Payment Myths First-Time Homebuyers

February 27, 2024 by Danielle Edwards

Dispelling Down Payment Myths for First-Time Homebuyers

Embarking on the journey to purchase your first home can seem overwhelming, particularly when it comes to saving for the various expenses involved, notably the down payment. You might have heard the common belief that you need to set aside 20% of the home’s purchase price for the down payment. However, this isn’t always the case.

Unless stipulated by your loan type or lender, it’s typically not obligatory to provide a 20% down payment. This means you could be closer to achieving your dream of homeownership than you realize.

As stated by The Mortgage Reports:

“While putting down 20% to avoid mortgage insurance is advisable if feasible, it’s a misconception that this is always mandatory. In reality, most individuals opt for a significantly lower down payment.”

According to data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the median down payment hasn’t exceeded 20% since 2005. In fact, for all homebuyers today, it averages only 15%, with first-time buyers typically putting down just 8% (see graph below):

Exploring Available Resources to Aid Your Homebuying Journey

In addition to down payment assistance programs, such as the over 2,000 programs offered across the U.S. according to Down Payment Resource, various loan options can provide support. For instance, FHA loans allow down payments as low as 3.5%, while VA and USDA loans have no down payment requirements for eligible applicants.

To uncover what you qualify for, consult with your loan officer or broker. They are knowledgeable about local grants and loan programs that can assist you.

Don’t let the misconception that a 20% down payment is mandatory hinder your progress toward homeownership. Rely on professionals to help you discover resources that can turn your dreams into reality. Waiting until you’ve saved 20% may actually be more costly in the long term. According to U.S. Bank:

“There are numerous reasons why achieving a 20% down payment might not be feasible. For some, delaying until they’ve saved up 20% may incur too much time. While you’re saving for your down payment and paying rent, the price of your future home may increase.”

Home prices are projected to continue rising over the next 5 years, meaning delaying your purchase could result in a higher purchase price. Leveraging available resources to buy now allows you to benefit from future price appreciation, building equity rather than incurring additional costs.

Check out the journey of a first-time homebuyer as they navigate the real estate market with REMAX agent Danielle Edwards, in the insightful TV show segment.

In Conclusion

Remember, you don’t always require a 20% down payment to purchase a home. If you’re considering making a move this year, let’s connect to initiate discussions about your homeownership goals.

Charlotte Real Estate Market Report

July 16, 2020 by Danielle Edwards

Charlotte Real Estate Market Report

Market home sales show early signs of recovery for Charlotte Real Estate

Is the Charlotte Real Estate market recovering? As businesses across the region continue to adjust to reopening, home sales across Charlotte show the housing market in the early stages of recovery. According to data from Canopy MLS, home sales in June were down only 1.8% compared to June 2019. 4,938 properties sold in June 2020. Closed sales compared to May 2020 increased 37.2% with 340 more transactions completed than the previous month.

Pending contract activity

Buyer interest and demand for homes in the region is returning to pre-pandemic levels. Pending contracts rose significantly by 26.8 percent year-over-year with 6,174 properties going under contract in June. Contract activity compared to May 2020 was also positive and rose 4.2 percent.

Charlotte Real Estate Market
2020 Canopy Realtor® Association/Canopy MLS President John Kindbom said, “The large bump in pending contracts this past month compared to last year shows that buyer demand is healthy and was held back simply due to COVID-19. The last two months were certainly challenging. There are still challenges ahead. But we can already see the market is improving and will likely be a key driver in our economic recovery.” Prices rose during the month of June. The average list price ($366,537) rose 10.9 percent compared to last year but decreased 2.4 percent compared to May 2020. The median sales price ($284,900) and the average sales price ($333,938) rose 7.5 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively. The original list price to sales price ratio was at 97.6 percent, showing sellers are getting close to their asking prices.

 

New listing activity

 

New listing activity continues to lag and signals that seller confidence is recovering at a slower pace. Year-over-year new listings were down 8.5 percent with 5,365 new listings added to inventory during the month. Compared to May 2020, new listing activity rose 3.8 percent as sellers continue to adjust to virtual showings and opening their homes to buyers in the safest manner possible under current and changing conditions.

Kindbom added, “Realtors® certainly understand the hesitancy many sellers have in listing a home during what seems to be the height of a pandemic, even though agents continue to use every precaution to ensure safe showings. However, with inventory at the lowest level recorded, there’s a lot of opportunity for sellers who are ready to list. In fact, new listings get increased visibility and are spending less time on market.”

