Financing Info
Most people need financing to purchase a home. Lending standards have definitely tightened up these past few months, so now more than ever, it’s important to speak to a lender you know and trust prior to making an appointment to go out and see homes. Establishing your Financial Strength (getting pre-qualified) is an important aspect that should be begin before you find a great home to buy.
If you need a recommendation, we are more than happy to provide you with names we know and trust. And don’t assume you’re locked out of the market as there are many good programs still out there. You may be surprised at how much you can comfortably afford to purchase. You will feel so much better knowing ahead of time what you can and can’t afford.
Sellers
Sellers, the frenzy of 2005 is long gone. It’s time to get Practical. Median prices have declined. Sales activity is still good with “market-driven” priced homes. Activity is definitely down with homes that are not priced well. We have more homes on the market now than we’ve seen since 1999. With such high inventory, professional Market Specialists can convert inventory to the “sold” category. At Cal Home Research, our innovative marketing skills have been key to our success. We are Technology Certified to market your home on the World Wide Web. This means that not only is your Home placed on the Multiple Listing Service, but can be seen on over 32 Internet Portals! We also have a LIVE Real Estate Segment on San Francisco’s very own KRON 4 Television. This LIVE broadcast goes out to over 11 counties in Northern California. We use this forum to connect Real Solutions to Real People.
If you’re serious about selling, you need to put aside pride and emotion. To sell your home, you need to be at the absolute best value, period. Your property’s number of showings is the indicator of market acceptance on price. No showings mean your price is too high. A few showings mean your price is reasonable enough for buyers to look. Regular showings and no offers means your price is still too high. Lots of showings and one or more offers means you’re right on the money. It’s that simple.
A serious seller is prepared to lower the price as needed, over time, to achieve the desired result, a sale. Non serious sellers sit indefinitely on their properties waiting for mythical buyers with loads of cash who almost never materialize.
