weather. If you are planning on living in the country, for example, you should pay attention to possible flooding, snow, and other weather that could affect you getting to work.


If the road is a dirt road, you should ask if the county will clear the road and how often they will do so. This is another advantage of living in the city because you could always use public transportation if you do not want to drive.


The location of the property is also important. If the property is located at the bottom of a slope, you may have flooding issues after a rainstorm. Also, as your family grows, you may need more room.


You should find property that can hold a home addition if necessary. Investing in a home requires a great deal of thought and planning. Even if you do not have a family, you should find a home that will allow you to grow as your interests change.



If you are planning on taking out a mortgage, you will find it difficult to move abruptly in the event you discover that an area isn’t quite what you expected, so the more time you spend personally evaluating the neighborhoods and areas you are interested in, the more prepared you will be to make an informed decision.


Another important thing to keep in mind is the crime rate of specific areas.  You can identify and potential problems or higher crime rates by researching areas online.  You can also talk to your realtor about any concerns you have over crime rates, and make sure to compare crime rates to other neighborhoods. 

You also want to pay attention to your ‘gut instinct’ and how you personally feel about an area, when it comes to choosing a property:  

Does a certain neighborhood give you a sense of calm? Does it provoke a positive feeling? Good memories?  Does it seem clean and friendly?

And depending on your lifestyle, you will also want to pay attention to other contributing factors including:


  • Is there high speed Internet available?
  • Is there cable television available?
  • Are there ponds, rivers, lakes or oceans nearby?
  • Are there 24-hour conveniences? (drug stores, grocery stores, etc)
  • Is the neighborhood aesthetically pleasing?
  • Is there garbage pickup?
  • What is the average value of a home in that neighborhood?


All of these things will play a part in helping you to decide whether a specific property is suitable for your family, so take the time to research the different locations and start taking notes regarding your findings. 

Having this information readily available will provide you with a snapshot of the different properties and locations that you are considering, making it easier to come to a decision later on.

The Complete Home Buyers Handbook

Insider's Guide to Saving Money &
Eliminating Risks When Buying Your First Home!

Introduction:


You’re at the point in your life where you’re seriously considering purchasing your first home.  You’re sick of paying high rental costs when you know that you’ll never own that property and it simply makes sense to start investing in your own future.

Buying a home is an exciting adventure, and whether this is your first home or your second, it’s important that you take your time when evaluating potential properties so that you end up with a property that truly reflects your style, your preferences, your lifestyle and of course, the size of your family.

When considering properties, you also need to think outside of just the property itself. While that Cape Code on the corner may look like your dream home, what about the neighborhood?  The property costs in certain divisions? Are land taxes reasonable? Are you responsible for water charges? Sewer charges? Are there any zoning regulations or restrictions that you should be aware of? 

You should also consider your own personal lifestyle and make sure that the neighborhood is reflective of where you are in your life and what you are comfortable with.

For instance, perhaps you’re retired and looking to settle down in a quiet, mature neighborhood only to discover that the majority of families around you are all younger couples, with small children. It’s important to look at the big picture when choosing a property so that it truly offers you the setting and the atmosphere that you are most comfortable with. After all, this is your home and you are going to spend many years building a life there!

Driving by a property isn’t enough, and even if you love the layout, structure and design of a home, there are outside factors that should influence your decision to buy. 

Some of these things may include:
  • Choosing a neighborhood reflective of your own lifestyle.
  • Considering the layout of a home (open concept, 3 story, etc)
  • Considering the size of the property and whether there is room to expand.
  • Choosing a property with adequate privacy.
  • Choosing a property with a backyard, trees or fencing.
  • Choosing a property that offers features most important to you.
  • Whether the property needs improvements (and costs associated)
  • Understanding zoning regulations, the housing market, additional costs.

There are other factors to consider outside of the property itself as well, so that you can purchase a home with limited risks involved, including:
  • Hiring a home inspection company.
  • Financing opportunities, mortgages, and loans.
  • How to put in your first offer.
  • Setting a closing date that works for you and the seller.
  • Understanding contracts, hiring a real estate attorney, if applicable.
  • Moving expenses, hiring a moving company
  • Closing the deal and moving in!

There are many things to keep in mind when buying a home, and if it’s your first time purchasing a property, it can become overwhelming.  Rest assured, that your real estate broker and attorney will take care of many of these things, but you want to take a hands on approach when evaluating properties and considering your options so that you can get the best deal possible.

One of the biggest mistakes that new home buyers make is rushing into a deal.  They see a property that they absolutely love. It’s perfect!  The size, privacy, layout – it’s everything they could hope for only to find out that the property needs repairs, or that the land taxes are higher than in a neighborhood right across the street!

So, it’s important that you keep an open mind when evaluating potential houses, and take your time!  There are always other homes that could fit your lifestyle and personal preferences, so if you find one that has potential problems, move on!