Inventory in Charlotte Region

Inventory across Charlotte declined 46.7 % year-over-year to 5,701 active listings at report time. This pushed months of supply to 1.3 months in June. This time last year the market had nearly three months of supply and 10,698 active listings.
Homes continue to sell briskly, which is another hallmark of a strong seller’s market. Days on market, the metric that accrues for “Active” and “Under Contract-Show” statuses, averaged 38 days in June 2020 compared to 40 days in June 2019. The average number of days a property was on the market from the time it was listed until it closed (list to close) was 89 days.

Charlotte Real Estate Market
The Canopy Realtor® Association provides monthly reports on residential real estate market activity for the Charlotte Metro region based on data from Canopy MLS. The Charlotte Metro region, which this report is based on, includes 12 counties in North Carolina and four counties in South Carolina.

For more information on this report and data please contact Danielle Edwards with RE/MAX Executive.

How to sell your home in Charlotte

February 21, 2020 by Danielle Edwards

How to sell your home in Charlotte

A guide to getting your home sold fast

So, you want to sell your Charlotte home. There are so many different routes to take when preparing for the home-selling process, as a result, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Do you sell your home all by yourself? Do you hire a discount firm to help? Or do you go with a full-time real estate expert and professional?

I’ve been a Realtor for 14 years, and I have certainly learned the pros and cons of all of the above options, as well as the definite do’s and don’ts. In fact, I have a recent seller experience that I would like to share, as I think it would be useful if you plan to sell your Charlotte home in the near future.

How to sell your home in Charlotte

Video by Danielle Edwards

 Real seller experience

I recently had clients with a home they wanted to list in Wilshire, a community in South Charlotte. Homes in Wilshire typically stay on the market for an average of 23 days, which is relatively quick; however, some sell quicker, and others can lag for months. There’s a simple reason as to why some of these homes take so much longer to sell.

House hunting today is like watching HGTV. You know the episode: a couple walks through a beautifully but minimally decorated home with just the right amount of perfectly placed furniture. There’s just enough furniture and decor to make the space attractive, but it’s minimal enough that you can image your own furniture and decor in the space. I’m not saying your home has to be perfectly renovated and decorated in order to sell your home, but data shows that move-in ready homes sell in days, and most of the time, over listing price. When sellers put in minimal effort and sell their home as-is, their homes tend to sit on the market for longer.

My clients wanted to sell their home at 7219 Fortrose Lane. Great home, and great sub $400,000 price point; however, a young toddler lived in the home and therefore, it didn’t show itself as move-in ready. When I met with my sellers, I went over my game plan and thankfully they trusted me. The result? it worked! Our plan-of-action was as follows:

1. Technicals: A 25 year old home will likely have some issues. I always recommend getting the entire HVAC system checked before listing. My sellers in Wilshire needed a new furnace. It was leaking carbon dioxide into the flue. I advised them that they were better off spending the $2,900 to replace it, and then use it as a marketing tool by highlighting the new feature. We were also able to build the $2,900 into the asking price. Had we not replaced the furnace, we ran the risk of having to deal with the issue while under contract, slowing down the closing process, and having to fix the issue for the buyers.

2. Paint: Several of the rooms at 7219 Fortrose Lane were painted an outdated yellow color. We strategically painted these rooms to give them a fresh look. The sellers decided to put in some “elbow grease” and painted these rooms themselves, saving hundreds. In total, painting the home costed about $600.

3. Storage: I recommended that my sellers put everything that they didn’t need during their selling process into Smart Boxes. By minimizing the amount of clutter, they were able to make the home feel much bigger and less cramped. Not to mention, decluttering beforehand makes moving 10 times easier and more efficient once your house is sold. For my sellers, Smart Boxes costed about $350.

4. Light Fixtures: Light fixtures make a huge difference in giving your home an easy face lift. We replaced the kitchen fixture for $99 and and spray painted an old brass fixture for the dining room. We also got a new lock and handle for the front door for $50.

5. Pressure wash: My sellers did this themselves. They cleaned the driveway and sidewalk area, which is the first thing that potential buyers see when they pull up to your home.

6. Staging: Not all homes need this. There are 3 different types of staging:
6a.) Vacant staging: The home is empty, so stagers bring in furniture to fill the entire home
6b.)Partial staging: Stagers use some of the seller’s furniture, but bring in more to supplement
6c.) Virtual staging: Home stays vacant and computer generated photos are used to create online appeal

We decided to stage the main floor and master bathroom. I staged the other bedroom with items in my own collection. I told my clients the $1700 investment would come back to them, and guess what? It did! This home sold on DAY ONE. We used Stage It Charlotte.

7. Clean: This goes without saying. It’s absolutely essential to clean your home before putting it on the market. We had this home cleaned by a professional. House cleaning costs varies, but you can expect to pay close to $300 an hour.

