After several years of skyrocketing house prices in the greater Boston
area, the market has finally turned. Home prices have slowly come back to earth and buyers now have an edge over sellers when negotiating the cost of a home. However, with a real estate market still inundated with overpriced houses, it's important that buyers have a professional to assist them in what may be the most important purchase of their lives.
There are a number of factors to consider when preparing to purchase a home. While price is certainly a major factor, it should not necessarilly be the only one. While there is no universal guide that determines a specific criteria, there are some basic rules to follow. Start by contacting a licensed realtor who can assist you with your search. A professional with a feel for the local housing market can be an invaluable resource that can assist you with locating a home that meets your needs and making an offer that is both fair and reasonable. Keep in mind that buyers set the market and bidding too high can cost you thousands of dollars that could have been saved if a knowledgeable real estate professional had assisted with the negotiation. It's also important to determine how much you are comfortable spending on a home. What you can afford depends on Income, downpayment, credit rating and current debt. A mortgage lender can advise you in this area as well as guide you through the loan pre-arroval process. Remember, a seller is more likely to accept an offer from a buyer that is pre-approved.
