What was your expeirence working with Joy Daniels?
"It was perfect, from day one until we sold the house, our agent was excellent. Everything he told us, he said we would sell our house within two or three days and we did. Everything just went perfectly. We got the amount we wanted for our house, and we didn't have any problems at all. Any questions we had, we contacted our agent and it was just perfect. No matter what paperwork, anything like that. If we had any questions about anything. Now we had a homeowner's association, and we had to get a letter from them saying we were moving out. Our agent did all that for us. We didn't have to do that. He was really right on the ball, doing everything we needed to have done. It was just perfect. I would recommend Joy Daniels to anybody. In fact, I've already done that with a couple people that I've talked to. We've had other real estate companies, but this one was just a ten. That's all I can say, it was perfect."
If you are debating on whether to purchase a home right now or not, you are probably getting a lot of advice through your friends and family. Of course they have your best interests at heart, but they may not be fully aware of your needs and how that coincides with what’s going on in the real estate market.
There is a common list of questions that every buyer should ask, but these three questions in particular will help you determine if now is actually a good time to buy.
1. Why are you buying in the first place? This is the most basic question, but it’s also the most important. For a lot of people, buying has nothing to do with money. Maybe you just want a place to raise your children or a place where you can have more space. The answer to this question should be the biggest reason you are buying.
Values are projected to increase by 5.3% over the next 12 months.
2. Where are home values headed? Values are projected to increase by 5.3% over the next 12 months. If you’re planning on buying a home that costs $250,000 today, that same home will cost you an additional $13,250 if you wait until next year. You’ll have a higher down payment as well.
3. Where are mortgage interest rates headed? Buyers should be concerned about more than pricing. The long-term cost of a home can be dramatically impacted by even a small increase in rates. They are projected to increase over the next 12 months, so you need to know what you can afford with current rates and what you’ll be able to afford when they inevitably go up.
The bottom line is that only you and your family will know for certain if now is the right time to purchase a home. Answering these questions will help you make that decision. If you have any questions for us or are thinking about buying or selling, give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you.
There are a variety of opportunities out there in the central Pennsylvania market for both buyers and sellers. Today, however, we’re focusing specifically on the sellers. We have an exciting announcement for you.
We will be hosting a free home seller seminar on Thursday, February 23rd at the Greater Harrisburg Association of Realtors located at 424 Enola Drive in Enola.
The seminar will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and I’ll have a home inspector, an appraiser, and a home stager all there to help answer questions. My goal is to help you navigate our current market. There can be a lot of confusion when selling in this market because of all the complexities involved.
I’ll give you the tools and resources to succeed.
If you’re looking to sell your home in the future or are frustrated because other homes are selling and yours isn’t, this is the seminar for you. I will give you the tools, resources, and information needed to make the best decisions for your biggest investment. I will also share important steps to help your real estate goals, help you identify your and your agent’s roles, and help you make the sale. I’ll also tell you everything you need to know about the market, marketing strategies, and how to prepare your home.
At the end of the seminar, you will also have the opportunity to ask me and my guests a few questions. If you’ve been considering selling at all, now is the time to put it on the market. However, the first step is getting informed. We look forward to seeing you at our free home seller seminar.
