LOWER INTEREST RATES/ OPEN HOUSES THIS WEEKEND

Home buyers should be able to take advantage of lower rates and increasing inventory. Interested in what you can afford?

The Bullet Points are:
Home Interest rates are now to 6.94% this week following some minor but still encouraging signs that inflation is easing.
The housing inventory continues to rise, although it remains well below pre-pandemic levels.
The higher interest rate slowed the existing and new home sales in April.

Homebuyers who've been holding out this spring may have some late-season opportunities as interest rates decline and inventory in many areas continues to climb.

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped below 7% this week, to an average 6.94% this week.

The 15-year fixed-rate also dipped, averaging 6.24% this week.

Myths About Home Inspections

1: It’s fine to skip a home inspection in order to put in a more competitive offer.
Skipping an inspection is never a viable option when it comes to purchasing a home. Your inspector has the expertise to assess thousands of components and identify issues ranging from small to serious. The inspector will be able to point out simple fixes like loose doorknobs, but also hazardous or fatal conditions, like carbon monoxide leaks. Even if no major issues are found in a home, your inspector has a vital role. They will indicate maintenance issues and estimate appliance lifespans so you can plan.

The good news is that NPI inspectors are ready to perform your inspection during any phase of the buying process, whether that be before you make the offer or after you’ve already closed. You can still get the information you need for financial planning, and most importantly, you can make sure your home is safe.

Myth 2: A home inspection is the same as an appraisal.
A home inspector identifies safety issues and maintenance tasks while an appraiser determines the actual market value of your new home. While both technically inspect the home, your home inspector is checking major systems for possible repairs, and your appraiser is documenting amenities, floorplans, and market trends. Your home inspector will never assign a monetary value, but your appraiser’s end goal is to assign a reasonably accurate monetary value for your new home.

Myth 3: Your inspector can advise you on whether or not to buy the house.
Your inspector is an unbiased third party who is there to report on the condition of the home and to educate you on any potential issues. Your inspector will never tell you whether or not to purchase a home. This is actually ideal! You want your agent there during the inspection to provide just the facts so that you can weigh your options and help resolve issues..

CONCLUSION: Home inspecitons are extremely important as it discovers potential issues, ensuring informed buying decisions, A buyers real estate agent helps by recommending reliable inspectors, negotiating repairs or price adjustments, and guiding clients through the findings to make confident decisions.

ARE YOU AN EMPTY NESTER?

Are you an Empty Nester who needs a home for the future? Is it time to downsize or to move into another home more suitable for your glorious retirement years?

Like thousands of home sellers, you may discover that after years of non-stop child traffic in and out of your doors, toys on the floor, music floating throughout, you can suddenly hear a pin drop over the quiet hum of the refrigerator. Your rooms are filled with pictures and memories of this wonderful time in your life, but there are many empty rooms gathering dust now that your children have moved on. The freer years ahead are exciting ones to look forward to, and it may be time for you to move as well.



If you find yourself in this situation, you're in vast and good company. What this means is that there are many wonderful opportunities for you to create this new chapter in your life . . . if you know what it takes to get the most out of the equity you've built up in your current home.



To help you understand the issues involved in making such a move, and how to avoid the most common and costly mistakes most Empty Nesters make, we've prepared this special report to help you identify and plan for the move ahead.





How to Sell the Place You Call Home



Selling your home is one of the most important steps in your life. This 9 step system with the first 4 steps that will give you the tools you need to maximize your profits, maintain control, and reduce the stress that comes with the home selling process:

1. Know why you're selling, and keep it to yourself. The reasons behind your decision to sell affect everything from setting a price to deciding how much time and money to invest in getting your home ready for sale. What's more important to you: the money you walk away with, the length of time your property is on the market or both. Different goals will dictate different strategies.



2. However, don't reveal your motivation to anyone else or they may use it against you at the negotiating table. When asked, simply say that your housing needs have changed.



3. Do your homework before setting a price Settling on an offering price shouldn't be done lightly. Once you've set your price, you've told buyers the absolute maximum they have to pay for your home, but pricing too high is as dangerous as pricing too low. Remember that the average buyer is looking at 15-20 homes at the same time they are considering yours. This means that they have a basis for comparison, and if your home doesn't compare favorably with others in the price range you've set, you won't be taken seriously by prospects. As a result, your home may sit on the market for a long time and knowing this, new buyers will think there must be something wrong with your home. What is the Value of My Home

4. Find Out What Other Homes are Selling . Find out what comparable homes in your own and similar neighborhoods have sold for in the past 6-12 months, and research what current homes are listed for. That's certainly how prospective buyers will assess the worth of your home.



Conclusion:

Do You Need Title Insurance?

Yes, you need title insurance if you own real estate.

It provides protection against losses that occur when the title to a property in California is not free and clear of defects.

Examples include an undiscovered lien (such as mechanic lien) or easement against the property. Most lenders require title insurance as a condition for getting your loan.

Normally, there are two types of policies available when you are purchasing a property – a lender’s policy and an owner’s policy. The lender’s policy will protect the lender’s security interest in the property.

An owner’s policy will protect you, the owner, from claims by others against your property.

You may believe that as long as the lender has a title insurance policy, you do not also need to buy one. You may also believe that if the former owner of the home had a policy, you are protected.

Neither of those statements is true – the lender’s policy protects the lender, and the former owner’s policy protects the former owner. You need your own policy to protect your legal title to the property.

The policy will cover you for as long as you own the property. Your policy will only cover the value of the property.

If you choose to buy title insurance, you should obtain the policy for the full purchase price of the property. Who pays for the title insurance depends on where you live – it’s not set by law, but instead is a matter of local custom.

It may be paid by the buyer or seller, or be split between the parties. In general, in northern California the buyer pays for title insurance, or in some cases it is split between the parties. In southern California, the seller normally pays the premium. The parties are free to negotiate something different than what local custom dictates.

Before you purchase title insurance, it’s important that you understand any exclusions contained in the policy. For example, if you are aware of a lien or claim against the property and your insurance company is not, you may not have coverage for that lien or claim.

You also may not have coverage for eminent domain issues. Before you choose to purchase or refinance the property, you need to understand what your title insurance will cover.

Once you have the policy, We hope that you never need to use it!
