selling: READY FOR SOME GOOD NEWS IN THE COSTA MESA REAL ESTATE MARKET?
- 05/28/08 05:29 PM
READY FOR SOME GOOD NEWS?
Some financial experts have labeled 2007's market as the "roulette economy." As we all know, whatever goes up must come down, but the nice thing about real estate is that whatever goes down always comes back upward again (much like stocks work).
A healthier market is anticipated in 2008, as Wall Street cleans up the lending mess and the pressure cooker of home demand releases its top. While the national average of home prices declined between one and two percent in 2007, that's peanuts compared to how much homes appreciated in the previous years. And many … (0 comments)

selling: It Takes Two To Harmonize!

IT TAKES TWO TO HARMONIZE!
Whether you are buying a home or selling one, it is likely that once an Offer To Purchase is on the table, you'll enter a phase of the transaction called Negotiation. Fear not - this is how both sides "win." By following a few reasonable recommendations, both parties can turn Negotiation into Agreement.
It's best to begin with a fair asking price and a fair offer. Sellers, don't shoot for the moon. Buyers, don't lowball on a home you really want. Overpricing is a turnoff to potential buyers, while low offers may meet with outright … (0 comments)

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!
How much home can you afford? How do you even begin to find the answer to that question? You've probably heard terms like "pre-approval" and "pre-qualification" tossed around, but do you understand the critical difference between those two? If your answer is "no," then please read on to avoid major disappointment when you make your offer.
"Pre-qualification" is a fine place to start, but if you're really serious about the time and money you're going to invest in purchasing a home, you'll really want to focus on "pre-approval." Approval, and not just qualification, is secured when you complete and submit … (0 comments)

Four forms of protection
REALTOR'S CORNER LARRY WEICHMAN
When you purchase an automobile, what's the first thing you take care of before driving around town? You've got to get insurance, of course. It's no different when you're ready to buy a home, but you have some more options.
First, understand that there are four basic types of insurance, some required, some not. Title insurance protects you in the event that title to the property is found to be in question. You definitely want to purchase title insurance as part of the closing transaction.
Homeowner's insurance provides coverage in cases of theft, damage and liability. … (0 comments)

Three important words for buyers
REALTOR'S CORNER LARRY WEICHMAN There are three little words that can make buyers very anxious: Offer To Purchase. However, there need not be any mystery or fear attached to that phrase. With an experienced professional guiding the process, feelings of trepidation can quickly turn to excitement and enthusiasm.
While many terms and conditions may be attached to an offer, the real biggie, of course, is price. While you may have heard that your offer should be a certain percentage below the asking price, or even a percentage below what you are willing to pay, consideration of your … (1 comments)

PAPERWORK AND PERSONALITY!
As you prepare to sell your home, you must begin by making a choice: to seek the services of a professional or to proceed without representation. You realize that your home is probably your biggest financial investment, with a value that could be hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Now imagine if you had a legal problem involving that kind of money - would you prepare and present your own case to the judge without an attorney? Not surprisingly, managing legal issues is just one of the top reasons that most sellers seek the representation of a qualified real estate … (0 comments)

Trust yourself in buying decision
REALTOR'S CORNER LARRY WEICHMANLarry@TeamWeichman.com When you're buying a home, who do you think is the most important person in the transaction? You, of course! That doesn't mean you won't need experienced professionals for guidance and assistance, but quite frankly, if youchoose not to buy, the entire process comes to a halt.
While home ownership is called the American Dream, it's a shame that nobody teaches it in school. Most folks face the biggest purchase of their life without any experience. That's why it's critical for someone to help you understand everything that happens during the process, whether … (1 comments)

selling: A Roller Coaster Ride for Mortgage Rates
- 02/22/08 04:24 PM
The short week turned out to be one of the most volatile in recent years. Early in the week, mortgage rates surged to the highest levels of the year, before they turned around and recovered nearly to their starting level, leaving only a small rise for the week. With the Fed cutting rates and pumping liquidity into the economy, and the government implementing fiscal stimulus programs, mortgage investors became increasingly worried that the stimulus would lead to higher inflation, which is negative for mortgage markets. The major inflation data released during the week amplified those concerns, as the January Core … (6 comments)

COMPETE AGAINST THE BIG GUYS!
Sellers face any number of challenges, but what if you're in the position of listing a modest home in what has become an "upper- end" community? You might not expect to fetch a selling price that compares to the McMansions that have popped up, but you might be surprised to learn that, if presented and marketed properly, you could get even more on a per square foot basis.
Most critical to selling success is pricing your home very carefully. Shooting for the moon at the outset can spell disaster later. The longer your home remains on the market, … (3 comments)

Get ready to raise the curtain
REALTOR'S CORNER LARRY WEICHMANLarry@WeichmanRealtors.com Comments 0| Recommend 0 Both homeowners and real estate agents are best served when a home sells quickly for a good price. There are many steps both parties can take to achieve that goal, and a recent trend is proving its value - whether the local market is hot or cool, statistics reveal that a staged home will sell faster and for a higher price.
This service is called staging because it's basically about theater. A professional stager assesses your home's strongest and weakest features and creates a series of "scenes" sure … (0 comments)
