First on the list of houses to view this morning was my listing at 1208 Washington Ave So., Long Beach.  A great 4 bedroom home walking distance to everything in Long Beach, including the beach!  $279,795.

After that, we visited a cute cabin in Long Beach, west side; a like-new home with huge shop in Vandalia (Ilwaco); a Windward Passage condo that would make a great vacation home or vacation rental, or both; a vintage home north of Long Beach; a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home on 1.5 acres; and a custom beach home with mean high tide ownership.

You can view the brief report here: 

According to the Northwest Multiple Listing Service “Closed sales also outgained year-ago totals. December’s completed transactions were up 7 percent from twelve months ago, rising from 4,430 closings to 4,741. Six counties registered double-digit gains (Grays Harbor, Jefferson, Pacific, Pierce, San Juan, and Snohomish).”

Does that mean we’re going to see prices go up, inventory go down, and mortgage rates start to climb?  Maybe.  It’s probably the number one question every Realtor hears, every day.  If I only had a crystal ball….

Enjoy the crisp, winter weather if you live here at the beach.  The sunrises have been incredible!

How do you avoid this situation?  Ask for referrals from your friends and associates.  Ask if they’ve dealt with a broker they felt treated them fairly and honestly, whether they were a buyer or seller.  Referrals are as good as gold and probably the broker is too!  Discovery Coast Real Estate is lucky to be on the receiving end of referrals several times a month and that’s what keeps us going when times are tough.  This is a big thank you to those of you who have referred us to your friends and families!

And now that you’ve selected that lucky representative, how can you make your house “FHA Loan Friendly”?  This handy flyer might help: FHA Flyer.  As always, your real estate broker should be able to help so take advantage of their expertise!

And Buyers, I’m thinking about you too.  You need a broker (agent) that will be looking out for your best interests, showing you all the homes that fit your needs regardless of which agency has the listing.  They will be prepared with all the info you need about the homes you’ll be looking at.  They will know how much you qualify since they will want you to talk to a lender before you start searching for a home.  If you haven’t done this, you’re not only wasting your time, your agent’s time and the sellers’ time but you may be disappointed when you find the house of your dreams and can’t get financing!  This can be devastating to your home buying enthusiasm. 

Ask yourself these questions and then hustle yourself to the lender of choice.  (Your broker may have recommendations based on his/her experiences with different lenders.  Beware of those that seem “too good to be true”.)

Questions:  How much money do you have in savings?  You’re going to need funds for a down payment, closing costs, inspection, etc.  If you think you qualify for down payment assistance, do you have 3.5% of the sales price of a home set aside?  Do you have family that would be willing to make a down payment gift?  There are so many different programs out there!    How’s your credit score?  Now more than ever this will affect your ability to borrow money.  (Just for fun - video about saving)

Once you’ve confirmed that you have what you need and you’ve contacted a lender to be pre-qualified, start working on your wish list!  You know what your budget is (pre-qualification) so figure out how to spend it!  3 bedrooms a must?  Need granite counters?  Garage?  Certain neighborhood or access to public transportation?  While the list will be very helpful, don’t rule out looking at homes that don’t meet all your requirements.  That two bedroom home may have a den; the counters might be ready for an upgrade anyway; the carport might be huge!  Keep an open mind and open eyes.  Pour out your heart to your agent and see what comes up.

Patience is a virtue  (The ability to wait for something without excessive frustration is a valuable character trait).  This is an unusual market for both Sellers and Buyers.  Mortgage interest is extremely low but lender requirements are stringent.  Sellers, the Buyers are out there but inventory is high, giving them a lot to compare your home to.  How does it stack up?  What incentives can you offer to make it stand out from the crowd?

And finally, remember to seek expert advice!  We’re looking out for you at Discovery Coast Real Estate!  Start your search online (84% of buyers do).

Interest rates are at a historic low, inventory is high and sellers are motivated.  Discovery Coast Real Estate can help you find just the right property at the right terms.  Visit our site, sign up for updates, contact one of our Brokers, get started on your future!
