Valuable information for buyers and sellers.

2009-02-01T09:40:00.001-08:00

According to Remodeling magazine's 2008-2009 "Cost vs. Value Report," even despite the challenging economy, investing in your home still pays off at resale. Based on interviews with real estate professionals throughout the country, the Remodeling report found that homeowners could expect to recoup an average of 67.3 percent of their investment in 30 different home improvement projects.
Exterior projects that boost curb appeal and kitchen remodels generally get the biggest bang for the homeowner's buck. The right remodeling project, when done well, also has the potential to make for a quicker sale and reduce negotiations with buyers over perceived shortcomings.
Some of the projects that are paying off the most nationally this year at resale include the following. The number in parentheses represents the percentage of the project's cost that is recovered.
Upscale fiber cement siding (86.7 percent)
Midrange wood deck (81.8 percent)
Midrange vinyl siding (80.7 percent)
Midrange minor kitchen remodel (79.5 percent)
Upscale vinyl window replacement (79.2 percent)
Midrange major kitchen remodel (76 percent)

Why Use A Real Estate Agent?

2009-02-01T05:53:00.001-08:00

When selling a home, a real estate agent can be an indispensable resource. Real estate agents can give you up-to-date information regarding prices, financing, terms and conditions of competing properties, and information about the housing market in general. A real estate agent will market your property to other real estate agents as well as to the public, and will know the best way to go about doing so. A real estate agent can also help you objectively evaluate buyer proposals, and then, finally, help you close the sale. In fact, a 2002 study on Home Sellers reports that the median sales price of an agent-assisted home was 27% higher than one sold "by owner".
When buying a home, having the assistance of a real estate agent can be equally as important. Real estate agents have access to resources for assisting you in your home search not available elsewhere. A real estate agent can also provide you objective information about each property, and give you advice based on years of experience. A real estate agent will help you negotiate and also steer you through the closing process to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Tell Lawmakers to Lower Taxes on Real Estate

2009-02-01T05:52:00.000-08:00

REALTORS® have a voice and can make a difference. That is why it’s so vital to send state legislators a message and let them know that lowering taxes on real estate and pursuing policies aimed at strengthening the state’s housing market is needed to boost the economy. Let them know that they need to implement a measure that rolls back the recent increases to the realty transfer fee (RTF), otherwise known as the Home Sales Tax. Tell lawmakers that excessive realty transfer fees have added to closing costs and the overall price of homes, making it harder for many to become a homeowner in New Jersey.
Call on your elected officials to create a robust economy through policies that encourage property ownership. Let them know that soaring property taxes discourage the public from buying or selling property and prices people out of their homes. Ask your legislators to seize this moment to reform New Jersey’s broken property tax system.

Send a letter to your elected officials urging them to repeal the recent increases of the realty transfer fee that took place in 2003, 2004 and 2006. Tell your state representatives to spur economic growth through true property tax reform.

What is the purpose of a Short Sale?

2008-03-06T06:53:00.000-08:00

To help the borrower that has a property in default avoid foreclosure and prevent the home from going to REO. To help the buyer purchase the property at a discounted price before it enters the REO stage.What is a Short Sale?A short sale is a negotiated settlement. This is when the lender or other lien-holders agree to accept less than the amount owed as a payoff on a property.There are two types of release the lender may offer if the short sale is approved.
Full satisfaction - The seller is totally released from the debt owed. Partial release of lien - The lender will release the lien for a discounted price to allow the property to be sold, but the borrower may be responsible for the remaining balance.
A Short Sale can be a lengthy process. The lender accepts a short payoff to save on legal fees and to reduce the turnover ratio on foreclosures.The investor or buyer saves the borrower’s credit from foreclosure and also gives the borrower another chance to become a homeowner.

Simple Steps to Ensure a Smooth Home Purchase

2008-03-06T06:49:00.000-08:00

Buying a home can be an emotional, time-consuming, and complex process. There are a few things that you can do to help make the process go as smooth as possible:
1. Check your credit.Before you apply for a home loan, regardless of your credit, it's a smart idea to obtain a copy of your credit report from the three major credit bureaus and review the information. If there are errors or things that need to be addressed, it's easier to address them before you have found a house, than after you have found a house and are trying to close your loan.
If you know that there are a few blemishes on your credit, let your lender know what they are, why they are there, and why you are a still good credit risk. Lenders look at your credit to determine how likely you will pay back the loan. If you had extenuating circumstances - like a loss of a job or medical bills - let them know so that they understand that it is not likely to happen again in the future.
2. Get approved before you buy.An approval means that a lender has reviewed your credit history, verified your assets and employment, and has approved your loan before you have found a home to purchase. As long as the home appraises for at least the purchase price, the loan should close.
Getting approved also gives you an advantage over other buyers. Your firm approval makes it easier for you to negotiate on the price of a home, than a person who is not approved or is pre-qualified.
While getting pre-qualified may sound official, it is really just getting an idea of what you can afford. Its having a person plug in a few numbers that you give them - your monthly income and your monthly debt - and getting an approximate payment calculated. From the payment, the calculator can approximate the house price range that you can afford. No information is verified. Because your assets, income or credit is not verified, a pre-qualification has little value when purchasing a home.
3. Find a great buyer's agent.Traditionally real estate agents represent the sellers in a transaction. When you are not working with a buyer's agent, they are less likely to negotiate the best price or contingencies for you.
A buyer's agent's job and fiduciary responsibility (meaning legal duty) is to you, the buyer. Before working with an agent, establish if they are a buyer's agent or a seller's agent. After spending a lot of time with a Realtor, it's natural to feel like you're a team. But if they are not negotiating for you, then they are not on your team.
