The 5 Best Home Buying Tips
BUYERS SECRET #1
Scout The Neighbourhood
Having good neighbours is almost as important as finding the perfect home. The two become hand and hand. You can drive by the house during different hours to see what the atmosphere is like in the neighbourhood. Also search if there are schools near by, this will greatly affect the value of your home.
BUYERS SECRET #2
Respectful Bidding
Your opening bid should be based on two things: what you can afford and what you really believe the property is worth. It should be fair and reasonable, something that won’t totally offend the seller. Although a lot of people suggest going lower for their first bid, it should based on what the market is doing at the time. Sellers are more likely to consider a bid that is an oddball number. When you get more precise with your numbers, the sellers will think you’ve given the offer careful thought.
BUYERS SECRET #3
Inspect Your House
It is recommended to hire a home inspector before purchasing any new home. A home inspector’s sole responsibility is to provide you with information so that you can make a decision as to whether or not to buy. If any issues are found within the home, you could potentially use it to negotiate the price of the home.
BUYERS SECRET #4
Bigger Isn’t Always Better
The largest house may only attract a small percentage of individuals. If you ever would want to re-sell, it’s important to never limit potential buyers. Your home will likely only go up in value as much as the other houses around you. Your appreciation may be limited if this is the case.
BUYERS SECRET #5
Don’t Try To Time The Market
Trying to guess the housing market is impossible. Don’t stress with figure out when is the best time to buy. The best time to buy is when you find your perfect house and you can afford it. Real estate is periodic, it goes up then down, then back up again. If you attempt to wait for the “perfect” time you are more likely to miss out.
