A Few Property Hazards to be aware of, Breckenridge Real Estate (edit/delete)  
Common Property Hazards, Breckenridge Real Estate
 
Lead-Based Paint 
The use of significant quantities of lead in paint was banned in the United States in 1978, but more than 30 million older U.S. homes contain lead-based paint. The ingestion of lead can cause severe brain damage, particularly in children. Lead-based paint isn't hazardous when it is intact, but is hazardous when the paint is decaying, flaking, or peeling off the walls. Lead dust generated from friction on windows, doors, and stairs also creates a hazard.  Federal law

New Home - How Much Can I Afford? - Breckenridge Real Estate

It is believed that most people can afford a home two and a half times their annual income. This is a handy guideline, but the way interest rates vary, current thinking relies on how much you have saved for a down payment and closing costs, how much of a monthly mortgage payment you can afford and how much you need per month to meet other responsibilities. Down payment and closing costs saving money for the down payment and closing costs is usually the hardest part of preparing yourself … (0 comments)

Some tips to help sell your home - Breckenridge Real Estate

 
Make the Most of that First Impression
A well-manicured lawn, neatly trimmed shrubs and a clutter-free porch welcome prospects. So does a freshly painted - or at least freshly scrubbed - front door. If it's autumn, rake the leaves. If it's winter, shovel the walkways. The fewer obstacles between prospects and the true appeal of your home, the better.

skiing summit county: Title Insurance -do you need it? Breckenridge Real Estate - 01/02/12 10:47 AM
Title Insurance -do you need it?  Breckenridge Real Estate
Purchasing your home is an important decision. But how does one know that the property they purchased has a clear title? Because unknown problems can be hidden in the history of a property's title, homeowners pay for title insurance.
Title insurance is an insurance policy that guarantees the property title is free from the problems of hidden liens and claims. Public records for the property are searched to find problems in the title's ownership and history. The fee for title insurance is usually included in the itemization of closing costs from the … (0 comments)

Buying Real Estate?  Here are a few tips - Breckenridge Real Estate
Decide if you're ready to buy
First, compare the cost of renting to the after-tax cost of owning.
Years before you sell You need to keep a home for at least one year before the increase in value can offset the cost of selling. Keep renting if you expect to move within 12 months. Maintenance and insurance Many homeowners spend an amount equal to 1 percent of the purchase price for fire insurance and general maintenance. Enter at least 2 percent if you also want flood or earthquake coverage. Interest earned … (0 comments)

Traditions for New Year's Eve-United States-Breckenridge Real Estate 
 
Probably the most famous tradition in the United States is the dropping of the New Year ball in Times Square, New York City, at 11:59 P.M. Thousands gather to watch the ball make its one-minute descent, arriving exactly at midnight. The tradition first began in 1907. The original ball was made of iron and wood; the current ball is made of Waterford Crystal, weighs 1,070 pounds, and is six feet in diameter.
A traditional southern New Year's dish is Hoppin' John—black eyed peas and ham hocks. An old saying goes, "Eat … (0 comments)

Polishing the Merchandise
Before you make any decision on how to sell your home or what price to ask for it, put your property in the finest possible condition to impress buyers, agents, appraisers and inspectors. The way your house looks and functions will affect your bargaining power as a seller.
We've all heard the adage, "You never have a second chance to make a first impression." Attitudes toward people and homes are usually fixed and sometimes unchangeable with that first glance. The first impression of your home is called "curb … (0 comments)

You've found the mortgage you want and you're ready for the next step - the loan application. The process costs anywhere from $100 to $350 and is usually nonrefundable. Lenders levy the fee to cover the costs of running credit reports, filling out mortgage-insurance applications.
What to expect
You will need raw material, and lots of it, for the application: income and balance-sheet figures and evidence, copies of past income-tax returns and the title to your car. Take the paperwork you gathered during the prequalifying process with you. Be prepared to provide the name … (0 comments)
