Buying A House? You Need A Checklist. (Part 3)

In this series we are looking at creating a checklist of things you need to consider when purchasing a house.  Feel free to revisit Part 1 or Part 2.

Choosing a Good Location

Neighborhoods and locations that have proven to be more stable in terms of real estate value during the recent downturn in the market can provide you with a good indicator of where to purchase your next home or investment property.  If you are looking at investing, location is not a factor you can overlook.  You need to purchase a home that will provide you with a healthy return or at least maintain its market value thru the inevitable rough patches.

The right location for your next home or investment property may be the single most important factor when purchasing a home.

Question to the Reader:  Has location been important to you in past home buying decisions?

April Home Sales In Albuquerque Are Highest Since 2007

Single family detached home sales for the month or April improved 20.7% over the year prior leading to the highest April sales since 2007!  Last month also saw the most homes put into pending since May 2006 rising 23.6% from April 2012.

April brought a %14.38% increase from the year prior in new listings entering the market, leading to the highest such number since June of 2010.  All this positive movement will bring an obvious downside with it in the form of more competition on the market, driving prices down 6.3% from April 2012. 

“The April sales numbers are a good start to the summer months which have traditionally been the highest sales months of the year,” said Julie Greenwood, 2013 President of the Greater Albuquerque Association of REALTORS®.  “Affordability has never been better, with nearly 80% of homes selling for $249,000 and under” she added.

Buying A House? You Need A Checklist. (Part 2)

In this series we are looking at creating a checklist of things you need to consider when purchasing a house.  Feel free to revisit Part 1.

Outlining Your Needs and Considering the Current Market

As an investor your choice of property will likely be focused on netting the best return on your investment as possible.  If you are in the market for a primary or residential property for yourself and your family then you will need to make a list of important factors for you, such as the local neighborhood, square footage, bedrooms, baths, garage spaces, yard, etc.  Only look at homes that fit this criteria to save yourself time.

Regardless of the purpose of your next real estate purchase it is in your best interest to work with a professional real estate broker.  They will ensure you get the best deal on the market that will meet your needs.
