5 Deal Killers. By Dan Polimino. - 04/26/11 09:59 AM
We just started the selling season four weeks ago and the market has been heating up nicely. Sellers are moving their properties and buyers are getting their deals. Buyers still have the upper hand; so today, I want to talk about five things that can for sure kill an opportunity for you to sell your home.
* The home shows dirty. This is probably the number one deal killer. If the buyer gets the feeling that you don’t take good care of the home, forget about selling it anytime soon. In most cases, the buyer will walk out without even … (6 comments)

Easier to buy than rent? - 04/21/11 09:11 AM
Is it easier to buy than to rent? Maybe. I know that some people who would not qualify for a mortgage have no choice except to rent. Recently I was surprised to discover that some people who could qualify to buy a home were having difficulty renting. The reason is simple. Vacancy rates in the Denver metro are approaching record lows, and some landlords are setting very high standards for renters.
A real estate agent I know told me about renting a single family home in South Jefferson County last week. Nice home, fairly priced, but nothing exceptional about it. She was inundated with qualified applicants. One of the first prospective renters was … (2 comments)

Hot Trends In Bathroom Remodeling. By Dan Polimino. - 04/19/11 09:16 AM
http://coloradodreamhouse.com/index.php/news/ So, what is it that people want when it comes to bathroom remodeling? Here is a short list that I complied while visiting some home and garden shows this past spring:
* A spa-like atmosphere. In tough economic times, fewer people have the opportunity to visit a spa, but if you made your master bathroom into a spa-like atmosphere, that would create some value in the home. Some surveys show that this is a high priority on a buyer’s wish list. After all, if you can’t go to the spa, it would be nice to have the spa in … (0 comments)

You Cannot Fool Today’s Buyers. By Dan Polimino. - 04/12/11 07:11 AM
Story # 1
A friend was telling me a story about buying a used car from a dealer. The car had the Inspected and Certified Used Car sticker on it, and the dealership represented that the car was in good working order. Nonetheless, the buyers wanted to have it checked out by their mechanic before putting down the money and driving it off the lot. Upon inspection, the mechanic told these would-be buyers that the car needed a new fuel pump as well as a new timing belt.
The buyers went back to the dealership and told them what the … (3 comments)

For Purchase or a Refi, VA IS THE WAY - 04/07/11 08:51 AM
In addition to not requiring a down payment, VA mortgages are now a superior choice to FHA mortgages in most cases. The reason is simple. While the upfront costs are usually higher than a FHA loan, there is no monthly mortgage insurance on a VA loan. 
Upfront costs, referred to as the mortgage insurance premium (MIP), for FHA mortgages are currently 1% of the loan amount. In addition, there is the annual mortgage insurance premium which is paid monthly. This will be increasing to 1.15% on April 18, 2011. On a FHA mortgage of $200,000, the upfront MIP would be $2,000, bringing the loan amount to $202,000, and the annual mortgage premium would be $191.67 … (1 comments)

Inspections On New Construction. By Dan Polimino. - 04/05/11 09:40 AM
It’s one of those frequently asked questions: “Should I get an inspection on a newly constructed home?” Great question and I usually tell my buyers that the answer is yes/no and I’ll explain why.
You see, most builders offer a one-year bumper to bumper warranty on the home that they just sold you. Moreover, during the due diligence process, buyers usually get a chance to do two walkthroughs with the warranty and service superintendent. The purpose of the first walkthrough is to point out any defects, problems, or items that you think need to be fixed in the house. The … (2 comments)
