Buying a home in Acton, or anywhere, can be exciting, but you don’t want to rush into it. Making simple errors while going about the home-buying process can cause a lot of stress—both emotional and financial—for years to come. So, take some time to educate yourself about the common mistakes homebuyers make and your own home-buying experience will more likely be successful and exciting: 1. Going Over Budget Don’t borrow more than you can comfortably afford. For example, don’t get a 15-year mortgage with high monthly payments when a 30-year mortgage will give you more wiggle room. Otherwise, you’ll be strapped for money and unable to save as much as you want. A rule of thumb: Total monthly debts, including your mortgage, should not exceed 43% of your total pretax income. To figure out if ...

Don’t Forget These Costs When Buying an Acton Area Home You’ve crunched the mortgage calculators, estimated your tax payments, and taken a realistic look at how much house you can afford. You’ve stuck within your range when scouring the listings, being careful not to bust your budget. But there are more expenses involved in home buying than just the property costs. And those additional payments, if you don’t factor them in, can be high enough to derail your conscientious planning. Here’s what to keep in mind: Buying Costs You’ve got your mortgage pre-approved, but that’s not all you will need to fork over to get the keys to your new place. Services that need paying: Your buyer’s agent fee (often paid by seller, but sometimes not) An appraisal to confirm a reasonable market price for th...

AFFORDABILITY OPTIONS FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS Prospective first-time homebuyers face several challenges, including the need for a down payment and the financial stability to qualify for a home loan. While home prices and affordability vary from one market to another, individual buyers must find a balance between what they can comfortably afford and what they want in their first home, especially in this Acton real estat market. Know Your Market Before you decide on a particular home type or a specific neighborhood, you need to get an idea of the price range of homes in your area. Most buyers begin their search for a home online and then contact a REALTOR® who can help them focus their priorities. Many buyers start looking for a home based on their commute to work or a specific school d...

What is a "buyer's agent" in real estate?  A buyers agent is authorized to act in the best interests of a client and is obligated to place the client's interests before those of any other parties, including the agent's own interests. With increased education among both real estate professionals and consumers, buyer representation has grown to the extent that based on recent NAR research, nearly 60 percent of buyers work with a buyer's agent. The services provided by a buyer's representative include: Counseling: Assistance in acquiring and interpreting information about the property and its condition as well as advice about financing options. Negotiating: Development of a realistic offer and a negotiation strategy. Managing the transaction: Guidance through the process and paperwork to e...

2013 has been a very busy year for home sellers in Acton.  236 single family homes sold this past year, which is nearly 10% more than sold in 2012.   Buyers’ market, sellers’ market, and balanced market are real estate terms that are used to define month’s supply of inventory with regard to who has the advantage in a sales transaction.  This number is based on the current number of homes for sale in a given market and the past absorption rate.  Typically, a seller’s market offers buyers up to 4 month’s supply of inventory.  The seller has the advantage in this situation because there are fewer homes for sale than there are buyers looking for them.  The increased demand with lower inventory levels leads to shorter list time, multiple offers, and, in some cases, homes selling above list p...

So the market’s recovering, interest rates are low, and you think you’re finally ready to buy a home? Not so fast. Buyers across the country are running into a new roadblock: there don’t seem to be enough homes for sale. Anyone who has looked at entry- to mid-level homes for sale in our Acton neighborhoods probably knows what I mean. Mortgage rates remain near historic lows, and as the prices of homes for sale continue to milely rise, fears that we could soon see a repetition of a real estate equity loss seem increasingly unlikely.   Why the lack of inventory? There are several reasons. Buyers may be ready to buy again, but somesellers are still not in a position to offer their Acton home for sale. When the housing market collapsed seven years ago, some homeowners’ equity loss was such ...
