OPEN THEIR EYES- SIZE DOES MATTER IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA

 

 

OPEN THEIR EYES- SIZE DOES MATTER IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA

 

You know what?  Size does matter!  You want buyers to soak up every square foot of your home, visualizing how their belongings will fit in.  Follow these recommendations to maximize the space they perceive, particularly if you are selling a smaller home.

 

Furniture makes the most direct impact on the living space, so scale down the size of your furnishings, or even better, remove a few larger pieces and rearrange what remains.  Large furnishings can make a room feel cramped, so open it up.

 

Avoid busy fabric patterns, which can also make a room “feel” smaller.  Use texture in fabrics to add interest, and if necessary, buy slipcovers for patterned chairs or sofas that you love or can’t remove.

 

After furniture, the next biggest impact is your walls.  Since dark colors absorb light and make even large rooms look smaller, invest in some light paint (think creams, light blues or greens, soft yellows) to open your room’s space.

 

Another great “trick” is to simply hang some mirrors.  Mirrors do double duty in expanding the space.  Seeing a reflection of the room gives the impression of more space in “another” room, while mirrors also reflect light, and a brighter room feels like a bigger room.

 

These are simple suggestions to implement, and a real estate professional will have even more advice for creating an appealing interior.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT IN ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA REAL ESTATE

In spite of the real estate roller coaster of the last few years, homeownership remains the bedrock of financial and familial security.  Having a long-term investment that provides the satisfaction and pride of ownership beats just about anything else you can do with your savings.

When the market exploded several years ago, the expectations of many consumers grew too high, too fast.  Homes became more commodities than investments, and now markets and attitudes have been forced to realign.

Conditions today make it an opportune time to secure your future.  Home prices and interest rates are still low, and tax advantages are abundant.  You just have to get past all the negativity in the media.  All the bad news has drained consumer confidence, and frankly, you cannot underestimate the effect of intangibles like confidence and expectation on the real estate industry.

Real estate transactions are unlike any other financial transaction.  The demand and desire for homeownership doesn’t expire like other flashy investment instruments.  The inherent value of a stock can be calculated by a formula of company profits, earnings ratios, performance history, fund managers, and so on.

However, a home’s value is ultimately determined by what a buyer is willing to pay for it, and the security and well-being that owning your own home provides.  Honestly, there’s hardly been a better time to make your move.

Real Estate Closing Costs, How Much Do I Need?

 

It's a good idea to factor in the closing costs when buying a home, so you can properly plan and manage your finances. In most cases you can expect to pay 2-5% of the purchase price in closing costs, not including the down payment. 

Closing costs can include the following:

 

• Down Payments can vary, most are in the range of 5% -20% of the purchase price depending on your qualifications and loan choice
• Earnest Money Deposit is the money put down when a contract is written and usually it goes into an escrow account. If the property closes this money generally goes toward your closing costs but can be non-refundable after a certain period if the buyer backs out of the purchase.
• Lender fees include charges for loan processing, underwriting and preparation
• Third-party fees include charges for insurance, title insurance, title search, appraisal fees and other inspections such as termite
• Government fees include deed recording and state mortgage taxes
• Escrow and interest fees include homeowner's insurance, loan interest, Real Estate taxes, home warranties, prepaid interest and occasionally private mortgage insurance,
• Property taxes

 

Please do not hesitate to contact us when you are ready to take the next step or if you have any questions. We look forward to assisting you.
