Looking To Sell? Tucson Realtors Say Now Is A Great Time

September 12, 2014

If you’ve considered selling your home but were going to wait awhile until you had more equity or you felt there would be less competition, Tucson realtors want you to know that you really shouldn’t wait any longer. The current amount of competition on the real estate market is about as low as its going to be for some time, according to one TUcson realtor.

While there are a number of different reasons as to why homeowners thinking about selling should take action sooner rather than later, perhaps one of the reasons Tucson realtors say the market is about to become very competitive is because the number of homes on inventory is expected to drastically increase as more homeowners stop being upside down on their homes; they’ve been waiting for the housing market to recover to sell and with the improvements that have taken place lately in property values this is happening for a number of homeowners. Tucson realtors say that if you list your home right now the number of homes on inventory is still relatively low so competition for buyers isn’t as fierce. Another aspect that many sellers don’t consider is new construction homes. With the economy and housing market improving developers and construction companies are also started to build new homes; this adds in another type of competition that many homeowners don’t think about. Lastly, the number of distressed properties that are on hand is also at a record low for the past few years meaning that those looking to purchase investment properties or bargain homes are still looking for a good deal, but they’re having to look at the traditional real estate market to find what they want.

If you want to sell your home quickly and for the best price possible, Tucson realtors want you to know that now is the time to do so. If you should happen to wait even a few months, it could impact just how long your home sits on the market and how much it sells for. Don’t waste anymore of your valuable time; contact your Tucson realtor today.

Buying Your First Home? Be Prepared Before Meeting With Your Tucson Realtor

July 15, 2014

Are you in search of your first home and are unsure of what to bring when first meeting with your Tucson realtor? Purchasing your first home can be an exciting and overwhelming thing all at the same time. You can avoid some of the stresses of searching for and purchasing your first home by being prepared before meeting with your Tucson realtor. Listed below are some suggestions many Tucson realtors offer their new clients that are searching for their first home.

One of the most important things, and probably one of the things you’ve thought about the most, is what you want out of a home such as features, size and location. Being a first time homeowner, it is important to set realistic expectations of your first home. Your Tucson realtor may be able to help you with this if you’re having a hard time determining what is most important to you. Another aspect that goes hand in hand with your so-called wish list is your budget. How much of a home can you afford and how much do you want your monthly payment to be? This is something important to think about because it could potentially limit what homes you look at. Lastly, some Tucson realtors recommend that you begin your home search already pre-approved for a mortgage. This saves time in the long run because you don’t have to wait for your loan to be approved after you’ve put an offer in and it also shows the sellers that you are a genuinely interested buyer. In today’s market, it pays to be a prepared buyer, especially if you aren’t as experienced as others.

If you have questions on what needs to be done before beginning your home search, contact your Tucson realtor. They can guide you through what you should do and point you in the right direction. That way, when it’s time to start looking at homes you can focus on what really matters, finding the one that is the best fit for you.
