Buying A Home In Chino Hills: Is It A Necessary Repair or One Of "Desire"?

 

Now that leads us to the “desirous home repair.” That would include such items as replacing the tile kitchen counters that are in reasonably good condition with granite counters or changing the carpet because it is blue and you want beige.

Most home buyers would like to find a house that is more or less move in ready and fits their minds ideal. While there is nothing wrong with this idea, we must also address this practically. This must be particularly addressed as more short sale and foreclosure properties enter the real estate market place across Chino Hills and the Inland Empire. Many of these properties have been subjected to deferred maintenance by home owners who just did not have the financial means to keep them up or because they have sat vacant for indeterminable amounts of time and fell into disrepair.

As you search for your Chino Hills home remain cognizant that your ideal property may exist but you may have to put a little elbow grease into it. Definitely try to negotiate the best real estate deal possible but be wise in asking for necessary repairs only. Despite what you may see on the national news regarding real estate, there are home sales and multiple offer situations happening across the Inland Empire in cities such as Chino Hills and Corona. Work with a knowledgeable Realtor who has a true idea of what Chino Hills real estate is really like.

Hi Keisha, These two kinds of repairs come up just about in any market, since I have seen them while working with many home buyers lately. I recommend that the buyers concentrate on those necessary safety required repairs when buying a resale home, but for those REOs, Short Sales and Foreclosures, there is always that 203 K rehab loan to get those highly desired repairs, like changing the color of the carpet, or remodeling that kitchen.

True Jerry. The 203k loan is another great avenue for buyers.
