Don’t Make This Home Buyer Mistake – Avoid A Money Pit

How to Avoid a Money Pit, when Buying a House… Do Not waive the home inspection… The House Whisperer cannot emphasize enough the value and necessity of having a professional home inspection. Many home buyers, either in the desire to save a little money that a home inspection costs, or due to simple ignorance… have spent several thousand dollars repairing items after the purchase of their house that a knowledgeable home inspector would have pointed out.

Is the market too crazy? Should 1st time home buyers “rent for a while until the market slows down” and throw in the towel for now? Does it still make sense to pay these home prices or are they better off renting right now?
The answer as to whether or not they should buy a home vs. renting when you look at the numbers is resoundingly YES!!! Let’s take a look at this example in Campbell . . .
A current listing on the MLS today is 1360 Hoffman Ln Campbell, CA which is a 3 bed / 2 bath with 1,331 square feet for the bargain price of $949,000. The typical first time buyer starter home is now around 1M in Campbell. If we look at Craig’s List for a similar place to rent this morning you can find 1638 Ensenada Dr, Campbell which is also a 3 bed / 2 bath house that is 1,284 square feet that is listed for rent at 3,600 per month.

The Number #1 return on your investment, today, is painting your home prior to marketing it For Sale in Silicon Valley. Yellow accent against grey is “in.”
The 50’s design schemes were gold and green. Today, the Buyers actively out canvasing for homes love freshly painted rooms, however, choose your hues wisely because the “right” color can make all the difference. Today’s neutrals are in the grey shades, which enhance blue, yellow, black, charcoal, white, pink, pumpkin, orange furniture and accessories.
One of my favorite pastimes is visiting New Home developments to observe new design trends and color schemes. We are seeing less and less of “beige” and “tan” interior paint tones, and more “grey” tones that reflect soft mauve and grey-purple hues.
Grey is the “New Beige” If you are seeking inspiration and more ideas, please visit C.B.I.D. HOME DECOR and DESIGN for examples of great color tones and paint recommendations.

One in three U.S. households say they plan to move in the next five years, according to a survey conducted by the Demand Institute of 10,000 households’ current living situations. And it’s the location of the home that will be driving most of those moving decisions — more so than the physical home itself.
Seventy-five percent of the households surveyed cited one or more location-related reasons for why they were moving. The top reasons were the desire for a safer neighborhood (30%); being closer to family (27%); a change of climate (26%); being closer to work (25%), and moving for a new job (23%).
More than half — 59 percent — of households say they don’t plan to go too far, with most indicating a move within 30 miles of their current home.
For those seeking a location for climate reasons, the Western and Southern U.S. continue to be the top destinations. Continue reading
