Buying a NEW HOME? Bring Your Buyer’s Representatives with you a Realtor


Bring Your Buyer’s Representatives a Realtor
Why Every New Home Buyer Needs the Representation of a Realtor


New home sales here in Phoenix are UP, and have been for some time NOW,  and here in the Phoenix Area buyers are searching for a Newly Constructed or yet-to-be-constructed home. Unlike conventional home buyers, these buyers are generally less knowledgeable about real estate than the HOME SELLER are, since the sellers of NEW HOMES are DEVELOPERS and that’s what they do for a living. 
Because of the special complexities of a new home purchase, BUYERS are in desperate need of representation and counseling. Buyers NEED there OWN Representation. But many buyers feel when purchasing a New home, that they don't need a Realtor. When in fact it is preferred.
Realtors Are Your Advocate During the Process * Bring A REALTOR * The new Home Builder will have you sign a waver letting you know that THEY represent THE BUILDER NOT YOU! 

Employing the services of a Realtor, particularly when purchasing a newly constructed home, will give buyers an extra line of defense against many of the common issues that arise during the buying process. Rather than battling the builder ALONE when problems arise during construction, your Realtor will take matters into their own hands and work to assure that any problem is corrected in a way that is suitable to you.
 
Realtors are also experienced in contracts and contract negotiations. While the wording of a contract may be somewhat cryptic to the buyer, a Realtor can clarify any wording that is confusing and work to get changes made to contract stipulations that are unsuitable. This will help to prevent misunderstandings and misleading contract terms that are binding, once a purchase agreement is signed.
Still Want to Go It Alone?
While some have successfully purchased homes directly from a builder, buyers should ask themselves if this is a risk that they are willing to take. In most cases, the peace of mind and protecting that is given by using a Realtor is well worth their commission. By choosing to purchase a newly constructed home through a Realtor, the likelihood of a positive outcome is almost assured, from start to finish.

Are You Sitting on the Fence, wondering if you should buy!

Are you "sitting on the fence" wondering, and trying to decide whether or not if it's the right time to buy a home? With the changes in the economy, as well as the Real Estate market, it's no wonder so many people aren't hopping off just yet. You turn on the television and here prices are going lower, a double dip they call it, so you just sit wondering if it is time to buy. It seems like a never ending downward spiral. You talk with friends, Realtors and even know people who are buying everything they can get there hands on..and you sit! and sit on that fence..Someone says DONT buy prices are going lower and someone else says I just closed my 3rd home..
Every investor is different..Some investor are looking to fix and flip..some fix and flippers are looking to make 25%-35% return and some are happy to walk with 5-10-15K.. Some investor are looking for that vacation home and are very happy to just rent it out for a few years and JUST have the mortgage paid for before retirement for a few yrs. Some investor are buying and holding, looking for rental returns from 6-8-10 and 15% on monthly rents.. Some buy at auction and flip right out of auction. Some investors want a A+ property doing nothing to do to the property(move in and ready to go) and some want a fixer that needs the works. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? and WHERE DO YOU want to GO?
WHAT a MESS and WHAT to DO!! If you are swirling in that big pool of buyers wondering if you should buy a house, give me a call and lets discuss your options and see where your goals are..
Purchasing real estate is not all about price, it's about timing, understand the market, knowing the neighborhood, creative thinking (outside the box) and knowing how to negotiation to create a win-win situation. How well can your agent negotiate on your behalf?

Thinking out of the box...That's what it takes today to land a home. If you want to work with a realtor that know how to get the home and close the deal call Linda 602-391-8246

To Buy a Phoenix Home or Not to Buy - That Is the Question ?

To Buy or Not To Buy:

It seems every day where ever I go I am asked, Is it time to buy? Is the market better? Are people buying now? Will the market get better for buyers?

And my answer is : Yes, it is time to buy, and has been time to buy for the last yr. and half. Rates remain solid at or below 5% for most circumstances. If you are a potential buyers sitting on the fence, NOW is the time to jump off. There is no telling when rates will rise, but rise they will. The question is when and how high. Don't get burned. The  market is better,  and  yes it is getting better for the 1st time in 3yr according to the Phoenix Business Journal and  new research from Arizona State University.


Waiting for that 1/8 or even 1/4 point lower on rates is a gamble and the only benefit you may capture by waiting. If you have the money to put down and you feel your jobs are secure in this wild economy…then go for it.

