Four Reasons Why Now Is The Best Time To Buy A Home

June 22, 2018 by pwadmin

If you are thinking about buying a home, ask any real estate agent when is the best time to buy it. They will tell you that there is no better time to buy a home than right now.

Every day, the real estate market is changing little by little, and if you want to move into one of a handful of Newport Coast homes for sale, looking to buy now is the best move to make. By waiting 6 months, a year, or even more than that, you the opportunities that you have now might not ever be there by that time.

Here are three reasons why you should not wait to shop for Newport Coast homes for sale:

Interest rates won’t stay low for long.

The first reason why buying a home now is a good idea is that interest rates are very competitive and attractive. While they aren’t as low as they were in the year 2016, they are still at amazing rates for 30-year mortgages and 15-year loans.

Pretty soon though, these rates may rise up again. Mortgage rates are expected to rise up to 5 percent by next year. By locking in a low interest rate on your mortgage, you will save thousands upon thousands of dollars over the duration of your loan. This is why now has never been a better time in securing that loan.

Buying a home is very competitive.

Buy a home now because waiting might make your home buying experience more competitive than before. Now that most of the country has recovered from the economic recession, more and more people are in a better position to buy new homes. With more people on the market looking for homes, the more homes will be taken off listings due to faster sales.

Because of fierce competition, homes are sold as fast as they are put up for sale, with deals made above asking prices. Competition in most real estate scenes are still affordable today and there are many deals that you can find. But as the economy continues to improve more, you will see more home buyers looking to buy the same homes as you would, and also willing to pay more for a home, too.

Homes get pricier and pricier.

It appears as if home prices are going up continuously every single month, with no signs of prices dropping or slowing down. If you purchase a home in the 2nd half of 2019, you can expect to pay up to 10 percent more than what you would pay for a home today. If you add the rising interest rates with the rise in home prices, you can expect to pay a lot more later instead of paying a reasonable price now.

Homes for sale will be fewer.

When there are too many home buyers and not enough homes for them all to buy, there will be some heavy competition with prices going up higher and higher. As time goes on, the homes for sale will be few and far between, and as interest rates go up, people are less likely to put their homes up for sale so they can continue to pay lower interest rates for their mortgage.

If you think there might not be that much homes for sale available right now, it might even get worse if you decide to wait, and prices will get even higher as available homes grarer. It it a good idea to buy now before these homes are outside your reach.

Top Things to Know Before You Buy Ocean Front Property

June 19, 2018 by pwadmin

The beach is a great backyard to have but before you spend the money to own this type of property it is important to be well-informed and follow a few of the following tips listed below.

The biggest benefit in owning a beach front home is the location but this can also be its highest negative point because of the many storms that the U.S. coastline faces every year. The view may be gorgeous during the calm season but for many months in a year it rains and you have to deal with stormy weather. These are some of the issues you need to ask a local realtor or you can check them out for yourself using a quality weather site. It may not be the determining factor but it is good to know what to expect when the season rolls around.

When you view Newport Beach homes for sale, buyers find that there are a variety of styles and designs depending on the neighborhood. Newport Beach is a community with lots of activities and events throughout the year for individuals of any age and range of hobbies and is one of the top ‘most favorite’ places in California to settle in. Your lifestyle will help dictate which community will work the best for long-term living or even if you decide to live there only part of the year. Retirees and families are not going to be interested in settling down in a ‘party’ community of singles and young professionals and vice versa. An experienced local realtor can help direct you to the areas that meet your expectations while being close to the amenities that you want.

Cost is an important factor when buying an ocean front property. Not only is the home itself expensive because of the location but the potential cost of dealing with floods, repairs from storms, fortifying or raising the home above the normal high water line, insurance, etc. These are all costs that need to be considered when you view Newport Beach homes for sale because you don’t want the home of your dreams to become an unexpected money pit. Having a house on the beach is a wonderful investment and makes every day a vacation but knowing this information upfront can better prepare the homeowner for what to expect and what to purchase within their budget. Before finalizing the sale on the home you have selected, be sure to have it assessed by a licensed inspector especially for prior flooding, electrical damage, structure issues and other problems caused by water. If there are significant repairs needed then it may be in your best interest to find a new home or work with the realtor to negotiate the asking price down to account for the work you will have to do.

Imagine waking up every day to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore and opening your back door with an endless ocean as your backyard. Gorgeous sunsets and sandy walks ensure that Newport Beach homes for sale are the perfect place to shop so go online and start looking for your next home. Work with the best realtors in the area to help answer questions, check out open houses and balance the budget with your expectations to come up with a sale that is everything you want for the future.
