Many Bradley Beach home buyers want to wait until the market reaches bottom to buy, insuring they are getting the best possible price. But how do you know when the market has reached bottom? Usually it is by looking back and saying "Oh, I wish I had Bought back then!" We may be reaching the bottom of the current real estate market and beginning to see the return of appreciation. Do Not Miss your opportunity. Here is an "Interesting" excerpt from CNBC. I suggest you take it as a "For What It's Worth". There are certainly some good and some "Over the Top" comments in this clip. http://www.CNBC.com/id/29757411 Personally, I don't subscribe to "Over the Top" commentary. I just think it makes sense to realize we are likely at or very near the bottom of the housing market and it IS a great ti... 06/08/2009

Many consumers today are understandably worried about their nest egg. For many of them, however, their "nest" is the best investment they can make.  U.S. Census Bureau data shows that Bradley Beach home owners move less frequently than renters. This stability is important in creating strong foundations for both families and communities.  A recent NAR research study shows that Bradley Beach home owners are more likely to vote, volunteer time for civic events or participate in local crime prevention programs because they're invested in what happens in their neighborhoods.  If you are considering buying a Bradley Beach  home to build your nest, visit PatrickParkerHomes.com or give me a call.

One man's loss is another man's gain and right now buyer's have everything to gain. It was only a few short years ago that sellers controlled the market and were calling the shots. In order to buy a home, buyers were paying over the asking price, foregoing home inspections and paying all their own closing costs. Bradley Beach home buyers were jumping through any and all hoops.  Now the market has shifted. The strong sellers' market is a thing of the past and it is the sellers who are jumping through hoops. Buyers are calling the shots with offers that include home inspections; requests that closing costs, homeowner association fees and inspection fees be paid by the seller; decorating allowances; home improvement; and prices far below the asking price.  So why are buyers hesitating? Fea... 05/12/2009

1. Decide what you can afford. Generally, you can afford a home equal in value to between two and three times your gross income. 2. Develop your home wish list. Then, prioritize the features on your list. 3. Select where you want to live. Compile a list of three or four neighborhoods you'd like to live in, taking into account items such as schools, recreational facilities, area expansion plans, and safety. 4. Start saving. Do you have enough money saved to qualify for a mortgage and cover your down payment?  Ideally, you should have 20 percent of the purchase price saved as a down payment. Also, don't forget to factor in closing costs. Closing costs - including taxes, attorney's fee, and transfer fees - average between 2 and 7 percent of the home price. 5. Get your credit in order. Obta... 05/06/2009

Many Bradley Beach home sellers look at the first offer on their home as just that, the First Offer with many more to come. You know what they say, ‘A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.' And in the current Buyers Market, offers are few and far between. Bradley Beach home sellers will want to consider the first offer very seriously. Here are reasons why:  An early offer (if you're lucky!) doesn't necessarily mean buyers are lining up to follow suit. It could just mean that your home meets the needs or preferences of that one particular buyer who made the offer. Your home will get the most interest from buyers just after it goes on the market. The longer it stays on the market, the more "desperate" buyers will think you are, prompting lower and lower offers. Even if the first offe... 04/20/2009

Bradley Beach NJ Real Estate: Fannie & Freddie Roll Back Fees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have both announced they will not impose the loan fee increase scheduled to go into effect this month. Fees were to have increased from .25% to .5%, making it even more difficult for Bradley Beach NJ home buyers. The biggest obstacle many ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­home buyers face is the necessary cash needed for a down payment and closing costs. Both companies, now controlled by the federal government, had decided to increase fees to boost their finances during difficult times. Freddie Mac, however, will raise fees next year for riskier loan products, including mortgages that allow interest-only payments for the first few years. Freddie also will require higher credit scores for "piggyback" loans that allow ... 10/27/2008

To Fix or Not To Fix When Selling Your Bradley Beach NJ Home That is the question all Bradley Beach NJ home owners should ask themselves when they consider selling their home. The first item on the fix-it list: clear the clutter! If your closets, attic, basement, garage, and other storage areas appear neat, half-full and organized, your house will seem to have more storage space. To accomplish the clutter - clearing task, empty the house, hold a garage sale, and use the profits to help offset the next set of fix-it priorities. Check your house for "curb appeal".
