How Jason & Cindy Saved 6 Months of Time and $4,350!
by Dan Weis, Cincinnati Realtor, Home Buyer Specialist
Cincinnati, OH Real Estate

Jason and Cindy came to me last summer ready to stop paying rent of $725/month and buy their first home. 

They had been renting an apartment in the Cincinnati area for 3 years and were sick of it.  

I recommended that they meet with a mortgage consultant, who would review their financial situation, including their credit scores and discuss 4 different mortgage options with them, based on their life plans for the next 5 - 10 years.  They found an FHA program that they were comfortable with. 

After looking at homes available in their price range, they determined they were probably a year away from being able to buy the type of home they really wanted, because most of the homes in their price range were fixer-uppers and they wanted a home they could move right into without doing a lot of work.  They were disappointed that they couldn't find the right home.  I agreed that unless interest rated came down, they should wait, because I wanted them to be happy with their first home and not buy a home just to buy one.

Then interest rates dropped!  Jason and Cindy could now qualify for more home at the same payment they wanted to be at.

I immediately called Jason and Cindy and we started looking again, because the home they really wanted was now affordable.  Within two months, they were in a beautiful home that fully met their needs, was within their monthly budget and saved them six months of rent payments totalling $4,350. 

They were so happy they had waited and didn't just settle for something less that they had dreamed about.

If you are currently renting and would like to find out if now is the right time to buy a home, please contact me by email: dan@danweis.com or by phone/text: 513-615-1890.  There's never any pressure or obligation!  Please read my BIO and you'll understand how you'll benefit from my 26+ years of Cincinnati real estate experience.

5 Factors To Consider When Pricing Your Cincinnati OH Home are:

1. Location - You can't change where your home is located.  The value you placed on the home was based partly on its location and with that came the price you paid for the home.  The price you pay for two similar homes: one on a quiet cul-de-sac street and another on a busy street; are going to be different.
   
2. Supply & Demand - By viewing many homes, buyers are eduating themselves and getting an understanding of an area's pricing.  If your home isn't competitively priced compared to other similar homes, it won't sell.  You need to determine how many other homes are competing with and how many homes have sold in the past 3-6 months.  A buyer's market will see home prices go down when inventories are up, while back in 2003 to 2006, we experienced a strong seller's market.
   
3. Condition - Your goal for preparing your home for sale is to showcase it in its best light.  That means decluttering it, cleaning it, touch-up painting it, updating fixtures, etc.  It needs to make buyers walk in to the home and say "WOW".  You're in complete control over your home's condition and can maintain or increase its value and decrease its marketing time by putting it in the best possible condition.
   
4. Pricing - Home prices are all over the board in today's market, but you have to remember that pricing a home affected by many factors and people...the buyer, the buyer's agent, the buyer's parents/friends, the appraiser, the lender's underwriter, the home inspector, the termite inspector, the title company and others.  Your home must be priced within the appropriate range or it won't sell.  Your home is a commodity and it's competing with other properties.
   
5. Realtor - The agent you select to market the sale of your home cannot set the final sale price just as a stockbroker cannot dictate the daily stock market prices.  An experienced agent, who prepares a detail market analysis along with absorption rate statistics can help you find the proper price range.  Never pick an agent based solely on the price they select...they may be trying to 'buy' your listing for now and then beat you down later to a more realistic price once you've hired them.  It's critical for you to base your pricing decision on the written facts and statistics of the current market, no matter how good or bad it is...it's the market!
