To Make Your Home More Valuable Than Foreclosure Homes And Short Sales

Friday, September 21st, 2012

If you’re looking to sell a home in the current market, you need to understand you’re competing against bank-owned and short sales homes. However, don’t get down in the dumps. There is an effective strategy to home selling in a real estate market dominated by foreclosures and short sales.

Jeremy Walsh Real Estate is here to help you successfully sell your home.

To prepare yourself to sell your home, get a good feel about the housing sales in your neighborhood.

If your house for sale is surround by bank-owned homes, you might find it a little bit challenging at first to sell because you home must compete with low-priced foreclosure homes.

It is important to understand that your home’s market value is related to distressed sales when short sales and foreclosures dominate your neighborhood.

Appraisers pay very close attention to the number of distressed sales that have closed and the ones currently for sale.

When this home selling scenario happens, it is important to keep in mind the home buyers worth of a home like yours in a market like this one. Be honest with yourself when you ask yourself would you as a buyer buy your home over a foreclosure or a short sale home.

Why should a buyer’s lender appraise your home for more than the foreclosure or short sale homes in the neighborhood?

How much more is your home worth compared to these homes?

When you’re honest with yourself about the answers to these questions, your home is not worth that much more than a foreclosure home, without or without upgrades because appraisers don’t provide a huge allowance for upgrades in a down economy.

So your best best is to give buyers a good deal. Make sure your home is in top shape to make sure your home is the best buy when compared with an equally priced range distressed home sale.

Remember, a home buyer wants to purchase a home that doesn’t need too many home improvements done to it. If your home doesn’t need any work, a home buyer is more likely to buy it rather than a cheaper property with many home improvement needs.

If you have any questions on buying a home or selling a home, please contact Jeremy Walsh Real Estate by calling 443-610-5722 or click here today!

Tips For Maryland First Time Homebuyers: How To Buy An Affordable Home

Friday, September 7th, 2012

Buying a home is a very big part of the American dream. A home is the foundation of a well off life because it provides financial and emotional security.

To gain this valuable possession you need to first qualify for the home. To successfully qualify for a home, your individual financial profile should be in good standings and your debt-to-income ratio should be well balanced.

A good financial profile provides a bank the information needed to ensure your housing expenses and debt payments don’t take up the majority of your income.

When you are a homeowner, the last thing you want to do is set yourself up to be financial uncomfortable after buying your home.

You can buy a quality home at an affordable price by comparing your proposed monthly payment (PITI) with your total household gross monthly income.

As for your debt-to-income ratio, you can estimate your monthly housing payments by comparing your gross (pre-tax) monthly earnings and your monthly debt requirements. Your monthly debt expenses can include credit cards, car loans, student loans, or consumer loans, just to name a few.

Here at Jeremy Walsh Real Estate, we are here to put you in the home of your dreams at a price you can comfortably afford. If you’re a Maryland First-time homebuyer, we will ensure that your mortgage and family will be in good hands.

Buying A Foreclosure Home: What should you know about Foreclosure Trash Outs?

Friday, August 24th, 2012

The last thing you want to be is a homeowner on the verge of foreclosure. A homeowner’s worst nightmare is coming home and finding your home emptied and the locks changed.

You can prevent this by carefully picking out a high quality home at an affordable price.

Foreclosure trash outs are happening all over America. These foreclosure trash-outs are often conducted by junk removal contracts that are hired by banks to clean out a foreclosure home.

Recently, trash-out crews have been targeting the wrong homes because cash buyers bought foreclosed homes but these homes were never removed from the trash-out list.

When you become a homeowner of a foreclosed home, make sure you post a notice that your home is no longer abandoned.

If your home appears abandoned, a foreclosure trash-out company could take out everything in your home and lock you out.

You can protect yourself as a foreclosure homebuyer by making sure contractors follow the anti-lockout law in your community. This law makes it mandatory for a contractor to provide an eviction order prior to entering a home and conducting a foreclosure trash-out.

A home mortgage company has the right to secure a home property if the company believes it’s abandoned but the company never has the right to take out property unless a eviction order was given in advance.

It is important to know every state has its own rules about trash-outs. However, all states acknowledge that a trash-out is illegal if a home property is not abandoned. The only exception to this rule occurs when there is a court order.
