Buying Foreclosed Homes: Factors to Keep in Mind as You Plan

Foreclosed homes are residential properties that have been seized by banks and then offered to buyers so as to recoup the initial investment made on the home. In most cases, such properties are priced lower to compensate for any renovations you may have to bear.

Plan for Some Repairs

Always anticipate some amount of necessary repair. Familiarize yourself with the general costs repair works like painting and replacing windows. Once you get an estimate of repair cost, add that to the asking price for the home, and see whether it still falls within your budget.


Base Costs Estimates on Professionals’ Figures

Never base your repairs budget on DIY estimates. Use figures prepared by professionals instead. With this approach, when the repair time comes and you feel like doing the work on your own, you will end up having some money to spare.

Always Get Legal Representation

It could cost you dearly to sign a purchase contract without understanding fully what it could mean in the long term for you. Getting a reputable real estate lawyer can help you in terms of understanding better the terms of property sale.

The Importance of a Good Realtor

Everyone knows that if you are hunting for a home, you need to come up with a budget, decide on the important characteristics that matter most to you, and agree on what sacrifices you need to make in order to get a house that fits the bill.

Vahe Hayrapetian: Politics and Interest Rates.

How Do Politics Effect Interest Rates?

In the perfect capitalistic world, interest rates would be set by objective, disinterested parties. Realistically, politicians can influence the interest rates for property loans in many ways.


Federal Reserve Monetary Policy

The United States Federal Reserve (Fed) is an organization of high-level bankers who effectively run American monetary policy. By determining the interest rates that banks can charge one another, the Fed can effectively control interest rates.

United States Congressional Policies

In the 1990s, the United States Federal Government established public policy to improve the home ownership rates in the nation. Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, as pseudo-government organizations, have been effective in offering cheaper loans to attract buyers.

Changes in Leadership

New administrations will usually want to establish their own unique characteristics for the real estate market. After elections, interest rates may be adjusted in order to encourage or discourage more property buying activity.

Politicians might also try to hide their future policy decisions to prevent speculators from profiting. Politics can influence interest rates, but the market still drives property prices. Discover how experienced California Realtor Vahe Hayrapetian can help you anticipate and prepare for interest rate changes due to politics.

Vahe Hayrapetian: What is ZIRP?

What is ZIRP & Why Does it Matter?

The Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP) has been established by the United States Federal Reserve (Fed) to provide cheap capital to increase productivity and economic activity. This has been the Fed's policy since 2008.

Capital is Primary Productivity Input

As a primary input for productivity, capital can determine how successful businesses and consumers can be. Cheap money allows people to take out more loans to purchase things that they want to enjoy today with promises of repaying the loans tomorrow.

UK Calls 2008 the "Credit Crunch"

In 2008, global financial markets saw a serious risk of shutting down due to the collapse of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. These powerful financial firms had gone bankrupt and many banks were afraid of their exposure therefrom. The United Kingdom called 2008, the "Credit Crunch."


Ample Capital Increases Home Sales

One of the primary engines of US housing market appreciation has been cheap capital. Lower interest rates and increased loan options, such as the Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM), have enabled individuals to purchase and remodel their homes.
