Picking a Project or Picking a Deal
Why buy a fixer-upper when there are so many things to buy out there today!? Properties needing renovations are up to 20 percent cheaper than their "modern" counterparts. Two years ago people paying the 15-20 percent less barely had enough to cover the rebuildig of a "vintage" home.
With this economy contractors may be charging less and cutting deals for home improvements. So if you have the time and money to figure out how much you are saving, it might be worth your while.
Find a Troubled Asset
Foreclosures and short sales will soon be the majority of properties on the market, and first time home buyers are the most important purchasers out there. Andee Hausman is a Certified Distressed Property Expert. She and her team hold this designation and are perfect in helping first time home buyers purchase in this market. They are time consuming deals, but who better to have than someone who is trained in this area to get it done faster for you! We also have the technology to find them as soon as they go on the market. You can only present one offer to the bank regarding a short sale, so it is better to have a team behind you who gets that information first.
Find a Motivated Seller
Right now there are sellers listing their homes for values from the 2005-2006 market. Andee and her team make sure they carry out their fiduciary duty to their buyers to find the best priced homes. The Haus Team does the research to make sure that the home you are shown has a price that matches its comparable sales. There is no reason to waste your time looking at homes of unrealistic sellers.
