Is It Time To Buy A Home - Read This To Avoid The Industry Hype

By Joe Manausa - Tallahassee, FL, Tallahassee Real Estate

(Joe Manausa Real Estate)

I’ve been reading a lot of articles online about interest rates and home affordability, so I decided I would take a look at home affordability rates in the Tallahassee real estate market. Anybody who has a stake in the real estate market is hyping today as the best time to buy a home in the history of housing. It’s one thing to keep reading about how rates won’t be this way forever, but how does that translate into affordability for today’s prospective home buyer? The first think I did was pull historical interest rates back to January of 1992. I have the data for 30 year fixed rate mortgages, 15 year fixed rates mortgages, and 1 year arms. Additionally, I pulled all the home sales in the Tallahassee real estate market going back to January of 1992. I had to do some serious data cleani... 06/05/2009

What You Should Know About Financing A Home Today

By Joe Manausa - Tallahassee, FL, Tallahassee Real Estate

(Joe Manausa Real Estate)

Things sure have changed a lot. I would have to say that things are completely back to normal when it comes to financing a home purchase. The no-doc (no documents required) loan days are over, and for good reason, so home buyers are having to be better organized and better prepared in order to close on their new home purchase. Our CENTURY 21 office in Tallahassee has a lot of home buyers that we are working with currently. They range from local people that we have known for years to soldiers from Afghanistan and Iraq who are returning from the war. The one thing they have in common is they are considered “brand new customers” to the mortgage banks that are considering their loans for approval. This is an important point to understand.

Renter's Insurance - The Basics

By John Stehmeyer

(Pro Players Realty)

All content originally found on www.MoneyCentral.msn.com Thought you were covered by your landlord's insurance? Think again. You'll need renter's insurance to protect your belongings from perils like theft, vandalism, fire and falling objects. By Insure.com You're moving into a new apartment and you have a lot to do: setting up telephone and cable service, letting people know your new address, deciding how to arrange your living room -- the last thing you're thinking about is insurance. If you live in a condominium or rent an apartment, your landlord's or condo association's insurance should cover damages to the building -- meaning the structure itself. But such a policy only covers their building and not your belongings. That's why you should have renter's insurance. Regardless of w... 06/05/2009

Painting Trim

By John Stehmeyer

(Riverking Custom Painting)

Written by Bronwyn Harris Painting trim, whether interior or exterior, can be somewhat difficult because of the precision that is required. The main part of the process is the same for indoor and outdoor painting. When preparing to paint trim, the most important part is the prep, so make sure that you have all the necessary tools before you start. Before painting trim, you will need a drop cloth, painter's tape or masking tape, sandpaper, primer, paint, and paintbrushes. Deglosser, caulk, and masking paper may be needed as well; a sanding sponge can be more useful than sandpaper, as sanding sponges are flexible and conform well to surfaces which are not regular. To clean a sanding sponge, just rinse the sponge with water. Lay down a drop cloth to protect the floor or ground, and mask th... 06/05/2009

Expert Advice: Testing Paint

By John Stehmeyer

(Riverking Custom Painting)

Painting expert Brian Santos says the key to testing paint samples is in the light. Read more in his new book, "Painting Secrets." From Painting Secrets from Brian Santos The Wall Wizard Author Brian Santos Q. What is the best way to try a color before you paint, and why does paint sometimes look different from the paint chips? Brian Santos: You probably selected the color by looking at it under a different type or intensity of light than what's in your room. Sunlight, daylight, fluorescent light, halogen light, and incandescent light affect colors differently. So bring the sample card into the room you intend to paint and look at its several times during the day. See how the color looks using different kinds of artificial light before making a final decision. Quick Tip To get a... 06/03/2009

Who Really Saves The Real Estate Commission?

By Joe Manausa - Tallahassee, FL, Tallahassee Real Estate

(Joe Manausa Real Estate)

Yesterday’s blog on “For Sale By Owners” created some interesting discussion both here and at the Tallahassee Real Estate Blog. It seems that, oddly enough, my viewpoint was shared by most REALTORS®, yet some of our readership was mixed. I absolutely love when we get reader comments, because it helps steer the direction of this blog, as well as the direction of our customer service directives at our Tallahassee CENTURY 21. Reader Asks “Where Is My House” So the first comment is from longtime reader “WW’ who writes: How do you measure FSBOs? If I’m smart enough to say, “Hm, all the $200K’s in my neighborhood are failing to sell,” and list my house FSBO at $110K, and it sells in a week…. which of your charts do I hit?

