Is Real Estate All About Location, Location, Location?

Greg Afarian — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 20:01:31 +0000

You always hear Real Estate Professionals talk about it all being about location when it comes to a great property. Recently, I feel as though that theory should be thrown out the door. Here is my reason. I have a listing which is in a phenomenal area. Its a big colonial, in its own subdivision set aside from all the hustle and bustle of drive through traffic. Its close to everything… Downtown, highways, shopping center, and schools. For that family looking for a nice place, it has a walking path to the Franklin Elementary School. (no need to worry about your kid falling subject to those horrible bus rides all over town) It boasts 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a 24 x 20 fire-placed family room, living and dining room, large kitchen, finished basement and a heated gunite pool with whirlpool.

But, there is a catch…. The house needs some personal cosmetic touches. It’s not like anyone buys a home these days without expecting to do anything but move in right? But, according to this article from NAR and the Washington Post 87% of 1st time buyers want a move in ready place. The article continues to say that they could be losing out on great opportunities! http://www.realtor.org/RMODaily.nsf/pages/News2011030804?OpenDocument

I really think this is true. Out of all the people I have talked to looking to buy over the last few months, I would have to say at least 80% of them don’t want to fix up a place. What ever happened to sweat equity? I feel like our whole country has gotten lazy! No matter what you buy, there is always gonna be something you are going to want to do and make your own personal touches to make it feel like your own. In this houses case, if nothing needed to be done you would have to spend $600,000 to get into this neighborhood. I personally like the challenge and would rather build my equity than having to pay for it up front! Give me your thoughts… Come by my open house and let me know what you think…..

The Time to Buy is NOW! Real Estate in Andover & North Andover!

Greg Afarian — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 00:21:53 +0000

The time to buy is now! Before rates go up and inflation becomes an issue, buyers should seriously think about the opportunity to lock into a low rate which are at historic lows before they go up. A .50% to 1.0% rate increase could mean that now you don’t qualify for as much house. It would also mean that your payment would go up by a few hundred dollars and that’s never fun! Its a buyers market so as the weather starts getting nicer around here we are sure to see more properties go under agreement as smart buyers will be sure not to miss out on this advantage.

Please let me know if you have any questions on this property or any other in the area… I would love to show you why I’m the person you need to use the next time you buy or sell!

The Worst Time to Sell is the BEST Time to Buy!

Winters in New England are brutal! Boston has already gotten more that 50 inches of snow for the month of January and that isn’t even a record! But, when it comes to Real Estate it seems that alot of buyers forget that the best time to buy is the worst time to sell.
