| Home Buying Tips For Temecula CA Valley Real Estate Part 1
This article shows an example of a buyer trying to take advantage of high supply and pricing deals but losing common sense and eventually making a very bad decision. How often have you seen people get caught up in major sales and buy something they don't even want because it was such a great deal? This is happening a lot right now and it gets worse if a person waits three years and finds they can't afford to sell the home at that time. Then they continue to be stuck in a home that they do not like when the could of really enjoyed and been proud of a home they purchased in the first place. Looking for a diamond in the rough is great. But make sure to keep your goals in mind when seeing all the Temecula and Murrieta home listings and price drops. Don't be shocked if a seller doesn't come down in price. Just make sure your Murrieta or Temecula real estate broker does the necessary property research and helps you to discern a fair or even aggressive price for that ideal house. Buying a Murrieta, Temecula, or Menfiee home in a buyer's market can be very challenging for the same reasons people assume it will be easy. Don't forget that the goal is to get the best home that meets your goals and is the best investment for your family. What are some buyer market benefits? Large number of home listings Ability to negotiate price and terms Significant competition between sellers No matter how you look at it those bullet points are a good for you, right? Believe it or not this can cause hesitation and consternation for buyers. How so? Let's say you find the most fantastic Murrieta home in a superb neighborhood on a beautiful cul-de-sac street and with tones. You love the floorplan but the owners won't move on price and two streets away is the same floor plan, but not as nice of a house in terms of lot or upgrades, and the street isn't a cul-de-sac. However, the the price is 30k less. And, even better is another model match with no upgrades, stained carpet, and priced a further 15k less. You would like to get the first home but the home seller's won't come down in price. Honestly, it looks to be priced accurately when considering all aspects. In fact, since it is a buyer's market, it is reduced in price more then it has been in years. But this is a buyer's market and why should you have to pay 45k more?! With just an additional 10-15k, you think you could rehab the lowest priced house and still have a sharp house. So, after a lot of thinking you offer on the lower priced model match and plan to fix it up. And, by paying 45k less and spending 10k, you save 35k in theory for the same neighborhood and house just a few streets away, right? While this seems like a smart idea once you're in the house you will have a hard cash price to make repairs versus having an increased loan payment. So you get a 2nd mortgage or use your savings and put 10k into the home and get all new carpet, paint, and some tile in the bathrooms. That's it and you have used all that money. You also live there for an average of 3-5 years and have ��elbow grease" projects every single weekend. While initially fun, they get old fast and you eventually become tired of cars buzzing through the street and constantly dream you had purchased on a cul-de-sac. Due to all this, you don't invite buddies and your family over because you want to get it all ��fixed" and so you aren't enjoying the home as much as you anticipated. This sounds worst case but I have seen this several times this year already. The sad part is 35k (45K - 10K) more would only cost an average of $210 more a month. And, over 5 years that will equal the 10k you put into the bargain houseproperty and you have had to work every darn weekend, have not enjoyed your investment, and never even had a house party! Also, no matter what you put into the home, you can never create a home with the nicer lot and incredible cul-de-sac location. Those could be your kids playing neighborhood ball safely. So, after 3 years of worrying each time your kids go out to play you decide to sell. However, the market is tough and people are picky, only looking for that perfect, upgraded, cul-de-sac home you passed on! So keep this all in mind and rewind the 3 years of hard work and make sure you keep this mind while you shop today!
