You should not bypass having a Home Inspection

A first time home buyer will often resisit spending the money to have a Certified Professional Home Inspector look over the home they are buying. This is a very dangerous thing to do. You are running the risk of missing potentially dangerous defects or very expensive repairs in the home you are wanting to buy, for you and your family to live in. A professional home inspection thats going to only cost a few hundered dollars is not a extravagant expense, when you are considering one of the most expensive investments you and your family will ever make.

You need to learn as much about the home market in your area as you can!

When you are 100% ready to make an offer on the home you want to buy, you want to do some advance preparation. You want to gather jusy as much information as you can about the home, the neighborhood it's in, and about the seller of the home. This information will help you with negotiating the price of the home. It's especially helpful to you to find out why the seller is selling the home. Does the seller have to sale. Is he or she moving out of town, or maybe they have suffered some financial setback, or does the seller want to sale for other reasons. If you have gotten yourself a Buyers Agent, he or she can help you get that information for you. Depending on if the seller of the home and their listing Agent, wants you to know or not. Now if you are working with an Agent that is representing the seller, thinks only as a listing Agent, or is a dual Agent, he or she cannot reveal this information without the permission of the seller, most of the time they will not even ask for that permission to do so. It's really best for you to be working with a Buyers Agent when looking to buy a home.

Your Real Estate Agent should run a CMA for you. ( Comparative Market Analysis )

The CMA should provide you with information about the homes that are being compared, like the square footage, the number of bedrooms and baths, the listing price and the selling price. Be sure that your Agent is only investigates the homes that are similar to the home you are wanting to buy. It does you no good to compar a three - bedroom, with two-bath home to your four-bedroom, with only one bath home selction is really of little value to you. A CMA that shows properties from a neighborhood four or five miles away is also of little value to you. Your CMA report should list the sales of similar homes in the immediate neighborhood of the home you want, within the last year. The more current the information is the more the CMA well be of help to you in determining the offer you should make on the home. It's really best to be looking at homes that have sold in the last few months in the neighborhood of the home you want to buy. The CMA is a really valuable piece of information to you because it's based on fact rather than on opinion. To really get the most out of the CMA report, you shoud really concentrate on what the homes sold for rather then the listing price. The listing price and the selling price are uselly very different from one another. By looking at the selling prices, you can avoid offering way too much for the home. After you have came up with your offer for the home, your Agent can also use the CMA to show the listing Agent why your offer is fair and withing the market price of the neighborhood.

From what I understand only Real Estate Agents that are represntatives of buyers have access to the CMA. So if you should be working with a sellers agent, your not going to be able to obtain this information. This is way it's recommended for Homebuyers to work with a Buyers Agent when looking to buy a home.