8. Floors: The hardwoods in the Wilshire home were showing their mature 25 year old age. My sellers spent $2,600 to refinish the floors and it made a BIG impact. At this point, 40% of their items were in storage pods and the rest was in the garage. The sellers went on a fun 4-day stay at a friend’s house and bit the bullet to get this done. Over the years, I’ve had lots of sellers promise to refinish floors at closing, but for buyers, seeing is believing. Refinishing the floors was a game changer for a first impression.

9. Flowers: My sellers planed bright pansies on the exterior of the home and I bought some pretty flowers to place in the kitchen. It doesn’t seem like much, but it’s tiny details like this that make a home seem more charming and inviting.

When it comes to being market ready, each home is unique in what it needs. I have a proven record of preparing homes to sell for top dollar and fast. Let’s be honest, nobody likes keeping a house clean 24/7.

Each home is unique it what it needs to be market ready. I have a proven record of preparing my sellers homes that gets them top dollar for their homes. NO ONE I can think of likes keeping their home clean 24/7. Especially, if you have pets and children. The hard work you put into your home UPFRONT will mean less hassle and a stronger buyer pool to choose from when you receive an offer(s).

Sell your home faster with these simple changes

Sell your home faster with these simple changes

How changing simple things like paint and curtains can help you sell your home faster

When homeowners decide to put their houses on the market, they often panic at the thought of all the costly renovations and major changes that need to be made in order for their home to sell. While it is true, sometimes homes do need some renovating– I’m here to tell you from experience that it is actually the most simple changes that will allow you to sell your home faster! When it comes to curtains, for example, it can be more beneficial to take them away completely than it is to change them up!

Small updates can mean BIG dollars!

I had a client who had their home on the market for 45 days with NO offers. The home was beautiful, in great shape, and in an ideal location. We realized that it was the personal decorative touches they had throughout the home that may be turning some buyers away.

We simplified the decor–specifically the window dressings and paint, and the home immediately got multiple offers and sold at listing price. Just look at the difference taking away the curtains and wallpaper made:

Just because your decor is beautiful, doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. By taking away your own personal touches such as curtains, wallpaper and paint– you’re allowing potential buyers to let their imaginations run wild! While I show them around the home, they’re just dreaming of the decor and paint colors they can’t wait to fill their future home with. So remember, small updates can mean big dollars!

Now, let’s get your home SOLD!

How to Prepare for Real Estate Market 2018 in Charlotte

February 16, 2018 by Danielle Edwards

Real Estate market 2018 for Charlotte, NC

A guide for Buyers and Sellers

How do I prepare for the Real Estate Market this year? This is probably the most popular question I get asked by buyers and sellers alike. According to the news, homes are just “flying off the shelves.” This might actually be true if you are a first-time home-buyer looking in the $100-$300k range. So many millennials are entering the Real Estate Market during an extreme shortage of listings, causing the demand for this price-point to be pretty painful for buyers.

Can you guess the average number of days that a house stays on the Real Estate Market? 1 day. That’s right.  GONE.

First, let’s talk to my buyers…

How to win a multiple offer situation or a home under $300k in Charlotte

1. For starters, get yourself a seasoned and EXPERIENCED buyer’s agent. This is vital for a few reasons:

  • Competition. 8-12 hours after a listing has hit Zillow or Realtor.com, your competition has already seen it, and maybe even booked an appointment.  Realtors have access to listings the nano-second it goes live.  You want someone that is available to show you property ASAP.
  • Availability. You’ll have an agent to come to ANY time ANY day of the week with questions and concerns. As a Realtor, I work non-stop.  I have no “off-hours.”  Believe it or not, there are some agents who don’t work Sundays or after 5 pm.
  • Multiple-Offer Situations. The right buyer’s agent will prepare you to win multiple offer situations (stressful bidding wars) and keep a leg-up over your competition well before your perfect home hits the market. To find out what exactly I do to prepare my buyers and make their process as seamless as possible, please contact me and I will ensure you are ready to win your dream home once we find it.  I have an excellent multiple offer track record!

2.  Get to know your area’s school zones.

Have a home in mind? Become familiar with the neighborhood, schools, and area so you are not wasting time deciding on anything BUT the home.  If you think you will have children in 5 years, please look at the schools unless you want to move again (and prepare for a new Real Estate Market later!)  I can’t stress this enough.

3. Show me the Money!

The more money you have available to put towards a down payment, the better and the more flexible you will be with closing the deal in a timely manner; and therefore, the more appealing you will be to the sellers and the seller’s agent.  Often times, you may be up against cash buyers.  Cash buyers can close in 14 days! Talk about a seller’s dream.
Save up for a downpayment so you can get a leg up on your competition!

