What you should know about the Vallejo Real Estate Market
When beginning the house hunt, some buyers go in blindly, not knowing how much house they can afford. Without this knowledge, buyers may find themselves viewing houses that aren't within their budget. To prevent buyers from spending time viewing homes they may not be able to afford, I advise home buyers to get pre-approved by a lender before house hunting. By providing copies of a recent credit report, pay stubs, and bank and brokerage statements to a lender, buyers will have a better idea of the price range they can afford.
I recommend home buyers create long-term budgets to help create guidelines for affordable mortgage payments and long-term homeownership costs. Most experts advise clients to devote no more than 30 percent of their monthly household income toward housing costs, which should include mortgage principal, interest, taxes and insurance. There are numerous worksheets available online to help consumers calculate how their income, debts, and expenses may affect the amount they can afford each month for the next 15 to 30 years.
The California Mortgage Relief Program
For struggling Vallejo CA homeowners, there is a program called "California Mortgage Relief Program" which has already provided millions of dollars in critical assistance to thousands of California homeowners struggling with financial hardships. This program is free there is nothing to pay back, if you’ve struggled with missed mortgage payments, late property taxes, loan referrals, partial claims, or other homeowner financial hardships, you may qualify for assistance from the California Mortgage Relief Program. https://camortgagerelief.org/
Selling your Vallejo CA home with Tim Garton Re/Max Gold Vallejo
Selling your Vallejo CA home is as much as art as science but a few things things never change.
1. Listing a Vallejo home at fair market attracts buyers and overpricing never does.
2. The first two weeks of marketing are crucial
3. The Vallejo market never lies but it can change its mind.
Values can be impacted by a wide range of reasons but the two largest are condition and location. Generally, fair market value can be determined by comparables which are similar homes that have sold in the same area. Sometimes sellers view their homes as special which tempts them to list their home price to high believing they can always come down later but that's a significant mistake. Overpricing keeps the very buyers who qualify to buy your home from ever seeing it. Almost all Vallejo buyers shop by price range and look for the best value in that range.
