home: Setting The List Price When Selling Your Home - 01/06/14 02:10 AM

All owners want the best possible price and terms when selling their home. Several factors, including market conditions and interest rates, will determine how much you can get for your home. The idea is to get the maximum price and the best terms during the window of time when your home is on the market.
In other words, home selling is part science, part marketing, part negotiation and part art. Unlike math where 2 + 2 always equals 4, in real estate there is no certain conclusion. All transactions are different, and because of this, you should do as much … (0 comments)

home: Market Conditions – Is it a Buyer’s Market or a Seller’s Market? - 12/30/13 04:42 AM
A CMA (comparative market analysis) often includes a Days on the Market (DOM) value for each comparable house sold. When real estate is booming and prices are rising, houses may sell in a few days. Conversely, when the market slows down, average DOM can run into many months.
In a seller's market, you can price a bit beyond what you really expect, just to see what the reaction will be. In a buyer's market, if you really need to sell promptly, offer an attractive bargain price.
If You Price High, Set a Schedule for Lowering the Price Some sellers list at … (0 comments)

So how do you take control of your stuff? Organize your space, put things where they are easily found and store items so they can be seen. And – professionals say this is truly the hardest step –give away the things you've outgrown, never used or don't need any more.

To understand the difference between "listing prices" (what sellers are asking for) and "sold prices" (what buyers are willing to pay).

Establish what's included in the sale-land, furniture, appliances, etc. Ask why the sellers are moving. Determine the annual property taxes. Ask how much utility bills cost each month.

A mortgage preapproval should be a homebuyer's first step when purchasing a home. A borrower can choose to meet with a lender or get an initial preapproval via the Internet. The preapproval process is similar to the actual mortgage process and will, in fact, eliminate a lot of time after a home has been chosen.
 
When obtaining a mortgage preapproval, the borrower will complete a mortgage application and submit the necessary documentation to the lender. The lender will pull a credit report and examine the borrower's credit.
 
Based on all of this information, the lender will determine the … (0 comments)

home: Factors Affecting Mortgage Interest Rate Changes - 12/04/13 09:39 PM
There's more to the cost of owning that dream home than the price the seller is asking for. The interest rate on your mortgage loan affects the price and how much you'll pay every month to your mortgage company.
Comparing mortgage interest rates is important because they may change daily, and different rates may be associated with different types of loans. With variable-rate or adjustable-rate mortgages, it is understood from the outset that the loan's interest rate will change over time, becoming higher or lower depending on the current economic climate.
Let's look at why mortgage interest rates fluctuate so frequently.
