Decide What You Want to Buy: First, decide where you want to live. Urban The big city. Sure the prices are generally higher, but you can walk to a restaurant, maybe even to work. You’ll also have the widest range of housing options.... Suburban -Newer schools, newer shopping centers, bigger yards, bigger homes, no wonder so many people love the suburbs. But if you work in the city, be prepared for lots of rush hour traffic. It’s a packaged deal. Smaller Cities and Towns There are many wonderful self-contained communities, and compared to the big city, you can save a bundle. Rural -If you like the idea of owning land, how about a few acres all to yourself? Seclusion is not for everybody, but for some, it’s heaven. Next, decide what type of home you want. By now, you probably have a good idea of what type of home is right for you. To familiarize you with the terminology, here’s a quick overview: Single-family detached As the name implies, the home is not attached to the home next door. Styles range from a single-story suburban bungalow, to a three-story Victorian. Semi-detached or linked Two houses that share a common wall. Typically less money than a fully detached home. Duplex or Triplex A two-storey or three-storey home, with each floor belonging to a separate family. Separate entrances are most common. Town house Also known as terrace or row housing. Several homes with a common style joined in a row. They usually share walls on both sides. May come with a monthly maintenance fee. Condo An upscale version of an apartment. Usually located in high-rise buildings with access to common elements. Maintenance fees usually apply. Condos also make a great first home purchase because they’re often thousands of dollars less than a detached home. How Condos are owned You’ll own 100% of your unit, and a share of the common areas. Common areas include the necessary plumbing, electrical systems, hallways and elevators. They may also include lots of fun stuff like a private gym or party room. Condo fees Membership has its privileges, and it costs. On top of your mortgage and property taxes, condo owners also pay a monthly fee to operate and maintain the common areas. Be sure to look into condo fees, and how well they’re managed, before signing anything. Contact me today for your consultation and Mortgage questions at www.elenashoikhedbrod.com

Decide when to sell...

In real estate, timing is not everything but it does influence your home’s selling price. Let’s see if we can make timing work for you. Status report. Is it a buyer’s or a seller’s market? When there are lots of people looking for homes but not many for sale, this is called a ‘seller’s market’, because the seller has something everybody wants. When there are more homes for sale and not many people buying them, this is called a buyer’s market because buyers have more power o...f choice. A REALTOR is the best person to consult about this. How quickly do you need to sell your home? In a seller’s market, top price and a fast sale can go hand-in-hand. In a buyer’s market, more sellers are competing for your potential buyer. If you have to sell right now, you may wish to lower your asking price a bit to speed up the sale. REALTORS are masters at figuring the price-to-listing ratio and know how to attract offers without going unnecessarily low. Seasonality. Do home sales get frostbite? It’s true. Winter sales tend to be slower, and Spring sales are more brisk. Regardless, there are always people looking to buy, and seasonality is only one of many factors to consider. If you’re also buying a home. In this case, you don’t really have to worry about playing the market. If you sell your existing home for a ‘low’ price, you’re probably also buying at a low price. If you are upgrading to a larger home, this actually works to your advantage. Imagine when your bigger home is on the upswing. If you’re downsizing from a bigger home to a smaller home or a condo, you need to pay a bit more attention to the market. Buy first or sell first? The eternal question. Many people are able to time their sale and purchase so they happen on the same closing date. Buyers can make their offer conditional on the sale of their existing home, to make sure they’re not left paying for the upkeep of two homes. When selling, you can try to extend the closing period to give yourself more time to find your next home. REALTORS are very skilled at this sort of negotiation, and can make your transitional life a lot easier. If you find your new dream home before you’ve even started to sell your old one. Talk to your existing mortgage lender. You may be able to arrange Bridge Financing. This is when your lender (the bank) is confident your existing home will sell quickly, and they agree to lend you the down payment for your new dream home.
