"Mortgage Secrets Revealed: Which of These 3 Loan Programs Is Right For You?"

"Mortgage Secrets Revealed: Which of These 3 Loan Programs Is Right For You?"VA, FHA, and Conventional Loan Programs Explained #valoan #fhaloan #conventionalloan #militaryloans

Are you a veteran, current military member, or just looking for a new home? Check out our government loan programs - VA loan, FHA loan, and the conventional loan. With low down payments and flexible qualifications on an FHA loan, you can be sure to find the right program for you.

What type of loan programs are out there? So we have a couple different government programs. Your standard government program is a VA loan for our veterans or current military. We have an FHA loan who requires only a 3.5% down payment and are not as stringent when it comes to qualification purposes. And you have a conventional loan. A conventional loan is typically for somebody who's going to put a larger down payment down. Keep in mind, any time you put less than 20% down, you typically have mortgage insurance unless you're getting a VA loan. VA loans do not have mortgage insurance. So you want to shoot for at least 20% down if you can swing it to purchase the house. Otherwise, you're paying a premium, we'll call it, to use the bank's money to finance more than 80% of the property. Reach out to us if you want a couple lender referrals. We'd be happy to give you people we've been using for years.

Why You Don't Want to Go "Solo" When Buying a New Construction Home in Arizona!!!

solo

Are you ready to take the leap and buy your dream new construction home in Arizona? It's an exciting journey, but let me tell you why going "solo" without a Realtor can quickly turn into a nightmare.

Picture this: You're navigating through the complex world of real estate jargon, dealing with builders, trying to negotiate upgrades, and managing endless paperwork. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking, and the pressure is mounting. It's like trying to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle blindfolded. Scary, right?

That's where having your own Realtor becomes your superhero sidekick. Not convinced yet? Let me give you some compelling reasons why having a Realtor is a must when buying a new construction home in Arizona, and why going "solo" is like playing with fire.

1.   Don't Be a DIY Disaster: You may have a toolbox full of DIY skills, but buying a new construction home is not the time to test them out. Builders are savvy negotiators who have the upper hand in transactions. Without a skilled Realtor by your side, you may end up paying more for upgrades, missing out on incentives, or falling into hidden traps. Don't DIY your way into a costly mistake. Let a Realtor be your trusted guide and advocate.

2.   The Haunting of Home Buying Horror Stories: Horror stories of new construction home nightmares abound. From construction delays to faulty installations to unexpected costs popping up like zombies, it's enough to make you break into a cold sweat. But fear not! A Realtor has the expertise to spot potential red flags, review contracts with a keen eye, and protect your interests. They'll help you avoid the horrors of home buying gone wrong and keep you on track to your happily-ever-after in your dream home.

3.   Real Estate FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): In Arizona's competitive real estate market, new construction homes can sell quickly, and you don't want to miss out on your dream home. A Realtor has access to the latest listings, market trends, and insider information. They can help you stay ahead of the game, spot new construction opportunities as soon as they hit the market, and put in competitive offers to secure your dream home before it's gone. Don't let FOMO be your downfall - let a Realtor be your proactive partner.

4.   Laughing All the Way to the Closing Table: Buying a new construction home should be a joyous experience, not a stress-inducing nightmare. A Realtor can provide you with peace of mind and a stress-free buying process. They'll handle the paperwork, coordinate with builders, and manage the details, so you can focus on the fun parts like picking paint colors and decorating your new home. You'll be laughing all the way to the closing table with a Realtor by your side.

In conclusion, when it comes to buying a new construction home in Arizona, going "solo" without a Realtor is like jumping into a horror movie with a blindfold on. Don't let fear and FOMO drive your home buying experience. Embrace the humor and hire a Realtor to be your trusted guide and superhero sidekick. Avoid the pitfalls, enjoy the process, and make your dream home a reality.

What are the typical inspections you do in Arizona? We typically do a couple different inspections in Arizona. We definitely want to have a home inspector out to the property to do a general overall inspection of the property. In some cases, they call out a couple things that may need an additional inspection. Maybe it's a pool inspection to take a look at some leaks at pool equipment or some cracking. Maybe it's a roof inspection because the roof might be at the end of its age. Maybe it's a broken truss that we need to have a structural engineer take a look at or a foundation issue. Maybe it's a plumbing issue that we need to have a licensed plumber out to scope the pipes. That's not uncommon on a lot of older homes in Arizona. Reach out to us if you want a list of a couple great home inspectors that we've been using for years.

Phoenix - Top Market for Growth in 2021

Realtor.com®: Markets That Will Grow the Most in 2021

January 4, 2021

 

For several housing markets, their growth in 2020 is expected to continue this year, particularly in cities where tech and government jobs are more plentiful. Realtor.com® recently analyzed the 100 largest U.S. markets to find those poised for the most growth in 2021.

“Economic momentum from the thriving tech industry, coupled with healthier levels of supply, will position these markets for growth in 2021,” realtor.com® Chief Economist Danielle Hale notes. “Additionally, the relative stability of government jobs in the past year has driven home prices and sales in several state capitals to the top. Home buyers, particularly first-timers, looking in one of these markets should expect rising prices and heavy competition. Meanwhile, sellers will remain in a position of power but will find themselves on the other side of the bargaining table when buying their next home.”

Realtor.com® predicted the 10 top markets for 2021 based on the combined yearly percentage growth in both home sales and prices forecast for 2021.

  • 2021 sales growth: 13.8%
  • 2021 price growth: 5.2%
  • Combined growth: 19%
