U.S. Revival Stands to Influence Florida Home Prices

The truism has it that real estate is the most local of assets. If you exclude California-style earthquakes, the land a home is built upon tends to stay pretty much in one place. That being the case, Cascades St. Lucie West home prices tend to reflect our local Florida conditions: when business is popping and everyone feels confident about the future, Florida home prices tend to move upward.

Even so, as the complete numbers roll in from last year’s national real estate market, anyone with a rooting interest in Florida home prices has to be cheered.

The fact is, American home prices climbed 5.9% last year – the greatest yearly gain since 2006. Calling that only a ‘sharp’ rise is like calling the Super Bowl an ‘interesting’ football game. So, even though Cascades St. Lucie West home prices reflect local conditions, that kind of jump indicates the kind of national movement that is bound to echo through every corner of the country.

The U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development also report that new national housing starts rose in 2012’s final month to an annual seasonally-adjusted rate of 954,000 (way more than the experts expected). It sounds like a big number, and it is — an increase of 12% from the revised November rate of 851,000, and a gain of 36.9% over the previous year’s 697,000!

The National Association of Homebuilders also reported a third consecutive six-year high in its builder confidence index. It’s still below the point NAHB considers builder “optimism” balances with builder “pessimism,” but moving strongly in the right direction.

Now that we’re at a point where we can look back over last year’s performance, it’s easy to look back and say “That year sure would have been a good time to buy or sell!” To me, it looks likely that this time next year, we’ll have more of the same.

If 2013 is the year you’re considering making a move, I would be genuinely delighted to put together a plan of action that fits your goals and your timetable. I hope you’ll give me a call!

The Best Ways To Begin Your New Home Search

This is a great time to start looking for a new home in preparation for a summer move. Summer is a great time to buy a home.

Let’s look at some of the reasons why now is the time to begin planning.

1. Summer is a great time to buy a home because you can see your potential new home in all of its glory. You will be able to see if the lawn is green, if the foliage is alive and in good condition etc.

2. Have a vision of what you want before you begin your house hunting. Think about what local activities your family will require, the proximity to your work, how close the home is to your needs such as groceries, daycare etc.

3. Budget. Get your financial plan together. Can you afford a Home Owners Association fee if you find the perfect home? What about any other related expenses – landscaping, pool services etc?

4. Select a real estate agent. Select a realtor you trust to help you through the entire buying process.

5. Select a mortgage company or financial institution to help you with the pre-approval needs for your new home. Your realtor will be able to recommend some reputable companies based on their daily experience in dealing with mortgage companies.

6. Get a reality check. No matter how much you have to spend, it is unlikely that you will get 100% of everything you want in a home. Select a few “must haves” and let the rest of your wants come as they may. Some people have too many “must haves” and they end up tirelessly searching for that perfect home that just doesn’t exist. The same thing goes for your champagne taste and your beer budget. If your realtor has shown you several homes that you want but have sold for more than you can spend, you may need to realize that you have to live within your means. Continuing your search for homes that you cannot afford will only delay the inevitable – finding a suitable home that you can afford!

7. Do your market research. Have your realtor do some market research for the area you are considering. This will help you to focus on what is real. Yes, there are many foreclosures and distressed properties out there but do you really want to go this route – dealing with the banks and their red tape. Then you will have to deal with the contractors once you purchase the home? Let your realtor help you find a home that is suitable for you and your family.

8. Read everything before you sign it or before proceeding with the deal. Read Everything! Enough said.

9. Don’t get discouraged. It is normal to make offers on more than one home before you have a seller accept your offer. Don’t worry, this is to be expected.

10. Don’t let the competition get the better of you. It is not uncommon for buyers to start a bidding war for a home they want. But don’t let temptation get the better of you. You do not want to end up spending thousands of dollars over your budget just because you want to “win” the deal. Remember, there are plenty of homes out there and if you miss out on this one there will be others. Guaranteed!

Your realtor will help you stay focused. So don’t hesitate to talk to them about your wants and needs. Your agent knows the game and will be able to help you get the most for your money without getting into a bidding war.

Helpful Questions To Ask The Seller Before Moving In

20 Mar

Cascades Furnished Home For Rent. Gorgeous turnkey LIMOGE builder’s model features spectacular lake views from the family room and large master bedroom. Professionally decorated with lots of built-in area in spacious family room, neutral 18″ ceramic tile in living areas.

Helpful questions to ask the Seller before moving in. Buying a new home is a very exciting time. There are many things to do and to get done and many things to remember. Sometimes you can hardly wait until the seller moves out so that you can have the house all to yourself. But wait just a minute -I would be willing to bet that the seller has loads of information that could make your life a whole lot easier once the house is yours. It is to your advantage to gather a list of important questions and talk to the seller if possible.

It is generally not considered appropriate for the buyer to just knock on the seller’s door or call them directly and start asking questions. However, talk to your realtor about helping you get your questions answered before the seller has moved and is no longer available.

Here is a list of important questions that in all of the excitement you may not have thought to ask.

1. Do you have any information about the repair history of the house

2. Do you have any warranty paperwork and owners manuals for anything that is staying with the house

3. Do you have paint colors available so that they can be matched for touch ups etc.

4. Do you have the phone numbers for any contractors you have used for repairs and landscaping on the house. You may want a contractor that is familiar with the house or perhaps you like the way the lawn looks and would like to keep the landscaping service

5. Where are the best restaurants, dry cleaners, daycare centers etc. located

6. Is there a neighborhood watch program and how do you get in touch with the organizer

7. Is there a Homeowners Association and where is the clubhouse – if applicable

8. What are the trash days and what are the requirements. Is there a trash bag limit and what do you do with bulk items

9. What is the history of the house. Things that are not disclosed on the disclosure form – such as an interesting story, the prior uses of the house, do they have a set maintenance schedule in place. Is there anything that works but is a bit quirky when operating it. This could save you hundreds of dollars in unnecessary repairs when you find out something works but is just a bit quirky

10. Don’t forget to leave the garage door openers

11. Where are the emergency cut offs, the breaker box and utility meters and any tools needed to use them. What about that wrench that is needed to operate the fireplace – is it available

12. Don’t forget to ask about the sprinkler system, landscape lighting, septic tank, basement pumps, pool pumps, well pumps, hot tubs operating systems. All of these items may be things you know how to operate or possibly not. So it is best to ask.

Hopefully, these questions will help make the transition to your new home as smooth as possible. Don’t forget to talk to your realtor, they may have additional questions that would be pertinent to ask about the home you are going to be moving into. Your realtor is there to help you in any way they can so don’t hesitate to ask if you need help with something. That is what they are there for.
