Buying the first home you see?

The average home buyer will look at 15 homes before they pick one and make an offer. Some people know exactly what they are looking for and others are unsure and figure it out at as they go. If the first home you look at is your dream home, then by all means make an offer on it before somebody else does. If you are unsure of what exactly you are looking for, then continue looking and narrowing down your list of homes that will work for you. Some people just know when they have found their new home, whether it’s the first home or last one that they are shown.

Moving on or adding on?

A crossroad that many home owners face when they have outgrown their current home is to either buy a bigger home or add-on/remodel their existing home. First and foremost, is how will you pay for the addition vs. buying a new home. Do you have the cash in the bank or other sources to pay for an addition, or perhaps a home equity loan? If you decide to buy a new home, do you have enough money for the down payment & closing costs? Will you have to sell your current home first before you can buy another? Will it be cheaper to add on or to buy another home with the features you desire? Contact Crane & Associates Realty to help you analyze your situation and select the best option for you.

The American Dream!

One of the great freedoms we enjoy in America is the opportunity to pursue the American Dream of owning a home.

We continue to enjoy those freedoms today because of the sacrifices made by the men, women & families of our armed services. Now is the perfect time to pursue your dream of owning a home, interest rates are at historic lows and home inventories are up. Have a safe & fun 4th and show your support for our troops!
