How Buyer's Can Find Their Dream Home in Today's Market

Attention: if you are down sizing, a tenant, 1st time home buyer, looking for a larger home, etc., now is the best time to buy your dream home! Why? Because of problems in the real estate and mortgage industries home prices are down and inventory is at its all time high. Some of the problems are: fraud, shams, foreclosures, adjustable rate mortgage (arms), predatory lenders; not to mention the economy. Because of the above mentioned concerns a lot of people are selling or losing their homes.

The cost of a home in Detroit is close to the lowest in the country but you can find an affordable house everywhere you look, in almost any state. 2008 is definitely a buyer's market in Michigan. Let’s look at 3-critical issues in finding a home. We will concentrate on finding a home, the property, and financing.

FIND A HOME:
If you are looking for a local home in Detroit, Ferndale, Oak Park or nationally in California, New York, etc., there are many ways to find a great home at affordable prices. For example, find...
1. An investor who sells wholesale properties (buy houses in bulk and sale at a discount)
2. A real estate company that sell REO's (real estate owned by banks)
3. Real estate foreclosure lists
4. FSBO's (for sale by owner) lists

THE PROPERTY:
What to look for when finding your dream home.
1. Low sales price
2. Good neighborhood (location, location, location)
3. Homes on the market for a long time
4. Cosmetic repairs or ready to move-in condition
5. Amenities like fire place, deck, garage, finished basement
6. Other incentives and concessions

FINANCING:
What you should look for in financing are as follows:
1. 15 to 35% equity in the home (equity is the difference between what the home is worth & what you owe)
2. Seller’s help in paying closing cost
3. Seller's financing
4. Down payment assistance
5. Reasonable to low monthly payments
6. 100% financing [100% loan to value (LTV) program]
7. Seller take back a 2nd mortgage (80/20 program = seller hold a 2nd mortgage for 20% of the sales price)
