1. How long will it take to sell my house?
The time it takes to sell a house varies because of many factors, such as location, market conditions, property conditions, and pricing. In a balanced market, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. A well-prepared and priced home in a high-demand area might sell quickly, while homes requiring significant repairs or in less desirable locations may take longer. When we stage a home for sale, we can close within 30 days.
2. How much do I need to pay an agent to help me buy a house?
Typically, the agent fee is paid by the seller. So, you don’t need to pay an agent to help you buy a house.
3. How much do I need for a down payment?
The required down payment for a home purchase varies depending on the loan type. Traditional mortgages often require a 20% down payment to avoid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). However, there are some lower down payment options, and the payment can be as low as 3% or lower.
4. Should I sell my current home before buying a home?
This decision depends on your financial situation, local market conditions, and personal needs. It is more convenient to buy a home contingent on the sale of your present home.
5. How many homes should I view before buying a home?
There’s no magic number for the number of homes you should view before buying one. The right way to go here is to specify your needs and only look for homes depending on your preferences, budget, and desired locations. It’ll give you a good sense of the market and what’s available within your budget so you can make the final choice.
