Home Inspections: Money Well Spent

Since buying a home is one of the most important investment decisions you will make in your lifetime, it makes sound financial sense to enlist the services of a qualified home inspection company.

One of the only times I’ve ever had a buyer have foundation/water trouble with a basement was from a buyer who rejected my suggestion of having a home inspection.

No matter how handy or mechanically minded you are, your money is well spent on a home inspection who is specifically looking at the structural and mechanical soundness of your home. Their job is to identify existing and potential problem areas, suggest practical solutions, and provide estimates regarding costs for any work required.

By hiring a home inspector before you close on your new home, you’re protecting yourself, your investment, and you’re buying a little peace-of-mind.

MI Real Estate Answers: How Can I Get What My Home Is Worth?

Q. I want to move to a bigger house but every agent I talk to tells me I won’t get what I want. It’s not that I “want” it, I need it be able to make a move.

A. If you’re serious about selling, better to price where the market is selling rather than ‘chase the market down’, by continuing to reduce your price. This usually results in a longer time on the market plus a perception by buyers that there is something ‘wrong’ with your house because it has been on the market so long.

That said, you can ask whatever you want for your home. The rub comes after you’ve found a willing and able buyer ready to pay your price because your home needs to appraise for the selling price. Appraisers will use the very same comparable homes that the agents have shown you.

Remember, the beauty of this market is that although you’ll take a hit on your home, you’ll also be paying a lower price for your new home!