Arizona State University shows that Phoenix-area housing prices in April posted a year-over-year increase for the first time in three years. The Arizona State University-Repeat Sales Index measures changes in average Phoenix-area home prices from year to year. The latest index finally reveals an estimated 1 percent increase from April 2009 to April 2010. This follows a 13-percent fall from December 2008 to December 2009, a 9 percent drop from January 2009 to January 2010, a 7-percent decline from February to February, and an estimated 3percent drop from March to March. The median price for Phoenix-area single-family homes is projected to be $135,000 for April, which would put the market back at the same level as December of 2008.

“This report reflects an important milestone in the recent housing cycle, with preliminary April data showing the first year-over-year increase in house prices market wide,” said Karl Guntermann, the Fred E. Taylor Professor of Real Estate, who authored the new report with Research Associate Adam Nowak. “Also, prices for lower-end houses and the foreclosure segment of the market, which turned positive in March, continued to increase on an annual basis.” The townhouse/condo market also remains rough. The new index shows a price drop of 26 percent from February 2009 to February 2010. Preliminary numbers for March and April anticipate 19 percent annual decline. The median town home/condo price in February was $86,400, with estimated drops to $83,500 in March and $81,000 in April. The ASU-RSI is produced through the Center for Real Estate Theory and Practice at the W. P. Carey School of Business.

The benefits out way the risk,  the best deals are happening now!  It is Time to BUY NOW...

Selling A Home In A Slump

Despite recent trends suggesting the real estate market has hit an all time low there are still plenty of people buying homes, 1st time home buyers and home owners taking advantage of the low interest rates and upgrading to bigger homes. So how can you improve your odds of selling your home during these hard times?
Eeverything around you is telling you the market is your worst enemy, you have to figure out how to turn your luck around. Fortunately, there are ways you can do that. There are several steps you can take to make luck work for you and not against you.
  • First, make sure your home is always available for showing, no matter your situation. This will improve the odds you will sell your home. Don’t let inconvenience stop you from showing your home to anyone interested.
  • Make sure your home is clean all the time, even if you are not naturally a clean person.
  • Have a professional real estate agent or broker come and stage your home so it presents in the best possible light. This will improve your odds of putting your best face forward and impressing potential home buyers.
  • If you have pets, make sure they are contained, clean and that all pet odors are removed from the home, unless you plan to sell only to other pet owners. Even then make sure your pet materials are meticulously clean and your yard free of pet debris and waste. Having pets is fun but showing a home with pets in it can be challenging. If you leave the home for a showing take your pets with your or have them restrained so they do not scare off prospects.
  • Set a competitive price if you want people to show your house and if you plan to sell your home in a tight market. You probably won’t get top dollar but you can get a fair asking price even if trends suggest the housing market is plummeting. Remember there are still people that have money and have an interest in plunking it down on a new house and worthy investment.

Did You Know?


Nearly one-quarter of first-time buyers are single females who purchased their first home on a median income of $47,400.

Women are not waiting around for their soul mate to show up to buy a home, they are going out and getting it on their own. According to The National Association of Realtors 2008 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, women are becoming the second largest group as homebuyers. In 2008, 2.0 million (23%) of single women were homebuyers due to higher divorce rates, delayed marriages and longer life expectancies. Women are also making more money giving them the income necessary to purchase a home.
Becoming more educated and financially stable has given single women the confidence to procure a home. They make sure to research and read every single line of an application or contract before purchasing a home. Females understand that homeownership will bring them tax benefits. They realized that buying a home is an investment that will benefit them in the future. Purchasing a home gives them a sense of security, economically, and a place to live when they retire. Since women understand that a good home investment brings equity, many of them are investing into buying a second home.


-Single females accounted for 13% of all second/vacation homebuyers in 2001/2003, according to the Realtors Profile.
-Single women purchased approximately one in five homes in 2003, while men purchased more than in 10.
-More women (15.5 million) than men (11.8 million) lived alone. Among these, women were more likely than men to own their homes (56% vs. 47%).
-In 2001, the total homeownership rate was 67.8% overall, 49% for single mothers, 51.9% for single women without kids, 69% for single men with children; for racial and ethnic minority women overall, homeownership rate is only 35.5%. (2001 Census)
-Fannie Mae predicts that by 2010, women headed households are to increase to nearly 31 million-close to 28% of all households in the country.
