There Are Major Incentives For Homeowners To Sell Their Homes Now

July 1, 2021 by Joanne Ahn

there-are-major-incentives-for-homeowners-to-sell-their-homes-nowNow is a great time to take out a new home loan because mortgage rates continue to hover near historic lows. As a result, many homeowners are refinancing to a lower rate. This is also the perfect time to move because homeowners can take out a new home loan with a lower interest rate. Mortgage rates will not remain at historic lows forever and have already begun to rise slowly this year. Homeowners should sell now and take out a new home loan before they rise too much.

Homeowners Can Take Advantage Of A Bidding War

Because the real estate market is so competitive right now, homeowners might be able to take advantage of a bidding war. With surveys showing that homeowners are getting more offers on their homes than ever before, this is an opportunity for homeowners to drive up the sale price.

Homeowners Can Speed Through The Closing Process

While many homeowners get frustrated about the time it takes to close a sale, home sales are closing faster than they ever have in the past. The number of all-cash sales is going up as well, which is also an opportunity for homeowners to close quickly. Anyone who is looking for a quick closing process should consider selling in the current market.

Homeowners Can Sell Without Updating The Home

Finally, this is also a great time for homeowners to sell because they might be able to sell their homes without updating anything. Instead of having to worry about home upgrades and cosmetic changes, homeowners might be able to get great value for the home as-is. This opportunity might not come along again for decades, so now is a great time to sell.

Falling In Love With An Imperfect Home

October 15, 2020 by Joanne Ahn

Falling In Love With An Imperfect HomeWhen people start the process of trying to find a home, they want to make sure that they take the time to get this decision right. The reality is that a home is the most expensive purchase that most people are ever going to make. As a result, they need to make sure they find a home that will meet their needs.

At the same time, it will be hard to find a home that is truly perfect. Therefore, it is a great idea for everyone to come up with a list of necessities and a list of features on which they can be more flexible. How can people do this? How can people fall in love with an imperfect home?

Remember That There Are Options

Every home is going to have its flaws. Those who spend the time trying to find a home that is absolutely perfect are going to have decision paralysis. On the other hand, it is important to remember that there are options available. Nearly everything that is wrong with a potential home can be remedied, fixed up, or recycled. In this manner, even if a home is not perfect when people first look at it, there is a way to make it perfect with a few improvements or upgrades. This is a nice alternative that people should keep in mind.

The Styles Of Homes Change

Furthermore, keep in mind that it might be helpful to find a home that will grow with the family or the homeowners. Styles rotate and change on a regular basis, so people should not worry about finding something that is going to be absolutely perfect right this minute. For example, the open concept is one of the biggest shifts that has taken place during the past few years.

Closet standards have changed as well. There are even inconvenient structural columns that people have found a way to love. There are plenty of ways that homeowners can take a home that has flaws and find ways to help them match new and trending styles.

These are just a few of the ways that homeowners can find ways to love a home that is not perfect. This could make it easier for homeowners to find the right home for them.
