Are you waiting for the Perfect Time to Purchase?

deciding if it is the right time to purchase a home

Are you waiting for the Perfect Time to Purchase?

With interest rates at historical low levels, and the extension of the tax credit you cannot find a better time to purchase a home.   Interest rates as low as 4.75% were quoted in February.   Right now that gives you incredible buying power.   

How are you going to feel if you haven't purchased and the rates rise to 6, 7 or 8% or higher?   Those interest rates have been held artificially low by the government, and that is projected to change at the beginning of next year.

What seller's need to disclose to buyers

What do you have to disclose

The art of disclosure on your Buffalo Home For Sale

By law, real estate professionals cannot fill out any sellers' home disclosures unless the agent is the seller or a party to the transaction. If your agent can't tell you, ask a lawyer if you need to sign every disclosure handed you.

Every state has its own laws regarding disclosures, so the forms will be different. A federal disclosure such as Lead-Based Paint is required for all transactions if the home was built before 1978.   Chances are in most areas of Western New York you will need this form.

What should I disclose?

Material Facts are commonly referred to as anything that would affect the buyer's decision to purchase or the price and terms the buyer offers. In other words, if you have knowledge about a defect, it should be disclosed.  If a seller discloses something to me and chose to withhold this information from the buyer, I would have had to disclose it because now I had knowledge of a material fact.

Buffalo New York Albright Knox Art Gallery

 

Buffalo NY is a community that has been misunderstood by many but those that live in Western New York know it is a wonderful place to call home.   Situated in the western portion of New York state nestled on shores of Lake Erie.  The Buffalo region is one of the fastest growing Real Estate markets in the United States today.  To the north is Niagara Falls and over the boarder Toronto.

Buffalo is a city under an amazing amount of change; all for the positive. Visitors regularly say, "I had no idea." This expression of surprise has happened so often weve given it a name: the "Who Knew?" effect. As in, "Who knew Buffalo was such a beautiful city?" or "Who knew there was so much to do here?" or the "Who knew there were so many amazing restaurants?"
