Home Purchase Basics That Get You Results
So you want to buy a home for sale in Grass Valley or Nevada City. What should you do?
The first and most important step is getting pre-qualified. When you become pre-qualified, you know what you can afford - which allows you to spend your home shopping time wisely looking at properties. You get use our “What Can I Afford” calculators to get a sense of what you can afford right now.
Once you are pre-qualified - even better get pre-approved (if you find a house you really like, you need to be pre-approved to get to the top of the list as there are multiple offers sometimes again) it is time to talk with your Realtor, Gary J. Tippner, so he can find you your dream home or investment rental. After you have identified the property you want to purchase, your Realtor, Gary, will write your “offer to purchase” or purchase contract.
Before You Buy - Things to Consider
The pressure is on to buy as interest rates will rise over time (this makes a big difference in your monthly payment and therefore the price of the home a bank will approve...), so what should buyers focus on before pulling the trigger? Gary recommends that buyers focus on three things that are either expensive to fix later or unable to change without buying another home. His three primary areas to focus on are what he calls the three Ls: "Location, Lot and Layout."
When considering location, use technology like GoogleMaps before visiting a home to save both time and gas. Mapping allows you to view the property from different angles, see if the home is on a busy street, or if it offers the other requirements you need. For example, if you need a large yard where the kids or dogs can play, a tool like GoogleMaps will help you eliminate some homes immediately.
While it is relatively easy to get caught up in the aesthetics, don't do it. Overlook items you can change later like paint, carpet and other cosmetic details. Narrow your focus down to two or three homes and "all things being equal, focus on location, lot and layout."
