Spring is here!
The Spring Real Estate Market is thriving, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for homes in Voorhees, especially from millennials.
In fact, the current absorption rate in our area is only 3 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, we will only be able to sustain the current demand for up to 3 months.
This is great news for anyone considering selling their home, as the high demand can lead to a boost in your bottom line.
If you are thinking about selling your home, now is the perfect time to do so. To get started, it's essential to focus on your curb appeal, which can significantly impact the value of your property. That's why we've put together a helpful checklist to help you get started.
Friendly reminder: Before you make a repair, be sure to check with a real estate agent to make sure it is worth your return on investment. Feel free to Book A Call with me if you have any questions or want a free consultation!

First Step
The first step when looking to buy a home is getting qualified for a loan.
- Before doing anything else you need to know what you can afford by getting qualified for a loan
- Don’t go house hunting before going mortgage shopping
Pre-Qualification
- Pre-Qualification is not a true approval but the initial step in a home loan process where you discuss your financial situation with a loan officer - nothing is verified
- Pre- Approval is where the buyer provides the lender with the necessary documents to tell them what they are approved for, which loan option is the best for them and what the interest rate will be
Once you find your dream home, we need to make sure you get to move into it.
- Don’t change jobs; becoming self employed or quit current job
- Don’t buy a vehicles
-
Don’t use any charged cards or let your accounts fall behind
-
Don’t spend money you saved for closing
-
Don’t omit any debt or liabilities from your loan application
- Pro: Your wealth can increase as you build equity in your home through 2023 averaging about 3%
- Con: Maintenance costs; work and money to keep a home in good condition
- There are various loans and grants to qualify to purchase a home
- Make sure you offered a competitive price on a home
- Put down a larger earnest money deposit
- Let the seller know that you have not written offers on any other properties
Once your offer has been accepted, it's time to open up escrow.
- It's time to get inspections done on the home, review disclosures, secure the loan, and get the appraisal done
