FHA Loans and the Impact of Purchasing Power and Purchasing Pools

Posted by Help Now on December 14th, 2015

FHA loan limits have increased! The FHA loan limits went from $304,500 to $312,800 in Salt Lake County. What dose this mean to buyers and sellers? If you buy in Salt Lake County with an FHA loan purchase price (typically putting down 3.5%) this makes your ​purchase power increase from last year approximately $8,000.

Something for Sellers to keep in mind: if you list your home for $325,000-$440,000 you are only making your home available to buyers that are able to put 5% down (this price range is above the 3.5% down FHA limit). However;  if you list at $325,000 you then add a plethora of buyers to your purchasing pool by including 5% down buyers AND 3.5% down buyers. This makes your home an option for many more buyers and your ability to sell that…

South Jordan homes Values: Today's Value and Next Year's Forecast

Posted by Help Now on October 9th, 2015

What not to ask when selling your home: "What is my home worth?" or "What will my home appraise for?"  This is not the right way to understand the value of your home. An appraisal is an estimate of value or to put it more simply; one person's opinion of the value of your home. As we all know that opinion is not necessarily fact, it's important to know that there is no such thing as an absolute number that your home is worth

Here's what happened to one seller of mine. The buyer's appraisal of their home came in $70,000 below list price. Yikes! After hiring 3 different appraisers on the same house all 3 came back with very different "opinions" of value. After 2 weeks of convincing the banks, the buyers, and the REALTORS, I was able to sell the home for…

Who Pays for Discount Agents' Mistakes? You Do.

Posted by Help Now on September 15th, 2014

Some agents offer to sell your home at a discounted rate or for a flat fee. Why do they do this? It's to build up their experience. We all know that the best experience comes from making mistakes. In essence they are admitting that they are likely to make mistakes while marketing your home, and they are paying you for the experience they will gain from those mistakes. These mistakes can range from limited real estate knowledge to misunderstandings about technology.

One of the most common mistakes I see is with a listings photos. The MLS is a great service and uploading good pictures of your home will ensure that a lot of people can see it. In addition to the MLS many websites import the photos and information to their website for increased exposure.…

Neighborhood Experts Sold 2 Homes BEFORE they hit the market!

Posted by Help Now on September 10th, 2013

Myan Burton, our Neighborhood Expert for Midvale/Murray, shows what being a Neighborhood Expert is all about.

Myan recently had 2 home owners in his area who wanted to sell their home. Myan told them how to clean and stage their home and make it ready to sell. How would you like to list your home for sale, clean and show it once, and then have your home sold? That is what Myan did for his sellers. Before it was even listed online, he had the buyers for their home. Neighborhood Experts are able to help sellers sell fast and ease the stress of selling.

Neighborhood Experts also know what homes are coming on the market and can get great deals for their buyers before anyone else.  Because he is the Neighborhood Expert, buyers know to come to him for…

Home Listed, Looking for Rental, DANGER!

Posted by Help Now on June 4th, 2013

There are financial dangers when making the transition from selling your home to renting. If the potential buyer of your home cancels the contract on your home after you've already signed your new rental agreement, you could be in a double-payment bind.

 

After you have a buyer make an offer on your home, they have specific deadlines to meet before the purchase is complete. This is their due diligence period where they are responsible for inspecting the home, and securing financing. Typically a real estate contract will take about 30 days to close. During these 30 days the buyer can back out of the contract based on either inspections or on financing. These dates are negotiable, but most often buyers have 21 days to back out.

 

That presents a…

Do Flyers Sell a Home?

Posted by Help Now on March 25th, 2013

Flyers used to be the way to market a home. When a home buyer drives by a house they want information. Flyers provide a quick and anonymous way to get the information about the home. The only other option people had was to call the number on the sign and talk to the agent. Most people didn't want to call the agent because they just want the information, they want to remain anonymous. This causes a problem when selling a home, there's no way to follow up with these buyers.

Because of our success selling homes, I am asked by a lot of people about my marketing strategies. I explain that our primary goal when marketing the home is to talk to every potential buyer. When interested buyers pick up flyers, it is a missed opportunity to market the home.
