Buying a Home in Santa Monica: Santa Monica House Buying Tips to Get a Good Deal

September 17, 2011 by heatherpaul

Whether it’s a buyer’s market or a seller’s market, all homebuyers have one thing in common: they don’t want to get ripped off. But how do you know if you’re getting a fair deal on the home you’re prepared to place an offer on? Read on to find out how to evaluate the price of any home so you can make a sound investment decision.

SEARCH HOMES FOR SALE IN SANTA MONICA

Research Recently Sold, Comparable Properties

A comparable property is one that is similar in size, condition, neighborhood and amenities. One 1,200-square-foot, recently remodeled, one-story home with an attached garage should be listed at roughly the same price as a similar 1,200-square-foot home in the same neighborhood. That said, you can also gain valuable information by looking at how the property you’re interested in compares in price to different properties. Is it considerably less expensive than larger or nicer properties? Is it more expensive than smaller or less attractive properties? Your real estate agent is the best source of accurate, up-to-date information on comparable properties (also known as “comps”). You can also look at comps that are currently in escrow, meaning that the property has a buyer but the sale is not yet complete.

In this case, you can actually visit other homes and get a true sense of how their size, condition and amenities compare to the property you’re considering buying. Then you can compare prices and see what seems fair. Reasonable sellers know that they must price their properties similarly to market comparables if they want to be competitive.

Look at Comparables That Were on the Market Recently but Didn’t Sell

If the house you’re considering buying is priced similarly to homes that were taken off the market because they didn’t sell, the property you’re considering may be overpriced. Also, if there are a lot of similar properties on the market, prices should be lower, especially if those properties are vacant. Check out the unsold inventory index for information about current supply and demand in the housing market. This index attempts to measure how long it will take for all the homes currently on the market to be sold given the rate at which homes are currently selling.

SANTA MONICA REAL ESTATE MARKET CONDITIONS AND LATEST STATISTICS

Consider Market Conditions and Appreciation Rates in the Area

Have prices been going up recently or going down? In a seller’s market, properties will probably be somewhat overpriced, and in a buyer’s market, properties are apt to be underpriced. It all depends on where the market currently sits on the real estate boom-and-bust curve. Even in a seller’s market, properties may not be overpriced if the market is on the upswing and not near its peak. Conversely, properties can be overpriced even in a buyer’s market if prices have only recently begun to decline. Of course, it can be difficult to see the peaks and valleys until they’re history. Also consider the impact of mortgage interest rates and the job market on the economy.

Are You Buying a For-Sale-by-Owner Property?

A for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) property should be discounted to reflect the fact that there is no 6% (on average) seller’s agent commission, something that many sellers don’t take into consideration when setting their prices. Another potential problem with FSBOs is that the seller may not have had an agent’s guidance in setting a reasonable price in the first place, or may have been so unhappy with an agent’s suggestion as to decide to go it alone. In any of these situations, the property may be overpriced.

What Is the Expected Appreciation for the Area?

The future prospects for your chosen neighborhood can have an impact on price. If positive development is planned, such as a major mall being built, the extension of light rail to the neighborhood, or a large new company moving to the area, the prospects of future home appreciation look good. Even small developments like plans to add more roads or build a new school can be a good sign. On the other hand, if grocery stores and gas stations are closing down, the home price should be lower to reflect that, and you should probably reconsider moving to the area. The development of new housing can go either way – it can mean that the area is hot and is likely to be in high demand in the future, increasing your home’s value, or it can result in a surplus of housing, which will lower the value of all the homes in the area.

What Is Your Real Estate Agent’s Opinion?

Without even analyzing the data, your real estate agent is likely to have a good gut sense (thanks to experience) of whether the property is priced appropriately or not and what a fair offering price might be.

FIND A SANTA MONICA REAL ESTATE AGENT

Does the Price Feel Fair to You?

If you’re not happy with the property, the price will never seem fair, even if you get a bargain. Even if you pay a little over market value for a home you love, in the end, you won’t really care.

Test the Waters

Even in a seller’s market, you can always offer below list price just to see how the seller reacts. Some sellers list properties for the lowest price they’re willing to take because they don’t want to negotiate, while others list their homes for higher than they expect to earn because they expect to negotiate downward or they want to see if someone will make an offer at the higher price. If the seller accepts your price or counteroffer, you’ll get an indication that the property probably wasn’t worth what it was listed for and you have a good chance at getting a fair deal. On the other hand, some sellers may underprice their properties in the hope of generating lots of interest and sparking a bidding war. Unlike on eBay, however, the seller doesn’t have to simply sell to the highest bidder: sellers can reject any and all offers that don’t meet their expectations. If you have your heart set on the property, be warned that some sellers may be offended by lowball offers and refuse to work with you if you chose to employ such a tactic. Also, when you offer less than the list price, you may increase your risk of being outbid by another buyer.

Get an Appraised Value and a Home Inspection

Once you’re under contract, the lender will have an appraisal of the property done (usually at your expense) to protect its financial interests. The lender wants to make sure that if you stop making your mortgage payments, it’ll be able to get a reasonable amount of its money back when it forecloses on your home. If the appraisal comes in at considerably less than your offering price, you may not be getting a fair deal. In fact, the lender may not even let you purchase the home unless the seller is willing to bring the price down. A home inspection, which is completed after you’re under contract, will also give you a way to gauge your offering price. If the home needs many expensive repairs, you’ll want to ask the seller to make the repairs for you or discount the purchase price so you can make them yourself.
