When you want to purchase a home, one of your first steps should be meeting with a local lender and getting pre-approved for a loan.
This step is important for 3 reasons:
1. You'll know what you can spend. Looking at homes you can't purchase not only wastes your time, it's depressing. And, as many home shoppers have learned, once you switch to homes you can afford, none of them will please you. 2. You'll know if you need to restrict your search to homes that meet certain loan requirements. Some loans have … (0 comments)
If you're seeing plenty of potential buyers coming through your Buffalo home for sale, but none are presenting offers, there could be a very good, yet disappointing, reason: Your price is too high in comparison with similar homes.
Your home is being used to encourage the sale of other homes in Buffalo.
Here's what happens: Agents first bring buyers to your home, then they take them to a similar home that is significantly lower priced. Compared to yours, the second home is a bargain, so they make an offer.
They could also be using your home as … (0 comments)

keller williams buffalo: Safety tips for home sellers
- 01/13/14 10:54 PM
Offering your Buffalo home for sale means inviting strangers into your home. And while most of those strangers will be honest people simply looking for a home, you need to take precautions against those who are viewing homes for illegal purposes. To protect yourself, your family, and your possessions, follow these rules: If you're at home, never let anyone in without an agent – and never let anyone in even with an agent unless they've called your agent to identify themselves and make an appointment. They may have called 10 minutes ago, but the call at least indicates that they … (0 comments)
keller williams buffalo: Should I sell my Buffalo home when prises are expected to rise?
- 01/13/14 03:10 AM
Many Buffalo, NY homeowners are hesitant to sell when the news programs are telling them that higher prices are in the future. The answer to whether or not you should sell while the market is rising comes down to the reason why you want to move. If you plan to "move up" then it's definitely the time to sell, because the price of that new home will also rise. When you do the math, you'll see that you'll save a lot more than you'll "lose" if you sell and buy now. After all, 10% of $250,000 is far less than … (0 comments)

- 12/14/13 07:50 PM
Should you keep your home on the market during the holiday season? Of course it's up to you, but do remember that those who are looking at homes instead of doing "holiday things" are likely to be serious buyers. In fact, they may be out of area buyers who need to find a home during their children's school holiday. It IS a bother - trying to keep the house in showing condition while you're doing all the other holiday preparations. That said, if you decide to stay with it, think about how you decorate, and do take precautions. Decorating … (1 comments)

keller williams buffalo: The purchase price is just one component of a home purchase offer
- 12/06/13 11:04 PM
While most sellers look first at the stated purchase price of a home in Buffalo, the price is really only the starting point. Other details reveal the true costs to the buyer and the true proceeds to the seller. The most obvious is the request for the seller to pay the buyer's closing costs. Depending upon the loan program, this could be as much as 9% of the purchase price. On a home valued at $200,000, paying buyer's closing costs could mean an $12,000 reduction in proceeds for the seller – and an $12,000 savings for the buyer. Then … (1 comments)
