Do I need a home inspection on a new construction houseDo I need a home inspection on a new construction house?

Many people skip getting a home inspection on their new construction house because they mistakenly think there isn’t anything wrong with it since it’s “brand new”. However, that’s not wise – especially when this is likely the largest purchase most people will ever make!

Surprisingly enough, sometimes the home inspector’s longest reports are on new construction homes. So you should absolutely get a home inspection done on your new home!

Plus a home inspection isn’t just for finding defects, it’s for buyers to learn all about their new home. The inspector will walk you through your home and teach you all about it as they do their inspection. It’s also a great opportunity to ask any specific questions you may have.

All in all, a home inspection is well worth the money and peace of mind!

Need a great home inspector recommendation? The Lowry Team has over 16 years of real estate experience and can confidently refer you to the best! Call or text 513-368-3751

New Kroger Marketplace Coming to West Chester

New Kroger Marketplace Coming to West Chester

Big news for West Chester residents! A new Kroger Marketplace is headed to West Chester. The new store will be built on the southeast corner of Ohio 747 and Tylersville Road.

Plans include a 130,263 square-foot Kroger store, a fueling station, and 15,00 square feet of other retail space. The whole retail project is set to be called the Crossings of Beckett.  A second phase of the development will include 63,000 square feet of retail and office space.

Many residents will be happy to hear this news as the Kroger currently located in that part of town is quite small and outdated. However, some controversy surrounds the project as it has spent the last two years undergoing court action and disagreements between developers, the township, and property owners when the trustees initially rejected the zone change. Final court approval is expected at a March 9th hearing.

What you need to know about buying a house this Spring

What you need to know about buying a house this Spring

Spring is house hunting season. The months of April, May, and June are generally the busiest in real estate, and account for around 40% of all home sales for the year. And this Spring, sellers definitely have the advantage.

Inventory is Low

Currently, housing inventory is extremely low. There is a 2.5 month inventory of homes for sale. A 6 month inventory level is considered a balanced market. Anything under 6 months worth of inventory is considered to be an undersupply, favoring home sellers as opposed to favoring home buyers.

Home Prices Are Rising 

The Home Price Expectation Survey polls a distinguished panel of over 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts. Their most recent report projects home values to appreciate by more than 3.2% a year for the next 5 years.

Home prices in our area have risen over the last year by 3.06%. Home prices are on a steady rise; and are expected to continue to increase.

In addition, the homes in our area are selling at 97.95% of list price. This means that homes are selling very close to list price. So if you really love the house and don’t want to lose out to another buyer, you must make a very strong offer. Trying to make a low ball offer in this market is not going to work.

Homes Are Selling Fast

Not only is there a very low supply of houses for sale, but buyer demand is high. You will have a lot of competition for just a few houses, which means the houses are selling very fast. Homes that are in good condition and are priced right, are selling in just days. Sometimes even within just hours! So be prepared to act fast!

When a new listing comes on the market that interests you, it’s important that you contact your Realtor right away so you can view the home as soon as possible. If you wait a few days to go see it, it likely will have already sold.

Mortgage Rates Are At Historic Lows

This month the average 30-year fixed rate conventional mortgage fell from 3.72% to 3.65% which is its lowest point in the last 10 months. The average on a 15-year fixed rate also slid to 2.95%.

The interest rate on an FHA loan currently sits at 3.38%. A VA loan interest rate right now is 3.5%.

While these are fantastic interest rates, it’s important to realize that they won’t last. In fact, experts predict that interest rates will rise over the next four quarters by an average of 0.5%. That increase may not seem like much, but it will significantly affect the amount of home you can afford to buy.

What You Need To Do

Get Competitive – You need to prepare yourself to be competitive in the housing market. That means you must be prepared to make a strong offer when you find the right house, and get it submitted quickly.

In addition to making a strong offer price, you must also be prepared to provide a pre-approval letter with your offer. A pre-approval letter strengthens your offer because it shows the seller that you have the financial capability to purchase the home. So it’s imperative you choose the right lender and get pre-approved before looking at homes.
