Home Buying for the Long Haul Pays Off - BusinessWeek

Rosa Pace Ut Realtor Despite the slump, housing remains a good long-term investment—in the right markets. The era of get-rich-quick real estate is dead. The era of increasing long-term wealth in your home is back. Historical data from the National Association of Realtors (and adjusted for inflation by Businessweek.com) show that in 18 of the 25 largest metro areas in the U.S., the value of homes purchased in 1990 had increased by 2010, often by double digits.

September 2010 ZipRealty News

The answer to this question may be the key to the sale of your home. Price it right and you maximize the return on your investment and have a quicker, smoother sale. Price it incorrectly and you will most likely leave some of your money on the table or risk losing potential buyers.

If you're selling

Don't say: "You're offering how much? Forget you!"

Instead: When bidders lob low-balls at you, thank them for their interest and ask that they come back with earnest offers. "If you become offended enraged, or unreasonable, you've blown any chance at negotiation." says Warwick R.I. real estate agent Ron Phipps. These days many buyers are just testing ou to see how big a discount they can get. Point the bidder to comparable recent sales that support your list price. ( Received several super-low offers? Check the comps to make sure your price isn't too high.)

The long and the short of Short Sales

What's great about Short Sales? We're glad you asked! In a nutshell, Short Sales make it possible for home buyers to get a great deal on their next home, and for homeowners who are unable to make their mortgage payments to avoid foreclosure.


Here's how it works:
A short sale occurs when a homeowner sells their home for less than (short of) what they still owe on their mortgage, and the bank agrees to accept the proceeds from the sale as payment in full of the loan balance.

"Mortgage rates sink to record low
National average for a 30-year fixed loan dips to 4.69 percent
BREAKING NEWS

updated 52 minutes ago


Mortgage Rates fell this week to the lowest level on record, giving consumers added incentive to lock in low payments on home purchases and refinancings.

Mortgage Company Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average rate for 30-year fixed loans sank to 4.69 percent, from 4.75 percent last week.

That's the lowest since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1971. The previous record of 4.71 percent was set in December. Rates for 15-year and five-year mortgages also hit lows."

The offer you make this week could pleasantly surprise you and make your dreams come true.

Dealing with a Low Appraisal

By Victoria Hunter


After months of readying the house for the market and negotiating back-and-forth with buyers on the sales price, sellers are shocked if the appraisal of their home comes in below the offered price. Sadly, as the market rebounds, and home prices begin to inch up, low appraisals will be happening all too frequently. So, how can you avoid a low appraisal and what are your options if you get one?...
