Joe’s Corner – Houlihan & O’Malley Real Estate, Owner/Broker

SELLERS: Anticipate the ‘Title Search’ before you put your house on the market.

The Title Search is one of the last steps that happens in the home buying process. You may ask what exactly is a Title Search?

The buyer’s attorney will ‘order title’ after the buyer has received the mortgage commitment from their lender. What this actually means is the buyer is buying an insurance policy – a ‘title’ insurance policy. The insurance company is insuring that there are no liens, encumbrances or other ‘clouds’ on the legal title of the property. The most common item that comes up are old mortgages whose payoff was not properly recorded.

Other typical items that come up are permits for work done on the home that were not closed in the town building department. Encroachments of a neighbors’ fence onto the property is another typical issue that can arise. More serious things are decks or sheds that the homeowner never got a permit to build. These problems can really delay a closing because the title report is not ordered until late in the purchase process.

I always visit the building department before I list a property to head off some of these exact issues. Just recently I found an issue with a plumbing permit and an electrical permit in my Sellers property file at town hall. In the file, at the building department, both of these permits were closed. However, on the towns digital system, they both showed as open. I sent the documentation I copied from the building department to the plumbing and electrical inspectors asking them to close the respective permit in the system — and they did. A potential crisis averted!

Low Interest Rates Make It a Good Time to Buy

Home Buying Market

The world is currently going through an unprecedented series of events with the pandemic. For many, it’s a time to shelter in place and to be thankful for the things that they have. Things are changing for the time being, but the world will come through on the other side wiser and stronger than before.

Some of the changes that have occurred in the past few weeks from a buyer’s perspective, are actually beneficial right now.

Low Interest Rates Make It a Good Time to Buy

Although the world is in uncertain times, those who have the means may find that buying a property right now could be a very good option. This is because the rates today are lower than they have been in a long time. The rates are at record lows, so buying a property has the potential to net you a great deal.

The Federal Reserve is buying unlimited amounts of mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities. This is helping to provide more protection than what was available during the 2008 recession. In light of what’s happening currently, this will be needed. The government is also acting faster today than it did in 2008, which means the benefits could be seen sooner. By creating a greater demand in mortgage bonds and with rates low, buying could be a smart choice for those who have already been considering buying.

If you have the money available to buy a property, it simply makes sense to take advantage of the changes that are happening with the rates. While it is certainly a scary time for the world, and you might be wondering whether you should make the purchase, it’s time to consider the low rates. If you were already going to buy a home, and you are in a financial situation where you will be able to make the purchase safely, consider getting in touch and moving forward.

Of course, with the current pandemic, there is no longer such a thing as “business as usual”. During these times, you will want to consider other ways of shopping for and buying your property. Fortunately, we have plans in place that can make it much easier for you.

Find New Properties Using Virtual Connections

With so much of the world in lockdown, getting out and finding the real estate that you want to buy right now can seem difficult. In fact, it can be next to impossible to move forward with “business as usual” in the coming weeks. However, we can work with our clients virtually. If you are interested in a property, or if you have questions, we can connect online. In fact, much of what you will need to know about the property, including looking at the photos and taking a virtual “tour” can be done over the Internet.

You can learn more about the property, the building, the neighborhood, and more. By connecting online, it limits actual contact, while still providing you with all of the information you will need when it comes to the property. It’s very easy to work with clients virtually, so you can get started on your home search right away.

With an increase in the number of buildings and homes that will be available, coupled with the low interest rates, it could be the right time to start thinking about buying. Check out some of the properties we have available and then get in touch to learn more. It couldn’t be easier to find the home of your dreams, and you might even be able to save some money thanks to those low rates. It’s nice to have a bit of good news during these trying times.

Just because the world is wisely social distancing currently doesn’t mean that you have to forego looking for a new property to call home. Check out all of the different options that are available, consider the state of your finances, and get in touch to learn more about those properties. This could be an ideal time to find a property that you like.
