First Time Homebuyers 101

First Time Homebuyers - 101

 Doing research on how to buy a home is a serious time investment. There are plenty of ways to get this info on your own. Newspapers are a good starting point to find information by taking a look at the local property transfers. This can help you see what homes have sold for and how much activity is taking place in the town you are interested in. You can also do plenty of research on the internet. This is a great way to start compiling your information. The next thing that you want to do is find a great real estate agent. The best way to do this is through a referral from family and friends or you may meet a great agent through a weekend open house.

 There is no need to be anxious about what comes next. The process can seem so overwhelming. The first thing that you need to do is talk over your financing options with a qualified reputable mortgage broker or bank. You can discuss your down payment options and see which loan programs best fit your needs. Then you will have a starting point on the price range for your new home. Now you are armed with your information. Its time to go home shopping.

 Do you want to live in the city or suburbs? What are you looking for in home? Do you want a certain style? How many bedrooms? What home style do you like? Do you want a ranch, colonial, condo or high rise? Once you narrow this down, take a look and see what fits in your price point.

 Now you go out with your Realtor and start looking. You will probably see a lot of properties your first time out. Don’t get confused. I recommend bringing a digital camera to document each property. You should also take notes and pay attention to the home’s surroundings. Remember the old saying “Location, location, location”. After leaving each property you should rate them right away. This allows you to make an easy decision later.

 You found your home, now what? You make an offer through your real estate agent. There will be some negotiating back and forth. Finally everyone agrees to terms and price. You give a 1% binder check to show good faith that you are serious about purchasing the home. There will be an offer to purchase which has information about the property including dates and contingencies. This is an agreement on paper that will provide the attorneys information to create a binding contract. Next its time to hire a building inspector to look over the property for you and you need to hire an attorney. It’s best if you hire an attorney that specializes in real estate law. If everything is okay you will go to contract the next few days. This will be the legal and binding document that your bank will need to continue processing the loan.

 From this point on the bank and your attorney will contact you and ask you for all sorts of paperwork and documentation to complete the loan process. When you receive your mortgage commitment, its time to start dreaming about paint colors and decorating.

  This year there is the first time home buyers tax credit of $8000 for qualified buyers.

You must have a contract to purchase a home by April 30^th, 2010 and close on the home by June 30, 2010. Eligible properties can be purchased up to $800,000. There are income limits for first time homebuyers. Single home purchaser’s income can be up to $125,000 and married couples up to $225,000. There is a partial tax credit for incomes that are within $20,000 of limits. There is also a tax credit of $6500 for “Step Up” home buyers. These are just some of the basic terms. For more information please go to www.Bondirealtygroup.com and click on Home Buyers Tax Credit.

 2010 is a great time to buy. Prices are affordable and there are many homes to choose from. Mortgage rates are historically low and there is the home buyer’s tax credit. This combination should help stimulate the real estate market for the immediate future.

Real Estate News January 2010

State of the Real Estate Market 2010

  As a lifelong Norwalk resident and a realtor for over twenty years I decided to start my own company - Bondi Realty Group LLC. I felt that I wanted more flexibility in marketing and wanted to provide a more personal service & experience. We are a hometown family run business with many satisfied clients. We embrace each and every client with extraordinary customer service.

 

I am taking this opportunity to give you my professional opinion about our local real estate market. Through a series of articles I will bring you important information you should know. This will enable you to make an educated decision when the time comes to buy or sell your home.

 The real estate market has shown its sign of vulnerability over the last few years.

But right now is a perfect opportunity to buy. You have your $8000 first time home buyers credit, fabulous mortgage rates under 5% and bottom of the market prices.

There is also an incentive program for homeowners as well. If you have owned and occupied your home for at least five consecutive years you may be eligible for up to a $6500 tax credit. As long as you purchase another home and have a signed contract by April 30^th and close by June 30^th, 2010.