How Can You Possibly Be A FSBO In This Market?

By Joe Manausa - Tallahassee, FL, Tallahassee Real Estate

(Joe Manausa Real Estate)

I was talking to a good friend of mine yesterday who was asking me about an article in the Tallahassee Real Estate Newsletter that was published last Monday. He said he understood everything except he wanted to know what a “Failed To Sell” measurement was. He had seen the graph and wanted to know what it meant. Simply put, this is the measurement of the people in Tallahassee who tried to sell their home, but failed. How Can You Possibly Be A FSBO In This Market? For those of you that do not know, “FSBO” is a term used in the real estate industry for people who are trying to sell their home without a real estate brokerage company. The term “FSBO” stands for “For Sale By Owner.” So, I’m sitting here wondering what people are thinking about when they put their home on the market without th... 06/02/2009

To Sell or Not to Sell?

By John Stehmeyer

(Pro Players Realty)

Should I Wait to Sell My House Until I Can Get the Same Price My Neighbor Sold For? It’s always better to trade up in a buyer’s market, like the one we are in now. While the value of your house may have gone down, the price of higher-end homes has also dropped. Here's an example. Say your neighbor sold his house six months ago for $300,000. In today's market, your home's value has decreased 10 percent and you could only get $270,000. So you might think you'd be taking a $30,000 'loss' on your home. But, don’t forget that higher priced homes are also dropping in price. So, using the same example, the $500,000 move-up home you'd like to buy has also dropped 10 percent in value and now sells at $450,000. If you so... 06/01/2009

7 Things to Know About Paint

By John Stehmeyer

(Riverking Custom Painting)

Good products, good preparation, and proper application are the keys to colors that last. From Remodel By Becky Mollenkamp 1. Spend more for quality. The accrued costs of frequent repainting cancel the "savings" you enjoy by buying the cheap stuff. Good-quality paints cost more because they have a higher percentage of titanium dioxide, which determines covering ability, and other additives that increase durability. The heavier bodies of high-end paints help them go on smoother, splatter less, and resist fading. 2. Look at luster. Sheen refers to the degree of shine. Generally, the higher the gloss, the better the finish will stand up to stains, abrasions, and cleaning. Choosing sheen can be a matter of personal preference, but there are some general guidelines to follow. Flat paint ... 06/01/2009

Declining Home Values In Killearn Lakes Unit 2

By Joe Manausa - Tallahassee, FL, Tallahassee Real Estate

(Joe Manausa Real Estate)

The average home price of a home sold in Killearn Lakes Unit 2 this year is $160,000, which represents a value of $110 per square foot. Much like the rest of the market, this traditionally strong Tallahassee neighborhood has seen home sales drop in half, and appreciation is -20% (meaning real depreciation) since the top of the market in 2006. What surprises me is how Unit 2 of Killearn Lakes contrasts so much with Unit 1 of Killearn Lakes. Why is Unit 1 holding firmer in the market than Unit 2? I suspect it has to do with the size of the lots and the proximity to the lakes in Unit 1. But nevertheless, I feel that Killearn Lakes Unit 2 will rebound very strongly when the market climbs back up from the bottom. See Killearn Lakes Unit 2 Home Sales Graph 06/01/2009

Open House Etiquette for Home Buyers

By John Stehmeyer

(Pro Players Realty)

Open House Do's and Don'ts By Elizabeth Weintraub, About.com A favorite pastime of many people -- whether in the market to buy a home or simply curious -- is to attend a Sunday Open House. In fact, checking out open houses is almost a religious experience in California. Everybody goes to open houses. If you're wondering about the proper open house etiquette or have questions about the role of the agent holding the house open, here are suggestions to help make your open house visit productive. Agent Roles at Open Houses Because not all real estate agents host open houses in the same manner, you can't always be certain who will answer the door. Could be the listing agent, a neighbor, a buyer's agent or even the seller. One thing is for certain. You do not need to ring the door bell ... 06/01/2009
