Are You Familiar With The Home Buying Process?

Hello Everyone This is Brad Hammarlund with Exit Homevets Realty in Killeen TX. I work with people looking to sale their homes and also with people who are looking for homes for sale in Killeen TX, homes for sale in Copperas Cove TX, homes for sale in Harker Heights TX.

Have you every wanted to purchase a home, or has it been a while since you the last time you bought a house? Are you familiar with the home buying process, the process for buying a foreclosed property, or short sale process? You can save money purchasing a foreclosed home or a short sale but there are some draw backs to them, They normally take a lot longer to close. A normal sale can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 45 days to close, if you want to buy a foreclosure it normally takes anywhere from 60 to 90 days to close, and short sales take anywhere from 60 days to 6 months. If you have the time you can save a good bit of money.  Another draw back to buying a distressed property is the home owners are either a bank or government agency so they will not cover all the closing costs and they will not guarantee or warranty the home. If it is a short sale the owners normally are in trouble and can not afford to help with closing costs or to have the house repaired if there is anything needing fixed. If you would like more information about the home buying process I give a free no obligation first time home buyers consultation where I explain the different types of purchases, the different types of loans available, and I explain every step in the transaction.Please call or text me at (254) 291-0630

 Well I am official now! I have been working with military buyers and sellers since I received my Texas Real Estate License but a little while ago they came out with a new certification and I just finished it today. So I am now officially a Certified Military Residential Specialist.  Just to make you aware that I do work with a lot of military and I have extensive knowledge of VA loans and the lenders to refer you to for the best home buying experience. I take pride in the fact that I can help make a difference to the people fighting for our freedom. Working with Military home buyers gives me a chance to honor the men and women of the United States Military and their families. The soldiers are often targeted by people who try to take advantage of military. Many soldiers are young, financially inexperienced, and transient, unaware of dishonest businesses. I like to think of myself as watchdog that stands between the warriors and the wolves. I work with a team of individuals that are like myself and look out for the best interest of our men and women in the service, from lenders, to title companies, to inspectors. Feel safe in knowing that we take pride in what we do and always show honor, loyalty, integrity, respect, and excellence in all we do.

Thinking about buying a Foreclosed property?

Hello Everyone This is Brad Hammarlund with Exit Homevets Realty in Killeen TX. I work with people looking to sale their homes and also with people who are looking for homes for sale in Killeen TX, homes for sale in Copperas Cove TX, homes for sale in Harker Heights TX.

Are you wanting to save money on your home purchase? Thinking about buying a distressed property? What are the risks?
I work with a lot of clients who are interested in buying foreclosed homes but there are a few things to consider when dealing with a foreclosed property. There will be more out of pocket costs when you are buying a foreclosure. The banks normally will not pay for title insurance or pay for a survey for the property, just these two things can cost you an additional $1500 or more, but if you are saving $20,000 it is definitely worth it.  The main thing to think about is the home is being sold as is, there are no guarantees and no warranties. Before you decide to purchase a home you should always have it inspected this is even more important when buying a foreclosed home.  The seller of the home is a bank or a government agency and they have no idea of what, if anything is wrong with it. A home inspection will give you some idea of what you are getting yourself into. I don't want you get get me wrong even when having a home inspection they can not find everything, the inspectors can not see into the walls or underneath flooring but they are trained to look for things that can present a problem. Some foreclosed homes are great homes with nothing wrong with them and you can get a real deal on a great house but then there are some that basically need completely rebuilt. If you are willing to do a little work on the house then you can end up with a great home that you were able to buy at a great price.

The COST of a Home: Last Year, This Year & Next Year

Hello Everyone This is Brad Hammarlund with Exit Homevets Realty in Killeen TX. I work with people looking to sale their homes and also with people who are looking for homes for sale in Killeen TX, homes for sale in Copperas Cove TX, homes for sale in Harker Heights TX.

 This is great article I came across on the KMC Blog. This basically shows the price of a house last year and what it would cost with the interest rates from last year. Then the price of the house due to appreciation for this year and the payment with current interest rates, and the projected cost of the house next year price increase due to appreciation and what the payment should be with the projected interest rate for next year.

The cost of a home is determined mainly by two components: price and mortgage rate. Today, we want to show how the monthly cost of purchasing a median priced home has changed over the last twelve months and how it might change over the next twelve months. For the first two examples, we will be using the National Association of Realtors’ (NAR) Existing Home Sales Report to establish median price and Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey to establish mortgage rate. We also assumed a 20% down payment in all examples.