Careful planning and thorough research will help you make the transition into your new home easier (and more affordable) than if you rush into an offer, or make a last minute decision on a property, so give yourself adequate time to visit properties before you even begin your search. 

If you are currently renting and are considering giving notice to your landlord, make sure that you feel comfortable with the allocated time in finding a new home. 

Depending on your area, you may be required to give your landlord 60-90 days notice, so keep that in mind so that you don’t accrue additional expenses by having to pay for rent when you are no longer there.

When beginning your search for a home, you want to consider all options so that you can get the best deal possible.  This includes:

New Homes vs. Older Homes

Older homes can be more affordable, however you may also be faced with costly repairs, such as replacing old equipment so that it’s up to code.  Older homes often carry higher insurance rates because of an increased risk of repairs.

On the other hand, older homes can make for great starter houses, if you have the ability to do a lot of the repairs yourself.  And in many cases,  you can end up buying a larger house at a fraction of the cost in comparison with a newer home. 

In addition, many people prefer mature properties because of the history surrounding the property, as well as existing vegetation, trees, and greenery, which provides privacy, while often giving buyers the opportunity to purchase more land for future development, than with a newer model.

But there are many pro’s and con’s to both a new and older home and it’s important that you fully understand everything about the properties that you are considering. Get as much history on the property as possible.

Ask the realtor for information about the home, talk to neighbors, check out sale history by searching online. 

Reviewing the history of sale transactions on a home can often give you a good idea as to whether there were problems with the property, especially if it’s been sold multiple times over a short period of time.

Also keep in mind that newer homes include a warranty, protecting you from unforeseen costs in repairs (such as roofing or flooring), while older homes will typically be sold “as is”.

When purchasing an older home, you want to make sure that you pay an inspection company to thoroughly inspect the property, including roofing, heating, electrical outlets, and whether the property is up to code including the type of wiring found throughout the property.

While it’s important to have a home inspection on both new and older homes, if the property is aged, you will want to make sure the inspection includes elements that may not be typically included in an inspection process for a newer home.

Moving into your new home should be an exciting and memorable time in your life, and if you really give yourself enough time to evaluate different properties, and you keep an open mind with both newer and older homes, you’ll be in a better position to get the most ‘bang for your buck’, while ending up with a home that you are happy with for years to come.

How To Sell Your Home Fast!

Selling your home fast doesn’t have to be an impossible endeavor.  In fact, even in today’s market you can still command a very reasonable price on your home within 90 days or less.  And if you follow some proven steps outlined below, your turn around time could be much faster than expected.

There may be various reasons that you want to get your home off the market as quickly as possible, so the principles offered here can work in nearly every situation.  So let’s look at some basic strategies that you can implement today to gain the most favorable results:


Staging Your Home Properly

This is one area where it may make sense to hire professional help.  Regardless, do your homework and take the time to find out exactly what can be done to make your property more marketable.  For example, be sure to strip away any of that stuff on the walls being used as "decorations" that is personal.  Also, place something of interest in each room that draws buyers in.


Additionally, people want to be able to picture themselves living in your space and visualizing where their own possessions will go.  So you need to clear out space and remove clutter, especially from public areas and closet spaces.  In fact, it is said that at least  1/3 of your own items should be placed somewhere else other then the home you are trying to sell.  We're selling floor space, after all.


Finally, maximize the use of lighting and make sure the house is spotless.  Most importantly, this goes for the kitchen and bathroom spaces which tend to endure a lot of wear and tear.  Patch any areas that need touch ups with some spackle, paint and caulk.  


Cut That Price


If you’re in a situation where you are moving and want to be rid of your property ASAP, then consider starting your list price at about 10% below its estimated value.  It’s better to start a little lower up front if you want to attract the attention of buyers and get quick offers. It can even bring multiple offers that could net you that 10% more! Your home will get the traffic you need to sell quickly!


This can also work much more effectively then dropping the price incrementally overtime.  In fact, the latter can even be harmful, because it may create the perception that nobody wants your property.  So make your listing competitive and be ready to entertain some early offers.


Do Your Research


People like things in writing.  Therefore, spend a little extra money to get an appraisal and inspection ahead of time, which you can offer at each showing.  This will build confidence with your buyers, since you will be providing the hard facts up front and you will show there is nothing to hide.


If you want to go the extra mile, you can even include receipts and/or documentation of repairs done on the home, as well as any new appliances that may have been purchased.  Your agent may also want to include information and statistics on the neighborhood as well.


Hire A Real Estate Agent With Proven Results


Did you know that the top 10% of agents produce 90% of the results?  Therefore, why hire a Realtor that can’t follow through on their commitment to sell, especially when time matters most?  You need a team to work on your side that knows your market and can command the best price for your home in a short period.


Also, it is vital that your agent has expertise in marketing your home both with traditional methods and using online strategies for maximum exposure.  Because information travels so quickly on the internet, it is crucial that you have property tours, videos, listing information, etc. are submitted to all the top traffic producing sites.  This will attract a high amount of responses and will help the word to travel quickly.
