Who Orders the Inspection When Buying a Home?
In the homebuying process, the buyer typically orders and pays for a home inspection after the offer is accepted. Sellers in the inner San Francisco Bay Area often opt for a pre-listing inspection to address issues before listing. Buyers can negotiate a contingency to conduct their inspections and leverage findings for negotiations or withdrawal if needed.
How Buying a Home Achieves Two Financial Goals at the Same Time
Purchasing a home is not just about acquiring a place to live; it’s also a significant financial decision. Interestingly, buying a home can simultaneously achieve two key financial goals. Let’s explore what these are and their implications.
What are Prepaid Costs When Buying a Home?
Prepaid costs, or ‘prepaids,’ in real estate refer to expenses paid in advance at the time of closing, including homeowners insurance premiums, property taxes, mortgage interest, and escrow account funding. It’s essential to distinguish prepaids from the down payment, as the former covers specific upcoming expenses while the latter contributes to home equity. Understanding these costs helps budgeting accurately and can be a negotiation tool, particularly in areas with high property values like Northern California.