LAST YEAR

The median priced home in the country was selling for $187,800. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate was at 3.5%. Here is what it would cost to buy a home last year:

TODAY

The median priced home in the country is selling for $213,500. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate is at 4.5%. Here is what it would cost a purchaser to buy a home today:

The monthly cost increased by: $190.78!

NEXT YEAR

Projecting into the future in real estate can be rather tricky. To establish future pricing, we depended on the over 100 housing experts surveyed for the Home Price Expectation Survey who called for an approximate appreciation rate of 5% over the next twelve months. For the interest rate, we took the average of the projections from the Mortgage Bankers’ Association, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Here is what these experts project will be the approximate cost of a home a year from now:

The monthly cost will increase by about: $97.32!

Bottom Line

 
From a financial perspective, why wait if you are thinking about buying?

The Importance Of Representation In A Real Estate Transaction

Hello Everyone This is Brad Hammarlund with Exit Homevets Realty in Killeen TX. I work with people looking to sale their homes and also with people who are looking for homes for sale in Killeen TX, homes for sale in Copperas Cove TX, homes for sale in Harker Heights TX.

 Most people do not know the importance of representation. When you are represented then the Realtor® has to put your interest before anyone else including their own. The reason why you work with a Realtor® is to have someone represent you in a real estate transaction. Did you know that in the state of Texas all real estate agents represent the seller. As a buyer you are not represented until you sign a buyers representation agreement with a Realtor®. The state will let a agent work with both parties as an intermediary but you will have to sign a form saying that you are allowing them to work with both parties.  This is very confusing for most people and they do not know that the agent is not looking out for their best interest. Because of this as soon as you start talking with an real estate agent they are required to give you a state form, Information About Brokerage Services. The agent is not required to explain it to you but just to give it to you. It is very important who you have represent you. You need someone who is going to explain everything to you. The real estate market is constantly changing. You need someone keeps up with your market. This way you are not overpaying for a property.

New Homes -vs- Preowned Homes How to sell your home located near new construction.

Hello Everyone This is Brad Hammarlund with Exit Homevets Realty in Killeen TX. I work with people looking to sale their homes and also with people who are looking for homes for sale in Killeen TX, homes for sale in Copperas Cove TX, homes for sale in Harker Heights TX.

With more and more new homes being built in the area how is that effecting the price of your current home? This is something that is good for your property value but bad when you want to sell. With the higher price of the new homes being built this is driving up the price of existing homes in the area. The only problem is how do you persuade a buyer to chose your existing home over a brand new home? The best answer is to price it competitively. You want to do improvement to your property because as new technology and comfort are being added to new homes your home becomes dated and is no longer as appealing as a new home.

Just because new homes are selling for high prices does not mean that your home will. You need to make sure that your home is priced right so you don't make other homes look like better values. Offer a home warranty with the sale of your home this will give the buyer peace of mind, and remember the builders give warranties so you want to offer it rather than wait for a contract and try and negotiate it.

If your home is close to or located in a subdivision where there is still construction going on the new homes will out shine your home 90% of the time. It is going to be hard to sell your home it will take time. The people who view your home will also view the new homes in the area to make sure they are making the best choice for them. The builders will offer to pay closing costs, home warranty, give promotional upgrades, and offer other incentives to sell their homes, so you need to be ready to do the same.

If you are in this situation and would like more information on what steps to take to get your home sold call me (254) 291-0630 I can help you!!!!Tthrough properly marketing your home and with the correct merchandising we can make you home stand out compared to the new homes.

Hello everyone this is Brad Hammarlund with Exit Homevets Realty in Killeen, TX. I work with both home sellers and buyers looking for home for sale in Killeen TX, homes for sale in Copperas Cove TX, homes for sale in Harker Heights TX, homes for sale in Nolanville TX.

With the temperature on the rise there are a few things to think about, Severe Weather, Gardens, and spring projects.
With the chance for severe weather you should always make sure you have a home emergency kit ready just in case. Things I like to keep in my kit are, First aid kit, flash light, bottled water, snacks, dry food, batteries, diapers, formula, wet wipes, water filter, camp stove, important papers, spare clothes, and something for self defense.
Now is the time to make sure you gardens are planted, fertilized, and  a set watering schedule.
Also before it gets to hot now is the time for spring projects. whether it is organizing the garage or shed, building a deck, gazebo, or a whole backyard retreat. Now is the time to get started before the temperature becomes unbearable.
Always remember to stay hydrated and make sure you have a detailed plan before you get started, this will make sure that you stay on track and that you will avoid delays trying to figure out what your next step is.
