Lake of the Ozarks Real Estate Q and A – Purchasing a Home vs. Renting

June 30, 2010 By Becky Bridgman

Q:  We have been planning to buy our first home for some time now.  Our concern is that we don’t have the time to take on such a responsibility.  Should we wait until we have more personal time?

A:  Though renting is perceived to be less of a commitment, the benefits of homeownership are abundant.  Tax deductions that you would not otherwise be eligible for are a welcome bonus.  Deductions for mortgage interest paid and a percentage of the cost of home repairs and improvements are among the tax benefits of homeownership. 

Another important aspect of owning a home is the investment that you are making in your future.  While rent payments are rarely recouped, your mortgage payments are building equity.  The improvements you make to your home add value to your investment, thus increasing your equity. 

Among first time home buyers are young couples busy with budding careers or professionals who have been required to relocate while climbing the ladder of success.  A condo is the perfect choice for this particular group of buyers.  With a busy schedule you’re not likely to have time for lawn and general exterior maintenance of a home.  A condo affords you the advantage of owning a home without the responsibility of exterior maintenance.

There are many aspects to consider when making a choice between purchasing a condo or a single family residence.  Many condo developments offer amenities such as pools, clubhouses and tennis courts; luxuries that few first time home buyers are prepared to finance when purchasing a single family home.  Busy careers, starting a family or the financial need to invest are among the many factors to be considered when deciding which type of home to buy.  If you are financially prepared to become a homeowner, buying instead of renting is a clear cut choice.

Lake of the Ozarks Real Estate Q and A – How to Price a Home

June 23, 2010 By Becky Bridgman

Lake-of-the-Ozarks-Real-Estate-Home-RealtorQ:  We are getting ready to put our home on the market and have had several realtors tell us what they think it is worth.  To make sure we get top dollar for our home shouldn’t we price it much higher than that to begin with?

A:  Pricing a home well above its value can be a very bad strategy.  The first 30 to 60 days that a property is on the market are crucial.  It is in those first days that opinions will be formed by real estate professionals and buyers.  Experienced buyer’s agents previewing homes for their clients are not likely to give priority to a home that is grossly overpriced thus diminishing the exposure to your home. 

It is important to remember that today’s consumers are more educated and are more likely to have done their homework before entering the real estate market.  These savvy consumers are looking for value in a home that is priced correctly.  The more outlandish the price the less likely the seller will be taken seriously.  An interested buyer may form the opinion, based on the price, that you had no real intention of selling your home and forego even making an offer.

The longer your home is on the market the more questions your potential buyers will have about the property, trying to ascertain why the home hasn’t sold.  Two questions buyers usually ask are; 1)  Why are they selling?  2) How long has the home been on the market?  Your home  may be in perfect condition with absolutely no questionable qualities, but over pricing may still cause you problems.  Because of a lengthy stay on the market, due to over pricing, you may open the door for potential buyers to foster reservations and doubt regarding your home.

Pricing your home correctly is key to being taken seriously without reservation.  A well informed buyer who is interested in your property is more likely to respect your sensible asking price and make a serious offer.  A reasonable offer received early on generally translates into fewer days on the market. 

To compete in today’s real estate market a seller must be as informed as the buyer.  Take the time to form a relationship with a real estate professional that you trust and do your homework.  The time spent with your realtor can mean less time your home spends on the market.
