Although most homes for sale are resales, one out of four homebuyers purchases a new home. Which is better: existing or new? The right answer, of course, is up to you. Both resales and new homes offer advantages. Existing homes are less expensive on average, and are generally closer to, and enjoy the warmth and surroundings of, established neighborhoods. New homes, on the other hand, offer innovative use of space, modern energy efficiency, and choices of options and upgrades. What's more, everything is new - even the neighbors.  Visit my website to get our FREE Special Report  "10 Secrets Every New Home Buyer Should Know".Daniel Lowery, Certified Negotiation Specialist (CNS), e-PROREALTOR® Broker/Sales Coldwell Banker Gordon Co.

A few months ago I began volunteer work with the River City Habitat for Humanity.  I am on the Family Support Committee, which basically means I am partnered with a new family after they have been approved to get a home.  It is my responsibility to offer general support as they learn about their new role as a homeowner.  Like many of you, I had the misconception that Habitat gives homes to families in need.  Boy, was I wrong!  The families DO have to pay for their home, but they get it at cost because it is built by volunteers.  In addition, they have to contribute several hundred hours of "sweat equity."  They start by working on someone else's home, and then once they pass their probationary period they get to work on the home being built for them.  One of the best things about this p...

Jefferson City Missouri Real EstateBuying a home is a major investment no matter which way you look at it. But for many homebuyers, it's an even more expensive process than it needs to be because many fall prey to at least a few of many common and costly mistakes which trap them into either paying too much for the home they want, or losing their dream home to another buyer or, worse, buying the wrong home for their needs.   A systemized approach to the homebuying process can help you steer clear of these common traps, allowing you to not only cut costs, but also buy the home that's best for you. An industry report has just been released entitled "Nine Buyer Traps and How to Avoid Them". This important report discusses the 9 most common and costly of these homebuyer traps, how to identif...

Jeferson City Misouri Real EstateIf you've tried to sell your home yourself, you know that the minute you put the "For Sale by Owner" sign up, the phone will start to ring off the hook.  Unfortunately, most calls aren't from prospective buyers, but rather from every real estate agent in town who will start to hound you for your listing.          Like other "For Sale by Owners", you'll be subjected to a hundred sales pitches from agents who will tell you how great they are and how you can't possibly sell your home by yourself.  After all, without  the proper information, selling a home isn't easy. Perhaps you've had your home on the market for several months with no offers from qualified buyers.  This can be a very frustrating time, and many homeowners have given up their dream of sellin...

The small community of 12,000 known for its textile industry, Munchberg -- pronounced "Minch-berg" -- is nestled between the gentle hills of the Franconian woods and the Fichtel Highlands.Munchberg is Jefferson City's new "partner city." The two communities have ties going back nearly two centuries, when Munchberg emigrants settled a new neighborhood south of Jefferson City's downtown.In December, after some spirited debate, the two town councils cemented the new cross-Atlantic relationship.Supporters hope the new relationship will allow the flow of culture, ideas and goodwill between the two areas of the world.Burgermeister (mayor) Thomas Fein describes Munchberg as a quiet, industrial town capable of attracting tourists with its scenic beauty and quaint architecture."In summer, you ca...

Jefferson City Missouri Real EstateNot all real estate agents are the same. If you decide to seek the help of an agent when selling or buying your home, you need some good information before you make any moves. Picking the right agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars. There are very specific questions you should be asking to ensure that you get the best representation for your needs. Many agents would prefer that you don't ask these questions, because the knowledge you'll gain from their honest answers will give you a very good idea about what outcome you can expect from using this agent. And let's face it - in real estate, as in life - not all things are created equal. Hiring a real estate agent is just like any hiring process - with you on...

Jefferson City Missouri Real EstateAccording to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your h...

Unless the buyer who makes an offer on your home has the resources to qualify for a mortgage, you may not really have a sale. If possible, try to determine a buyer's financial status before signing the contract.1. Has the buyer been prequalified or preapproved (better) for a mortgage. Such buyers will be in a much better position to obtain a mortgage promptly.2. Does the buyer have enough money to make a downpayment and cover closing costs? Ideally, a buyer should have 20 percent of the home's price as a downpayment and between 2 percent and 7 percent of the price to cover closing costs.3. Is the buyer's income sufficient to afford your home? Ideally, buyers should spend no more than 28 percent of total income to cover PITI (principal, interest, taxes, and insurance).4. Does your buyer ...