4. Don’t get caught up in asking for personal property.

Keep it as clean as possible.  You can always ask for that after you have come to contract terms.

Anything and everything else will be shared with my buyer’s when you choose to work with me. I will keep you informed and prepared to buy that perfect home! Contact me and let’s get to work!

When is the best time to contact a Buyer’s Agent? (Danielle Edwards)?
ASAP!  Don’t wait till your lease is up in 30 days.  You should be contacting your agent at least six months in advance.  The sooner the better! Read the Working with Real Estate Agents brochure.  90% of all buyers have representation.

The seller compensates the agent.  In exchange, you get someone who is looking out for you through finding the home, negotiation, problem-solving (trust me, most of what I do is problem-solving), repairs (the most stressful part) and coordination of closing.  Would you really want to do all that yourself?

Alright, sellers. It’s your turn.

Dear Sellers,

Let’s get to the point. If your home is over $300k, it is not part of the mass craze of homes selling in one day.

I am sorry to break this to you.  With new construction going up everywhere, and the majority of Baby Boomers downsizing from their 4,000 sqft+ homes, there is A LOT of competition.  Buyers looking for homes over $400k are most likely NOT first time home buyers.  This crowd has likely already owned a home and are now looking to cross everything off their wishlist with their second or third home.  Most buyers these days spend hours watching HGTV and expect every house to look like the “after” portion of Fixer Upper.  They also have new construction options that are often right around the corner from your well-built 1980s brick home and have all the bells and whistles with a teeny-tiny yard to maintain.

So what can you do?

Wait for it…

Well, contact me of course!  In all seriousness,  there is A LOT of work to be done to get your home ready to sell.  I have the numbers (and the experience) to prove it.  All of my previous listings that underwent some serious hard work (as well as minor adjustments) in preparation to hit the Real Estate Market, sold quicker.  The ones that didn’t, sat on the market.  Those sellers eventually had to cave and make changes that I suggested and guess what? They sold.

Things that make a home take longer to sell:

1. The Lot

If your lot is less than ideal, your price should reflect that. Do you have a sloped or high-pitched driveway? Is it kid-friendly? Does it back up to a highway, road, unsightly or ill-maintained neighboring home?  Most deficiencies can all be overcome by a lower price.  I firmly believe there is a buyer for every home.  You don’t want to waste the first 30-60 days on the market receiving the same feedback about your lot over and over.  Imagine having to keep your home immaculate 24/7 while dealing with the pets and children (if you have any).  Stressful.  The only exception to this is if you don’t actually live in the home you’re selling. Regardless, have your listing price reflect the quality of your lot will allow us to find that buyer that doesn’t mind the EMF tower in the backyard.

2. The Wallpaper

It has got to go… unless it is the new, trendy kind of wallpaper hitting the home-decor stores lately.
Old wall-paper has got to go!

3. Heavy curtains covering transom windows

Dark, drab rooms are not very inviting. In case you haven’t heard, natural lighting is “all the rage” right now. Studies show that living in a home with plenty of natural light is beneficial for your immune system and overall happiness levels.

4. Overimproved home

In today’s Real Estate Market, you might have trouble if your home is recently updated or has new additions while surrounding homes are outdated, small, and poorly maintained.

5. Undesirable schools

Buyers that are hoping to have kids or who already do, will be looking for a home in a top-level school district. Unfortunately, there’s not much we can do when it comes to the school district your home is stuck in. But we can highlight other perks that outweigh the cost of undesirable schools and even get familiar with nearby private schools.

Today's Real Estate Market.

6. Poor maintenance

I have a lot to say when it comes to maintaining your home. In fact, I wrote a book about it. You can find it here. If your home has been poorly maintained over the years, it will take a lot of work to get it in top-selling shape– but together, we can make it work.

As your agent, I will provide you with the average days on Real Estate Market for your community.  You can click here to find out your neighborhoods recent activity to get an idea.  My role as your agent is not just to post your home on The MLS, anyone can do that.  My goal is to effectively market this home and get it sold.  The home is a product.  I will negotiate with your buyer’s agent, manage repairs and problem-solve daily until we close!

Let’s be honest: Interest rates are expected to rise and there is a lot of new inventory entering the market as well. When interest rates rise it affects the buying power that future homeowners have.  You only have one chance to make that first impression to buyers. And Buyers, you only have once chance to make the right offer to a Seller.  Whichever side of the coin you are on, I can assist you.

Piper Glen is known as a golf community, but you don’t have to golf or enjoy golf to live here!  The golf membership is completely separate.  The location of this home is truly something to brag about.  The country club just went through a stunning renovation.  If you want a social/pool membership that is separate from the HOA of this home.  The new pool is certainly worth checking out!
