ocean county new jersey: Home Styles at a Glance - 02/28/11 11:56 AM
 
When beginning your home search, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the onslaught of both real estate terminology and architectural descriptions. For the uninitiated, phrases like "French Colonial" or "post-war bungalow" seem like another layer of jargon designed to confuse the average buyer. The overview below will help you familiarize yourself with the basic characteristics of some of the most common residential architectural styles in the U.S.
Victorian Style

Victorian architecture refers to several styles developed during the reign of Queen Victoria. The Victorian styles evolved largely from the Victorian idea that architecture (along with fashion, furnishings, among … (1 comments)

ocean county new jersey: Real Estate Terminology for First Timers - 06/19/10 01:42 PM
First time buyers face a learning curve that can feel overwhelming if the right level of support and education is not available. It's not enough to merely educate one's self on buying strategies, mortgage application, and closing process. Buyers must also navigate through a sea of unfamiliar legalese, home building lingo and real estate specific jargon.
The glossary below is by no means complete and is no substitute for the careful guidance of an experienced real estate agent, but it can serve as a good primer for consumers getting their feet wet in real estate for the first time.

ocean county new jersey: The Dangers of an Unreasonable Asking Price - 06/18/10 09:31 PM
One of the most common and costly mistakes made by sellers is setting an unrealistically high asking price. Every seller wants to receive the highest closing price possible for their house, but losing sight of fair market value can have serious repercussions.
In some cases a lack of objectivity results in overpricing the home, other sellers may subscribe to the theory that pricing high initially leaves room to negotiate lower later. Overpricing from the outset could actually force you to end up settling for a lower price than you would have received by setting a realistic asking price based on market … (5 comments)

ocean county new jersey: NO COUNTRY FOR 'FIZZBOES' - 11/04/08 06:05 AM
Why Now Is Not The Time To Sell A Home Alone
Some home sellers in the boom years were tempted to market their homes "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO) to avoid paying a real estate broker's commission--especially in seller's markets where homes attracted multiple buyers. While the impulse to save money is certainly understandable, selling without professional representation in today's market is a risky strategy that could actually result in lower "walk-away cash" (net proceeds) from the sale and a longer time on the market. Here's why: Increased CompetitionThe nationwide inventory of existing homes for sale still hovers around a 10-month … (1 comments)

 Some Guidelines
 
1) Review Your Credit History
Many of us never bother to check our credit score or review our credit history unless we're preparing to apply for a loan, but it doesn't hurt to examine your credit history at any time to check for potential errors. Check for any incorrect or outdated information, and dispute anything that is inaccurate. Resolving incorrect or incomplete information may take time, so it pays to address the issue directly rather than risk affecting any potential credit needs in the future.
2) Are You "In the Red"?
Are you spending more money than you're … (1 comments)

ocean county new jersey: The ARM's Race of 2008 - 07/26/08 10:37 PM

This August, some homeowners will be feeling a little more than the usual heat. By the end of this summer, over 300,000 subprime adjustable rate mortgages will "reset" from lower introductory rates to current market rates. The change in rate can equate to a tough-to-stomach bump in monthly payments, especially for loans that feature extra-low "teaser" rates.
The Refinancing Option
Choosing to refinance has two main benefits :
Lock into a Fixed Rate - Why worry about periodic rate resets and rising mortgage rates if you don't have to? Refinancing gives owners the chance to lock into a fixed rate … (0 comments)

ocean county new jersey: Intrest rates STILL Historically Low- It's time to BUY NOW - 07/23/08 07:50 AM
I was reading an article today on the New Jersey Association of REALTORS® website
The market favors first-time home buyers, who make up 40 percent of the New Jersey market. Buyers currently have many more homes to choose from and are benefiting from mortgage interest rates that are near historic lows. 
Without having to sell previously-owned property, first-time buyers can also take advantage of the increasing rate of affordability.   According to the First Quarter 2008 New Jersey Home Sales Report, New Jersey's housing affordability composite index rose over 100, signifying that a family earning the state median income has the … (4 comments)

ocean county new jersey: Home Inspections- May News letter - 05/03/08 09:24 PM
 
               
 One of the most important steps in the home buying and selling process is often overlooked: the home inspection. While many buyers and sellers alike are wary of inspections (for fear of finding the dreaded "deal-breaker"), in reality thorough and timely inspections \help smooth the process and prevent headaches during or after closing.
The Difference between Appraisal and Inspection
Many consumers are unclear regarding the difference between a home appraiser and a licensed home inspector. A house appraisal is an independent evaluation of the current market value of the home. Generally speaking, the appraiser's job is to review the property to … (0 comments)
