West Cleveland Suburbs ~ Home Buyer Tips ~ #10 - Owning A Home is a GREAT Investment...But.... And finally....Home Buyer Tip #10 of the Top 10 Tips To Take the Stress Out of Homebuying: 10. Choose a home first because you love it; then think about appreciation. While U.S. homes have appreciated an average of 5.4 percent annually over from 1998 to 2002, a home's most important role is to serve as a comfortable, safe place to live. Once again, we all wish we had a crystal ball, But, alas, we don't. Homes appreciate at different rates, in different areas of … (0 comments)

West Cleveland Suburbs ~ Home Buyer Tips ~ #9 - Unless It Was Love At First Sight....
Home Buyer Tip #9 of the Top 10 Tips To Take the Stress Out of Homebuying:
9. Accept that a little buyer's remorse is inevitable and will probably pass. Buying a home, especially for the first time, is a big financial commitment. But it also yields big benefits! Don't lose sight of why you wanted to buy a home and what made you fall in love with the property you purchased.
From beginning to end, the process of finding and buying a house … (0 comments)

West Cleveland Suburbs ~ Home Buyer Tips ~ #6 - Location, Location, Location!
And now for Home Buyer Tip #6 of the Top 10 Tips To Take the Stress Out of Homebuying:
6. Remember your home doesn't exist in a vacuum. Don't get so caught up in the physical aspects of the house itself - room size, kitchen, etc. - that you forget about important issues as noise level, location to amenities, and other aspects that also have a big impact on your quality of life.
I realize the title has become a cliche when it comes to talking about … (0 comments)

West Cleveland Suburbs ~ Home Buyer Tips ~ #5 - Negotiation can mean EVERYONE wins!
Time for Tip #5 of the Top 10 Tips To Take the Stress Out of Homebuying:
5. Don't try to be a killer negotiator. Negotiation is definitely a part of the real estate process, but trying to "win" by getting an extra-low price or by refusing to budge on your offer may cost you the home you love. Negotiation is give and take.
I've seen it happen on both sides. A buyer will lose the house they really want because they feel the sellers … (0 comments)

West Cleveland Suburbs ~ Home Buyer Tips ~ #4 - Try to see the forest, not just the trees
Here's Tip #4 of the Top 10 Tips To Take the Stress Out of Homebuying:
4. Accept that no house is ever perfect. If it's in the right location, the yard may be a bit smaller than you had hoped. The kitchen may be perfect, but the roof needs repair. Make a list of your top priorities and focus in on things that are most important to you. Let the minor ones go.
Close your eyes and imagine … (2 comments)

West Cleveland Suburbs ~ Home Buyer Tips ~ #3 - You aren't going to buy THAT house, are you??
Here's Tip #3 of the Top 10 Tips To Take the Stress Out of Homebuying:
3. Don't ask for too many opinions. It's natural to want reassurance for such a big decision, but too many ideas from too many people will make it much harder to make a decision. Focus on the wants and needs of your immediate family - the people who will be living in the home.
Of course it helps to bring along a parent or … (7 comments)

West Cleveland Suburbs ~ Home Buyer Tips ~ #2 - Where IS that crystal ball??
Here's Tip #2 of the Top 10 Tips To Take the Stress Out of Homebuying:
2. Remember, there's no "right" time to buy, just as there's no perfect time to sell. If you find a home now, don't try to second-guess interest rates or the housing market by waiting longer - you risk losing out on the home of your dreams. The housing market usually doesn't change fast enough to make that much difference in price, and a good home won't stay on the market … (4 comments)
