Bidding Wars! Over-Asking Prices! Best and Final Offers! No Mortgage Contingency! Price Reductions! Foreclosures! What does it take to get a house? Ask The Baldwin Dream Team @ RE/MAX Village Square.
While it was never easy to buy a home, today it seems positively frightening -- yes, frightening. Let's get that on the table right now and talk about it.
When my parents bought their home in 1956, they struggled to come up with the downpayment, just as many people do today. But houses were plentiful, then, and there was no question, once finances were sorted out, about getting the house.
While over the last decade so many people discovered the delights of Montclair, NJ and neighboring towns that multiple offers on a property and over-asking prices. today's more mixed market is making people even more uncomfortable.
People ask us every day...should we wait 'til prices drop more? Is this a good deal? Should I focus on foreclosures? Is this or that neighborhood holding steady? How come not all towns are experiencing price declines? What, exactly, do the school rankings mean? And on and on...
It's my job to guide you -- as it is my team members -- through the purchasing maze. We'll ask you to list your housing priorities -- size, style, towns of interest, school preferences, etc. We'll look at as many homes as it takes you to decide to make an offer. The national average, by the way, is 9 homes before a purchase, but in a bidding-war atmosphere, it could take you longer.
We'll will take the time to go through each and every step of the buying process. There are no dumb questions!
