Will a realtor become obsolete in 2011? Homebuyers rejoice!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Of Santa Clarita

Homebuyers. 2011 is your year. The reason I say this is for a couple of reasons actually. The already low pricies we have seen (over 40% drop since the peak of 2006), the historic 40 year lows we are currently experiencing with interest rates, and the surge of inventory that is likely to happen in the next couple of months with banks releasing some of their foreclosure inventory.

If you have sat on the sidelines for the last couple of years waiting for the market to bottom out, then wait no more. The increase in inventory will bring along with it the ability to negotiate a better price on the home of your choosing because when there is more to choose from, you get a better deal. There are a few things to consider if you are seriously considering the purchase of a home of course. Below are a few points to consider.

  • Determine your purchasing power by consulting with a qualified mortgage professional.
  • Research your area of choice and select an experienced and knowledgable Real Estate Professional such as Brian Melville to help guide you through the process.
  • Discuss with your agent allof your specific criteria to figure out which neighborhoods are appropriate for your budget and lifestyle.
  • Ask lots of questions.
  • Be  dilligent in your investigation of not only the home, but the neighborhood (Drive the neighborhood at varied hours to see the overall feel).
  • get a certified home inspection by a reputable home inspector.
  • Always defer to your agent with any areas of concern.
