Whether you are selling your home or you are looking to buy a home, there are a few things that you need to know to help your home inspection go as well as it possibly can. Home buyers need to know that the house they are buying is in good shape and home sellers need to be on the up and up when selling their home. When it comes to home inspections there are a few tips that can help the inspection go smoothly and the process be as stress free as possible.
If you are selling your home and you have a home inspection on the schedule, do your part to make it easy on the inspector by getting your pets out of the house while he or she is doing the inspection. Your home inspector may love and adore animals as much as you do but your pets being under their feet during the inspection will not make the job any easier.
During a home inspection, typically the potential buyers are inside alone with the inspector and they may want to look around to take one last look at things before making a final decision. If you want to make a good impression on those potential buyers, you may want to clean up the clutter you have left laying around. Believe it or not clutter can cause a potential home buyer to walk away without making an offer.
As a homebuyer don’t freak out if the home inspector comes up with a list of things that need to be taken care of in the house. You need to realize that most houses have some sort of upkeep or maintenance that needs to be taken care of and that inspector’s are known for being nit-picky. Realize too that most everything can be fixed. Even the dreaded mold and radon. Realize as well that home inspectors cannot predict the future and won’t be able to tell you how long something will last; they will just be able to tell you that it needs attention.
Hopefully these tips will help you out the next time you have a home inspector coming to your home, whether you are selling or buying. Remember that the home inspector is there to help you not to harm you or to ruin your dreams.

Summer is almost here and there are ways to “bring the beach” into your home with you so to speak by decorating in a beach theme. Let’s take a look at a few easy ways in which to make your home feel like you are at the beach. You don’t have to spend a ton of money to make your home feel breezy and beautiful just like the beach.
One of the easiest and most economical ways to make your home feel like you’re living in a tropical oasis is by painting the entire inside of the home a color from the palette of the sea. A nice blue green is a great option if you want to bring the beach home with you.
Another great way to beach theme your home is to find old items from the beach on your next beach trip to decorate your house with. These can be things such as the obvious, sea shells but they can also be such things as old floats, coral or driftwood that you find when you’re on your next vacation. Realizing that you don’t need a lot of money to decorate in a beach theme will help you to know that you don’t have to purchase new items to get the job done right.
Yet another good way to bring the beach home with you is to decorate your bedroom with beach style linens. These kinds of linens don’t have to cost a lot of money as typically this time of year they are going on sale because they are starting to put out winter items.
A good way to get some inspiration of how to decorate in a beach theme is to check out books on the topic or to look online for a few ideas. This way you can get going in the right direction and figure out your plan in your head before you begin the transformation process.
It’s my guess that once you get your home decorated in a beach theme you may not want to leave for work in the morning. The beach is a very peaceful place and your home should reflect that same peace and calm so that when you come home each day you can unwind and relax.

As a seller, you will be most concerned about ‘short term price’ – where home values are headed over the next six months. As either a first-time or repeat buyer, you must not be concerned only about price but also about the ‘long term cost’ of the home.
Let us explain.
There are many factors that influence the ‘cost’ of a home. Two of the major ones are the home’s appreciation over time, and the interest rate at which a buyer can borrow the funds necessary to purchase their home. The rate at which these two factors can change is often referred to as “The Cost of Waiting”.
What will happen over the next 12 months?
According to CoreLogic’s latest Home Price Index, prices are expected to rise by 5.5% by this time next year. Additionally, Freddie Mac’s most recent Economic Commentary & Projections Table predicts that the 30-year fixed mortgage rate will appreciate to 4.5% in that same time.
What Does This Mean to a Buyer?
Here is a simple demonstration of what impact these projected changes would have on the mortgage payment of a home selling for approximately $250,000 today:

Just like our clocks this weekend in the majority of the country, the housing market will soon “spring forward!” Similar to tension in a spring, the lack of inventory available for sale in the market right now is what is holding back the market. Many potential sellers believe that waiting until Spring is in their best interest, and traditionally they would have been right. Buyer demand has seasonality to it, which usually falls off in the winter months, especially in areas of the country impacted by arctic temperatures and conditions.
That hasn’t happened this year.
Demand for housing has remained strong as mortgage rates have remained near historic lows. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently reported that the top 10 dates sellers listed their homes in 2015 all fell in April, May or June. Those who act quickly and list now could benefit greatly from additional exposure to buyers prior to a flood of more competition coming to market in the next few months.
Bottom Line
If you are planning on selling your home in 2016, meet with a local real estate professional to evaluate the opportunities in your market.

Owning a home of your very own is exciting and is the American dream. You should know however that when applying for a mortgage you need to be as honest as possible so that your dreams are not crushed at the last minute. Below are a few tips on what not to say when you are applying for a home mortgage. You may think that a little white lie won’t get you into trouble when applying for a home mortgage but what most people don’t realize is that you will likely get caught in that lie and may end up not getting approved after all. Also the penalties for such lies can be quite severe such as a 30 year prison sentence and a million dollar fine.
If you don’t plan to live in the home in which you are getting a mortgage but rather you plan to rent the property out do NOT apply for a mortgage as your primary residence. Default rates are higher on investment properties than they are on primary residences. Down payments are larger on investment properties as well. These are some of the reasons why folks try to lie about using the mortgage as their primary residence.
Lying about how much money you make to get a home mortgage is also a no-no. If you try to lie about your income for the purposes of getting a better home mortgage you are very likely to get caught because your lender is going to verify your income by looking at your w-2’s as well as your tax returns.
If you don’t have enough money for the down payment on your new home, you CAN borrow it from a family member or friend but if you do this you need to be sure to have the paperwork that supports the fact that it is a gift that you don’t have to repay otherwise it is considered a loan and the mortgage company will need to know about it. This little white lie may seem harmless but it isn’t and it can get you into trouble with your mortgage lender.
Basically, tell the truth about any and everything your mortgage lender asks you. If you want to have part of the American dream by owning your own home, don’t destroy the dream by lying. Once you get your mortgage and you move into your new home you will be glad you did everything the right way and that you don’t have to worry about anything coming back on you in the future.
