BEWARE OF RISING MORTGAGE INTEREST RATES!!
The current interest rate market has been kept low due to the continual purchase of mortgage back securities by the Federal Reserve to artificially keep rates low. (The Fed's demand for mortgage-based bonds is essentially pumping money into the market for mortgage financing, making it easier for lenders to provide credit.)
What does this mean if you are in the market to buy a home in the Pennsylvania real estate market?
What does this mean if want to to put your home for sale on the market in the near future?
Keep in mind that there will be another influx of first time home buyers and existing home buyers in the market over the next few months to take advantage of the current $8000 First Time Homebuyer Credit which expires on April 30, 2010. Basically the rule is you must be under contract by April 30, 2010 and settle on or before June 30, 2010.
This will hopefully lead to stability in the real estate price market for home sellers due to the increase of buyers and the increase demand. The Federal Reserve as of early January has shown no signs of creating any new changes in policy over at the least the first half of this year!
If you need assistance when Buying a Home or Selling your Home? Please call Bob Lambert at Coldwell Banker Hearthside at 215-519-9420.
Take advantage of my many years of experience and great customer service!!!

The Real Estate Double Negotiation!!!
In today's real estate world whether you are home buying or home selling; every transaction has two phases for which the parties of the transaction must negotiate. In a Pennsylvanian Real Estate transaction after you come to an agreement on price the transaction enters a second phase of inspections. Usually unless bought in 'AS-IS' condition the buyer is entitled to have the home inspected by a ASHI certified home inspector. The buyer will usually choose also to have the house looked at for wood destroying insects(termites and or carpenter ants) plus radon and mold are two more common tests done in the inspection process. When homes are older especially in Philadelphia Real Estate a lead paint test may be added.
The second phase of negotiation then begins after these inspections are completed. The Buyer(s) will give a reply to these inspections requesting commonly either a correction or credit from the Seller(s) any implied defects in the home they are buying. Once again the parties must negotiate to the satisfaction of both sides.
In my years as a Coldwell Banker agent this process will occasionally go smoothly or can delay or even interrupt the real estate home transaction. Never take the negotiation process personally!! Never take the negotiation process personally!! Your Real Estate Professional should assist through this process. Overall the process is a give and take!! Always look at the big picture and find the common ground! Many transactions in the home selling process are lost in this second phase of negotiation.
Once again this process can work out and usually does!! Hold on to your Buyer(s) keep in mind they would not have agreed to buy your home in the first place. Feel free to call Bob Lambert Realtor at 215-519-9420 or email me at boblambert@comcast.net with any questions!

DO IT NOW!!!

WHEN YOU BUY A HOME KNOW YOUR CLOSING COSTS!!
When you purchase a new home or go under contract in the state of Pennsylvania; your Realtor should and will review an estimate of closing cost. This will occur with any piece of Pennsylvania Real Estate. Aside from the mortgage fees which should be handled by a reputable mortgage company there are other closing costs to be aware of during the buying process.
PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX: As a Buyer in the purchase of your new home you are responsible for 1/2 of this tax at settlement. Except in Philadelphia Real Estate the state Transfer Tax is 1%. If purchasing in the city you will pay 2% of the contractual price. (ie. you purchase a $200,000 home the tax is $2000 or $4000 in the city of Philadelphia.
TITLE INSURANCE FEE: As a Buyer you have the choice of the Title Company you would like to use. Now most Real Estate Agencies such as Coldwell Banker will have a Title Company available for your convenience. But ultimately the decision is in the Buyer's hand. Title insurance rates are consistent throughout the state. If the home you are purchasing has been owned for less than 10 years you are entitled to what is know as a reissue rate. Please ask your real estate professional if the home you are purchasing might qualify.
Most Title Agencies will charge minor fees at settlement which should include notary fees, deed preparation, closing service letter, title endorsements, overnight shipping fees and possibly others. Always check with your real estate professional concerning these fees.
MISCELLANEOUS FEES: When you buy a home you also will have to pay for a Home Inspection, termite inspection, radon testing, lead paint testing, or even mold testing. All these fees are optional.
Most offices will charge a Broker Coordination Fee or Conveyancing Fee. This is a common practice. This fee should be charged(with in reason around $300) for the handling of your file by the Real Estate office Conveyancing Department. Though this fee will vary from office to office.
HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE POLICY: All mortgage companies will require at time of settlement a paid Home Owners Insurance Policy for one year. This is the Buyers responsibility to obtain from a reputable insurance agency.
PROPERTY TAXES AND ESCROWS: Be prepared at settlement to pay also at least one year property taxes on your new home. Keep in mind you must reimburse the current owner for taxes paid and the mortgage company at this time will set up your escrow account for future tax and home owner insurance premiums.
SELLER ASSISTANCE: If your contract includes seller's assist (up to 6% FHA, Unlimited VA, or up to 6% Conventional Mortgage) than the agreed upon amount by both parties in the Agreement of Sale will apply to the closing cost as mentioned above.
Finally included in the Mortgage Fees is INTERIM INTEREST. Every day the mortgage is alive on a piece of Pennsylvania Real Estate it accumalates a certain amount of interest to its next payment. As an example if you settle on a property June 21, 2009 your first mortgage payment will be due on August 1, 2009. The period between June 21, 2009 and June 30, 2009 is 10 days. If you interim interest is $40 a day then your interim interest would be $400 in the transaction. of course every transaction can be different.
Please be as thorough and aware of all possible fees when you go to settlement. The Realtor will supply you with a Buyer's Estimated Cost Sheet when you sign the Agreement of Sale and your Mortgage Company will also follow the Truth in Lending Rules and supply you with an estimated closing cost sheet at time of mortgage application. At settlement feel free to question any line on the HUD 1 settlement sheet before you sign!!
Purchasing a new home is an exciting time but it also is your money. Ask questions!! Get answers!!
