Home buying.. Deal or NO Deal

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Pearland - Maggie McFarland

House holding signsIn the Pearland/Houston area, the market is making big strides.  Home sales are up 17% percent from last year and for the last four months, the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) cites record home sales.  As of today, there are 175 pending homes waiting to go to closing in Pearland, Texas.  Although it is still a buyer’s market, that does not necessarily mean you will get a mansion for little or next to nothing. 

 

Here are four important things to consider when purchasing a home.

1.    Will you be comfortable with the monthly payment?

2.    Do you like the house enough that you want to call it your Home?

3.    How is the house priced for the market?

4.    Are there any other offers that are being considered by the homeowner?

While we all like to negotiate, you must consider that the home may already be priced well - or even below market.  If there are other offers being considered by the owner, you will need to make a competitive and educated decision before making an offer. Your Realtor ® will be able to run a market analysis for the home to show you how the property is priced.  Its a great time to buy a home in Pearland, Texas! If you have any specific questions about buying a home or about the greater Pearland area, please do not hesitate to give me a call!
