Tax Refunds Bring Out The First Time Buyers
Many people contact me requesting how to buy their first home. The process can seem to be a daunting task if you have never been through the process. With many people getting tax refunds this time of year lends itself to funds needed to assist in your first purchase. So where does one begin? The Lender Well unless you have a large amount saved up and can pay cash for your new home then you will need to find a great lender. I am currently recommending Christy Drake at Brand Mortgage in Douglasville, Ga (770-402-5600). A good lender will evaluate your financial condition and let you know quickly if you can qualify for a mortgage. The mortgage person will determine if you need down payment assistance, if you can do an FHA loan or maybe you have a VA eligibilty. There are also many grant programs out there to assist you down payment as well so become close friends with your lender. Once the lender has gone over your information and can issue a prequalification letter you are now ready to begin your home search. An experienced real estate agent can identify you dream home and setting up showings. So now since you have talked to a lender you now know how much house you can afford and be more prepared now while viewing homes. Keep it simple. Looking at too many properties can overwhelm the first time buyer. It’s a process so maybe limit yourself to 4-6 properties in a day so that you can keep clear in your mind the properties you viewed that day. Also, go home and rank the properties of yes, no and maybe. Write down what you liked about each one and what you didn’t. This information will help your agent in his next search. The Offer Once the the right house is decided on an offer should be your next move. You should ask your agent on what he or she recommends on an offer price and the agent can give you valuable inside knowledge of recent sales and should have a good idea of the market value. The agent will also be able to ask in the offer closing costs paid by seller, inspection time, appraisal contingency and time to ask for repairs if needed among other things. The owner can say no to requests right but it’s better to ask first. The Acceptance If the offer is accepted, great! But now you will have to deposit your earnest money in the Broker’s bank account. You will also need to make loan application. Remember it could take 30-45 days to close the deal. Due Diligence You should have asked for a time in your contract to inspect the property with in the due diligence time period. It is typical that you get 10-15 days to get inspections for termites, total house, mold, radon, survey, septic tank inspection, repair estimates, connections to sewer or water connections to name a few. Be sure you are comfortable with your inspections before your time limit is up and also if you have any issues of what may be found then be sure to have your agent negotiate monetary remedies or repairs. The Appraisal Appraisals have become a huge hurdle with transactions in the past few years. With so many foreclosures hitting the market, these sales are recent comparables for appraiser which can be much lower that what your are purchasing. These low sales can affect the market value of what you are buying and your lender will not lend more than what the home appraises for. So be sure to have an appraisal contingency to protect your earnest money. The Closing Once all contingencies are met and satisfied you can prepare to close. The closing attorney should have a title search working and close to completion. The title search will verify clear title and should reveal any liens on the property that must be paid by the seller at or prior to closing. Contact you lender prior to closing to verify the amound of money to take to the closing and go over the preliminary closing statment with your agent and lender. At the closing table, be sure you have your insurance policy for one year, your certified check for the amount you have to bring to closing, your checkbook for any small overages and a photo id. Ask the closing attorney about title insurance. This is a one time policy that protects you from title disputes and well worth the money. Enjoy Your New Home That’s the purchase in a nut shell. Of course that is a simplified overview of the purchase process but with a little patience and a good team of professionals behind you, you should be able to find and close the perfect home. Hopfully with that new tax refund you just may be able to do just that! West Atlanta Real Estate Experts Chip Hurst is a local real estate agent in the West Atlanta Area.

Villa Rica’s active listings are down from last year – Villa Rica Real Estate
As we approach the half way point of the year, investors and home buyers that were once on the fence are now picking up the pace in the Atlanta real estate market and Villa Rica real estate. These buyers are taking advantage of the lowest interest rates in years coupled with a all time low price points to create a market we have not seen in a while. According to a recent Times Georgia article, Villa Rica is also experiencing a much lower occurrence of vacant homes. The city has been burdened with the foreclosure crunch with Carroll county ranking high in the state with the many abandoned homes. These homes require monitoring and can result in citations if not kept up by banks or asset managers. According to the Times Georgia report, Villa Rica has reached a milestone, but it’s not one that 10 years ago, or even two years ago, city officials would have ever welcomed as the good news they do now. For the first time in 18 months, the city can boast that it has fewer than 500 vacant homes. As of the end of June — the last numbers available — the city had 495 vacant homes. The last time the number dropped below 500 was Dec. 31, 2010, when there were 337 vacant homes. A month later the number had risen to 577 vacant homes and it has stayed above the 500 threshold ever since, even eclipsing 600 during July and August of last year.“One of the indicators that I look at each month for the city is the number of vacant homes,” City Manager Larry Wood said. “This is the first time we have been below 500 in 18 months and I like the trend.”Read more: Times-Georgian Numbers according to the MLS also confirm active listings are down about 25% from 2011. This decrease in inventory had buyers on the lookout for that great deal. Good deals are resulting in multi bud offers from home buyers and investors.

Douglasville and Villa Rica housing inventories have decreased in 2012
Local inventory levels have dropped consistently over the last 12 months in the West Atlanta region of Douglasville and Villa Rica real estate. What are some factors in this decrease? Many point to the following ideas. How does this affect buyer and seller? Sellers – What does decreased inventory mean for you? Less Competition – Fewer homes for buyer to see – More showings Seller’s not as flexible on price Buyers and agents are super savy on pricing so inflated pricing will not show as much interest Buyers – What does decreased inventory mean for you? More competition on properties – Many first time home buyers competing with investors on starter homes Foreclosures getting multiple offers and bids. Financing buyers competing with cash buyers Many investors sending offers without seeing the home and using the inspection period to decide if they want it. Have questions about the Douglasville or Villa Rica real estate market. Feel free to ask any of our real estate questions.
