Find it, negotiate it, and buy it. Important advice for buyers in today’s real estate market, suggested by Jennifer Darby Metzger who has been a focused broker business co-owner of ERA Justin Realty for many years. Her approach to her buyers and sellers has made her a Realtor of choice to hundreds as she continues to focus on buyers and sellers throughout Bergen, Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties.
ERA Justin Realty Report, “Find it, negotiate it, and buy it”
Jennifer Darby Metzger, ERA Justin Realty Broker Co-owner explains,
“There is a expanded group of motivated sellers who have priced their houses correctly to the market so it may be the first one to sell. There is also an expanded group of buyers who want to buy, but many err by not buying the house they find that meets their needs, because they feel that a better one may be just around the bend. This, time and time again works against these buyers. Strong market demands for a properly priced house, low mortgage interest rates and being in competition with many other buyers may not give them a chance to return to that perfect purchase as it might be gone within a day or so. They then continue their quest, unsuccessfully comparing all others to the house they might have purchased, but lost to another buyer.
When quality features, affordable pricing, location and other amenities all come together, don’t hesitate. When a prime listing comes on the market, there is usually more than one buyer making offers. Consider yourself lucky if you find your dream house, or close to it, early on in your house search. It’s usually better to be first than sorry. Don’t skip this great listing just because you found it quickly. There will be a comfort level of value, as your lender will be making a detailed appraisal of value before finalizing a mortgage commitment for you. New underwriting guidelines require that the lender’s appraiser provide comparable sales information for the past three months. Now, lenders’ underwriters are sensitive to the state of the local market in question. This will increase your comfort level.
As you go through the buying process with one of our ERA Justin Realtor professionals, we will provide you with comparable sales information. You’ll learn about current listings in the neighborhood that are similar in size and condition, as well as the most recently sold listings.”
