Build A New Home -VS- Buy Existing Home

2011-04-25T15:31:00.000-07:00

Advantages Of Building A New Home:

More customized to your wants and needs.

All components of the house are new.

Most components are of the latest design.

New Homes are usually built in areas of growth rather than decline, helping with resale value.

May be more personally satisfying if you take an active role in home building process.

Advantages To Buying An Existing Home:

Generally better priced than a new build.

Immediate move in! You do not have to wait months for the home to be built.

Existing homes often come with cost savings in that they already have landscaping, window treatments, blinds, lighting, decorating, upgraded fixtures, and sometimes other bonus features.

Less hassle. You do not have to deal with the frustrations that come along with building a home. (ie: finding the perfect lot, catching construction errors, time line disappointments, etc.)

Neighborhoods that are finished out are less likely to have the noise of construction, and the shopping and dining will be developed nearby for more convenience.

Looking to build/buy a home? Let me help you find a great deal!

No matter what price range you are looking for the possibilities are endless.

5 Feng Shui Concepts To Help A Home Sell

2011-04-20T07:38:00.000-07:00

To Put the best face on a listing and appeal to buyers who follow feng shui principles, keep these tips in mind.

1. Pay special attention to the front door, which is considered the "mouth of chi" (chi is the "life force" of all things) and one of the most powerful aspects of the entire property. Abundance, blessings, opportunities, and good fortune enter through the front door is swept clean, free of cobwebs and clutter. Make sure all lighting is straight and properly hung. Better yet, light the path leading up to the front door to create an inviting atmosphere.

2. Chi energy can be flushed away wherever there are drains in the home. To keep the good forces of a home in always keep the toilet seats down and close the doors to bathrooms.

3. The master bed should be in a place of honor, power, and protection, which is farthest from and facing toward the entryway of the room. It's even better if you can place the bed diagonally in the farthest corner. Paint the room in colors that promote serenity, relaxation, and romance, such as soft tones of green, blue, and lavender.

4. The dining room symbolizes the energy and power of family togetherness. Make sure the table is clear and uncluttered during showings. Use an attractive table cloth to enhance the look of the table while softening the sharp corners.

5. The windows are considered to be the eyes of the home. Getting the windows professionally cleaned will make the home sparkle and ensure the view will be optimally displayed.

What You Can Do to Improve Your Credit

Credit scores, along with your overall income and debt, are big factors in determining whether you’ll qualify for a loan and what your loan terms will be. So, keep your credit score high by doing the following:

1. Check for and correct any errors in your credit report. Mistakes happen, and you could be paying for someone else’s poor financial management.

2. Pay down credit card bills. If possible, pay off the entire balance every month. Transferring credit card debt from one card to another could lower your score.

3. Don’t charge your credit cards to the maximum limit.

4. Wait 12 months after credit difficulties to apply for a mortgage. You’re penalized less for problems after a year.

5. Don’t order items for your new home on credit — such as appliances and furniture — until after the loan is approved. The amounts will add to your debt.

6. Don’t open new credit card accounts before applying for a mortgage. Too much available credit can lower your score.

7. Shop for mortgage rates all at once. Too many credit applications can lower your score, but multiple inquiries from the same type of lender are counted as one inquiry if submitted over a short period of time.

8. Avoid finance companies. Even if you pay the loan on time, the interest is high and it will probably be considered a sign of poor credit management.

When I am showing homes there are certain things that buyers always seem to notice and comment on, over and over again. Follow these top ten tips and make your home the best showcase it can be!

1. Clear out all clutter. Leave a very minimal amount of decor or items on furniture surfaces. Buyers want to feel like the home could be theirs. Pictures of you everywhere distract from the fantasy. Also, the less they have to see the more they see the bare product.

2. Make sure paint colors throughout the house are white or very light in shade. The more neutral the better! Seeing in neutral helps a buyer imagine the home the way they would have it.

3. Remove obstacles (unnecessary furniture or accessories) to create clear paths and an open and inviting tour area. More space is NEVER a bad thing!

4. Do a deep cleaning! A home that looks dirty tells a buyer it has not been cared for.

5. If you have loud or outspoken fabric choices in furniture or curtains, cover them or replace them. Also, its amazing what a beige couch cover can do for an outdated furniture collection. The less distractions the better!

6. Make sure landscaping is neat and that it takes advantage of the space. If you have overgrown plants that conceal the size of the yard, take them out!

7. The entryway is the first look buyers have. If your front door is sun damaged sand it down and give it a fresh coat. Then make sure entry is clean and pleasant!

8. If you are going to spend money on updates always go for counter tops and/or appliances.

9. Have your carpet professionally cleaned. This small effort can go a long way!

10. When leaving for a showing leave lights on, blinds open and a fresh scent!

There you have it! Happy Selling!
