Beckett Ridge Homes For Sale Archives

What is Tuesday Open House?? Well, it’s clearly not an “open house”. Open Houses don’t sell homes… good internet marketing does… but it seemed like a good title for this weekly blog post.

It is my way of throwing the doors open on the RealEstate-Ink.com blog and offering up a few quick articles and facts on real estate for the West Chester, Liberty Township, Beckett Ridge, Mason and Fairfield Township, Ohio areas. It is not intended to be all about homes for sale, but it will be about that some of the time…

Beckett Ridge Homeowners Association: The Board for the Beckett Ridge Homeowners Association has presented to the homeowners of Beckett Ridge a revised set of Declarations and Code of Conduct for their approval. Each parcel in the Beckett Ridge Association will have one vote in this approval process. The interesting fact with this vote is that the board has decided based on their legal counsel’s opinion that if you do not submit a ballot, your ballot will be counted for the resolution. What this means is the resolution is almost guaranteed to pass as a huge majority of the homeowners will not vote. They never do. Your ballot must be received by July 28th, 2010 for it to count. You can find out more about this very important resolution and ballot here >>Beckett Ridge Homeowners Association

Buying a home: If you are currently in the process of buying a home and getting a mortgage don’t buy anything. According to the New York Times Fannie Mae has started requiring lenders to recheck a borrower’s finances shortly before closing the loan. If a broker or lender finds significant changes, the loan could be delayed, or in some cases, denied. For years now we have cautioned borrowers against charging up their credit cards or changing jobs before the closing date on a home loan, but now this advice seems especially prudent.

West Chester & Liberty Twp OH Real Estate: Tuesday Open House

June 8, 2010 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

It’s Tuesday, so this must be the Tuesday Open House.

What is Tuesday Open House?? Well, it’s clearly not an “open house”. Open Houses don’t sell homes… good internet marketing does… but it seemed like a good title for this weekly blog post.

Mortgage Interest Rates: The tax credits are gone and if you are looking for a reason to buy a home, look no further. Thirty year fixed rate mortgages are 4.60% today according to Third Federal Savings. This is amazing. Just look at this example of what these low rates really mean:

$200,000 mortgage amount @ 5.50% = $1135.58 monthly principal & interest payment

$200,000 mortgage amount @ 4.60% = $1025.29 monthly principal & interest payment

This example shows a monthly savings of $110 on your mortgage payment and this is compared to a mortgage interest rate of 5.50% which is a historically low rate itself!

West Chester & Liberty Township OH Real Estate: Look Carefully, Buying A Home is A Big Purchase

June 3, 2010 by Eric Lowry

Looking for a new home is not like shopping for a new pair of shoes, it is one of the most important purchases that a person will make in his lifetime and should be approached with an examining eye. While it is true that it is easy to search homes for sale and fall in love with it on one’s own, the benefits of using an experienced top selling Realtor are many and can save a home buyer a great deal of unwarranted pain and money in the long run.

There are a few things to realize and remember as a both a first time home buyer and a veteran home buyer. A Realtor will not only help you negotiate a price for a home but will also help you along every step of the process which will include getting a whole house and termite inspection, radon testing, mortgage financing and the title process among other things.

While a buyer may have his heart set on a particular home for sale, a top selling Realtor will make sure that the buyer is taking all of the most important factors into account and knows exactly what they are buying so that there are no surprises come closing day and move in day.
