Alexandria La Real Estate- Do I Need A Down-payment To Purchase A Home?Purchasing a home is a major decision. Alexandria La home buyers are encouraged to spend some time speaking with a local mortgage lender. But the question remains, do I need a down-payment to buy a home? If so, how will I know how much to save? Lets take a look at some popular home loan programs in Alexandria Louisiana. FHA Loans-- These loans require borrowers to have 3.5% down. So on 100,000 dollars the buyer would need 3,500 bucks. With careful planning, most people can save this in a matter of months! Bond Money- Based on a FHA loan, bond money comes in and covers the bulk of the required down-payment. Earlier this summer I had a buyer only bring 88 dollars to closing. That's cheaper than dinner and a movie! Rura... 08/30/2016

Why Can't We Move In Early?After an escrow process that resembled more marathon than sprint, closing day is right around the corner. Alexandria, La home buyers will from time to time inquire if early move in is possible. After all, the apartment they were in let them in before the lease date, why wouldn't an owner. Let's take a moment to understand why your early occupancy request may be frowned upon. Deals can and do die during the final hour- Loan issues, job loss, natural disasters, title issues, a whole host of issues can pull the legs off the closing table. Sellers fear the buyers may nitpick the condition of the home-- That squeaky front door was cute during the showing. After listening to it ten times a day the love may fade. Then who pays for the repair? I've seen buyers sign (t... 08/17/2016

When The Deal Dies-- Putting The Home Back On The MarketSadly, not every real estate deal ends with a closing. Literally every step in the under contract (known as escrow) process is loaded with pits and perils. Home inspections, buyer credit, appraisals, and title issues can all raise their ugly head. Combine this with nervous (and sometime information overloaded) buyers and you can understand the drama. Here are steps to take once the termination order is signed. Remind yourself why you are moving--People can get so caught up in the dead deal that the forget why the sign was in the ground to begin with. Get up, dust yourself off, then onward! Dissect what killed the deal--Is there anything you can do to fix the problem? Issues that cause one buyer to leap may do likewise for future on... 07/28/2016

Robert A. Wolf, MAI - My Memories Of A Legend In Central Louisiana Real Estate...the Warren Buffet of CENLA! From 1992 to 3/1994, I had the privilege to work for "Mr. Wolf" as an Appraiser for the closing of England Air Force Base in Alexandria Louisiana. While short in size, everyone in Town called him "Mr. Wolf" as he owned a sizable portion of the Town, commercial and residential. Like Warren Buffet, he was a savvy investor! He would set his sights on a property, perhaps for years or decades, and purchase when it was a favorable opportunity. Because of his investment prowess, he commanded a large client and consulting base of some of the wealthiest in CENLA. I appraised some of their homes. Avid Health! Even in 1992, he appeared "old" in age, but his age may have fooled some. He had ... 04/14/2016

If The Market Is So Hot, Why Has My House Not Sold?The Alexandria La real estate market continues to thrive. The interaction of low rates, lack of rental options, and a stable employment picture have caused a housing shortage. As a result, sellers are seeing reduced time on market, stronger offers, and in some cases bidding wars.But even so, In January 2016 13 homes witnessed their listing agreement expire, or opted to withdraw from the market. Let's take a moment and examine why homes may linger on even in a tight housing market... The aggressive pricing strategy backfired--Sellers have a natural (and understandable) desire to get the highest price possible. This thinking encourages some to "ask high and accept less". When a home is priced beyond comps, it becomes compared with more ex... 02/01/2016
