BUYING FAQ'S

Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor who needs a refresher on how transactions work, here are some answers to the most often asked questions.

What is the first step in buying a house?

The best first step in the home-buying process is to get pre-approved for a mortgage. Obtaining a lender's pre-approval letter sets the ball rolling in the correct way - as it is needed to submit offers on your idle home(s).

What is the average time it takes to buy a house?

Buying a home tends to take roughly 8 to 12 weeks from start to finish (from searching online to closing escrow). The average time to close escrow on a home is 30 to 45 days after a home is chosen and an offer is accepted (under normal market conditions). However, cash-paying home purchasers who are well-prepared have been known to purchase properties much faster.

How much should I pay an agent to assist me in purchasing a home?

Most often for ON-market (MLS listed) properties, the seller tends to compensate the buyer's agents for bringing the buyer and all else as needed to get the transaction successfully closed. As a result, buyers may not have to compensate their representative. But this is not always the case. What (or IF) the seller pay's the buyer's agent may differ from property to property and is one of many matters of negotiation.

How much capital do I need to put down as a down payment?

The average down payment in the United States is 10%. However, this figure includes both first-time and recurrent purchasers. It can be substantially less or more depending on the type of loan, property and the buyer's circumstances. This is why a lender pre-approval should be the first step in the home buying process - as this question is answered during that process.

Is it necessary for me to sell my current property before purchasing a new one?

If the equity in your current home will be used to pay the down payment on your new home, then the former must be sold first. But we can aid you with listing your existing home for sale, and make it a condition of the contract for purchase of the new home, that your sale must close first.

How many houses should I look at before making a decision?

It's entirely up to you! Home buying is, without a doubt, easier today than it has ever been. The opportunity to browse for homes online and view photos before leaving the comfort of your own home has dramatically transformed the home-buying process. Convenience has never been higher. But nothing beats seeing a house in person to get a sense of how it looks and feels.

How long will it take for the seller to respond to my offer?

The timeframe in which the seller must react should be specified in written offers. It should be enough to give them at least 24 hours. But the right offer can be accepted within a matter of hours.