 I already see a trend of the bottom end of single family home prices starting to creep up ever so slowly. Some of these homes consist of foreclosures and short sales. There are so many homes to choose from at this time. Foreclosures and short sales unfortunately are still depressing the market, not only in Norwalk, but in surrounding towns as well. What this means is that if you have a property for sale at this time, your home values are in competition with those distressed properties. The realtors and appraisers are doing their comparatives not only on non foreclosed sales but on foreclosed sales and short sales as well.

 Everyone wants to know what is really happening out there in our local real estate market. I believe our current local real estate market has faired better then the rest of the country. Here are a few statistics from Consolidated Multiple Listing system.

 In 2007 sales were at an all time high. There were more buyers than sellers and properties were selling for over asking price. Supply, demand and lending incentives fueled the market resulting in 602 single family homes and 482 condo sales in Norwalk.

 Norwalk showed a dramatic decline in home sales from the buying frenzy of 2007.  In 2008 fueled by fears of the status of the economy people just didn’t come out to purchase homes. The marketplace amidst these fears showed a decline in 2008 sales tumbling to a total of 416 single family and 282 condos.

 At the end of 2009 Norwalk’s housing market was showing signs of stability but the banks are still being cautious with their lending.  Currently as of December 2009 there are 331 single family homes on the market and 251 condominiums for sale. 428 single family homes and 217 condos sold this year.

As we start the New Year the housing market is on track with its seasonal winter slow down. I feel that in the coming months we will see the local market start to build momentum. Homes will start to sell again. First time homebuyers will find the dream home that they have been looking for and people will realize that the home values were prematurely inflated over the past few years.

1,190,000. - Mid Century Modern - West Norwalk CT

 Spectacular mid century modern design by award winning architects nestled on a picturesque river inclusive property in West Norwalk. Features include dramatic vaulted ceilings & 15′window in great room, custom designed open kitchen with SS appliances. Stone & hardwood floors. Office or guest suite area with sitting room, bedroom, kitchen and luxurious bath- great opportunity to work from home. Live in your own personal retreat. Fabulous master bedroom suite with dressing area and private terrace. Walk in closet-safe room with marble floor & washer, dryer area. Master bath with white carrera  tile shower and soaking tub. Copper gutters, 2 car garage, floor to ceiling windows overlooking Five Mile River & seasonal Waterfall views.

 The Original House, designed and built in 1952 by AIA Gold Medal winning ” Modernist Architect” George Nemeny, was significantly re-Constructed and added on to over a 6 year period by another award winning but contemporary architect.

The House and site work together to create a classic textbook example of the perfect solar orientated house. The house is sheltered from the winter winds by a distinctive surround of tall pines on the north and positioned on a level stretch of lawn midway on a gently south-sloping site. The unique “Eli” shaped floor plan takes advantage of views and sounds across the road at Florsheim Pond from the cantilevered Master Bedroom space and observation deck.

 Special note is to be made that the house functions as a Passive Solar House due to the 15′ tall monumental glass window on the south side and substantial windows in the new guest suite. The house and site have great solar access for photo-voltalcs or DHW collectors. As a result of the renovations, the house is now Super-insulated with 12″ walls and 24″ roofs in most areas, achieving R-40 in the walls and up to R-60 in the roof. These insulation values well exceed the current building codes. Due to its solar siting and the extensive use of the natural materials such as stone, wood & glass the original house design was way ahead of its time in anticipating the need for “Green” and energy efficient homes.

 New Living Spaces, Decks and Terraces

 New Kitchen space & custom cabinets, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and bluestone floors piped for radiant heat.

 New dining area space with sliders and bluestone floors piped for radiant heat.

 New sleeping loft with private bath and hideaway space with seasonal waterfall views.

 New guest suite or legal in law apartment with vaulted ceiling living area, bedroom, galley kitchen and private entrance.

New master bedroom suite with master bathroom with separate vanity and shower/bath area. Bath area has tall window with seasonal river views. Master bath features extensive select white carerra marble tiles, tub surrounds, seats and tops.
