While running a quick search for a friend, I ran across a few interesting listings…
There are a few deals out there that stop me in my tracks for a minute. Some catch my attention because they are priced well below the competition… and they don’t need more work that the deal is worth. Others grab me because their condition is amazing, and they are still priced competitively. Finally, there a few that reach out because they are unusual… in a good way.
Just in the last few days I have highlighted a couple of Buyer Programs that are currently available. I have also hit a couple of others in the last few weeks… there are a lot of programs out there to spur buyer attention!
If you are a buyer, especially one that doesn’t have to sell a house in order to buy, you can find all sorts of great options to help with the purchase. Let’s hit some…
A lot of (would-be)sellers are asking that question right now. Should they sell their homes to buy another that better suits their needs… or hang tight and make changes to their current home.
I understand. I really understand. As the father of a four year old and a 4 month old… I understand. As the husband of a wonderful wife that goes back and forth between those ideas, I REALLY understand.
I just got back from a meeting with a local mortgage broker, Ken Cook. He let me know about a great sounding program to remedy the situation when you want to move and can’t find that perfect house… with the perfect garage. If you can find the house, he can do a loan that folds in the improvement to the garage (or renovation of the house).
That is the goal if you are a seller.
Yesterday, in the REALTOR® Magazine Daily Briefing there was a short report on the findings of a story in Baltimore. It seems that getting a house to sell fast in even a tough market (and Baltimore is a tough market) takes the same things it does at any other time.
