Know Your Credit Score

If you plan to obtain a mortgage, then knowing your credit score is extremely important as it will be used to help determine your mortgage eligibility and rate. If you have a low credit score, then you may want to work on improving it before you apply for a mortgage. If your credit score is high, then try not to do anything to compromise it such as opening new accounts or forgetting to make payments.

Set a Budget

It is important to determine how much of a monthly payment you wish to make on a home before you start to look.  Sit down and really look at your income and expenses then set a maximum budget amount for buying a home.

Research Areas to Live

You will want to do some research on the area(s) you wish to live.  What are the average property taxes?  Will you be in a flood zone?  What are the average homeowner’s insurance rates?  What school district would you be zoned for?  What is rush hour traffic like?  These are all questions that can be answered to help you rule in and rule out areas to live.

The Florida real estate market is hot right now.  Our Tampa seller agents, Orlando seller agents, and South Florida seller agents are seeing homes going under contract within 24 hours of listing.  With real estate offers at an all-time high, more and more buyers are wanting to put in backup offers.  A backup offer is an offer that is made on a home or piece of property that already has an offer in place.  Sellers often accept backup offers as a contingency should their primary offer fall through. Here are some aspects to consider before accepting a backup offer.

Make Sure You Are Comfortable With The Price

You need to ensure you are comfortable with the backup offer before accepting it because should the primary deal fall through, your backup offer may contractually become your new primary offer.

You Can Accept More Than One Backup Offer

It has happened.  A primary buyer does not qualify for the loan and the backup buyer falls through.  You may accept as many backup offers as you wish, however, it is advisable that you are up front and honest with all interested parties as outlined below.

Be Honest and Up Front

If you have accepted multiple backup offers, be sure to advise them of where they stand.  Let them know if there are any offers ahead of theirs before any paperwork is drawn up.

We are continuing our series on upgrades to consider that add value and appeal to your home.  The staff at One Percent Guys Full Service Real Estate Agents® has seen an increase in home sales throughout the greater Tampa Bay and Orlando areas. Our Tampa listing agents and Orlando listing agents report that homes with contemporary style upgrades are in demand and selling for a higher price than those that do not have modern amenities.  Our previous article covered outdoor spaces.  This article will offer some tips on updating your kitchen.

Opening Up the Space

Kitchens in older homes are often behind walls.  Modern kitchens are spacious and open. 

Walk-in Pantry and Expanded Cabinet Storage

You can never have too much pantry or cabinet space!  Often times, opening up the kitchen allows room to re-design the pantry and cabinets for additional storage.

Island

Kitchen islands are trending, particularly because they offer additional counter space for food prep.

Modern Appliances

Modern appliances with smart features are desired by many homeowners. In fact, when a kitchen does not have modern appliances, potential home buyers often ask for an appliance upgrade allowance.

Our next article will cover more home upgrades to consider.
