Search all homes for saleToday, we discuss the common misconception that you need to be able to put 20% down in order to purchase a home.There are many loan programs out there that will allow you to put less than 20% down. Conventional loans offer programs for as little as 3% down, which is the lowest possible. Conventional also allows for you to put 5%, 10%, 15%, or even the whole 20% down, which is nice because you can choose whatever amount you can comfortably afford to put down.The FHA program allows you to put only 3.5% down. This is a great loan option because there is a grant program that will get you the whole 3.5% for you and could even cover as much as 5% of the loan. With this grant, you don't have to pay the money back, and the options range from 3% to 5%. You can use the money for your down payment, closing costs, or anything else needed to get into the home. The program is called NHF Platinum, and we highly recommend looking into it!If you would like to speak with our preferred lender, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, give us a call or shoot us a quick email.

It's that easy.Typically when you buy a home, the seller will offer a home warranty. If the seller does not, then there is still an option to get a home warranty in the offer to purchase. Home warranties provide peace of mind and reduce the risks for everyone involved.When buying a home, it's not so much a question of whether something will break; the real question is when will something break. With this protection, you the buyer will save money on future repairs.To learn more about Robbie's company, go to http://www.2-10.com.

Search all homes for saleToday's topic is new construction and the effects it has on the real estate market!We've had a very strong sellers market here in metro Atlanta lately. Inventory has been extremely low because there wasn't much new construction from 2009 to 2013. In recent years, however, we've seen a lot of new construction and the Atlanta area market is coming back pretty strong. Here are some of the numbers for Cobb County:62 homes have been sold in 2015 that were built this yearThere are currently 266 homes built in 2015 active on the marketThis uptick in new construction is balancing out the Atlanta areaThere is a huge difference between the average price point for new construction homes and resale properties. For example, the average sales price for a newly constructed home in Cobb County is $397,000, whereas the average price range for resale properties is significantly lower. We're thinking this influx of quality inventory will effectively balance out the market here in the Atlanta area. These new construction projects will free up the inventory for people in all price ranges, which is always good news for our market.If you have any questions about current market conditions, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, give us a call or shoot us an email.

Want to sell your home? Get a FREE home value report  Want to buy a home? Search all homes for saleA lot of people have been asking us questions lately about how to move up in a seller's market, which often requires selling your current home and buying your next one in one process. It's a bit of a juggling act, especially in a market like ours, but it's not impossible.The first step is getting your current home sale-ready. You don't have to necessarily put it on the market right away, but getting it sale-ready is important. Depending on your financial situation and ability to take risks, you may make an offer on your next home prior to putting your current one on the market, or put your current home on the market and wait for a buyer before making an offer on a home.A lot of things can go wrong when trying to balance a sale and a purchase. For example, what if you sell your current home before you've found one to buy? What about if you make an offer on a home that's accepted, but you haven't sold your current home yet? It's important to have a "Plan B" in this case, and a trusted real estate professional should be able to help you come up with a good one.If you're going to attempt this, my personal recommendation is that you hire one agent or a team for both transactions. It's much easier to communicate with one person instead of two, and there's a lot of juggling to be done that would be easier for one person to accomplish if they were handling both sides. They will help at minimizing potential risk, as well as maximizing your profits.If you have any questions for us, feel free to give us a call or shoot over a quick email.
