Homes For Sale, and Buyer's Remorse For Free



Article Written and Prepared by: Neoli Marcos



It's like this: You buy a house for a price, and they thrown in buyer's remorse for free.


I'm not sure about you, but just within seconds of buying, say a pair of shoes or an ice cream, I regret the decision and wish I'd spent the money on something wiser (i.e., a book). Of course, I’m just being hard on myself.


But when we think about really big purchases, such as that dream house that cost you sweat and blood, that perfect real estate you've been searching for so long and which you thought was just fiction--when you think about it, then it's perfectly normal to let "buyer's remorse" set in you. After all, you want only the best home for you, and you want to be sure you made the best decision.


Even if you've planned ahead, visited a hundred homes to choose from, and created the most comprehensive pros and cons list, buyer's remorse is sure to come. And it's a healthy reaction. Doubt makes you double-check things, and that's good because there might really be something awry about your new home you overlooked.


1. If the house reveals more repair issues than you’re willing to take on;


2. If there are problems with the deed;


3. If the house doesn't appraise at a price at or above the contract;


4. If you're short in finances;


Then your buyer's remorse may be valid. If you can still legally back out of the contract, that's fine. It just means the house wasn't meant for you, and the search starts all over again.


But let's put it this way too. Once you've eliminated all the possible culprits of your remorse, and decided the house is just fine and it's just you--start falling in love with your house again. Remember all the good qualities that made you stand out in the first place. Then, consider all the laughs and milestones you and your family will share there. Sure, the uncertainty of newness is scary, but love and ice cream will get you through.

Home Improvements and Pretty Real Estates



Article Written and Prepared by: Neoli Marcos



Like it or not, people will say things about your home. Or rather, your home says a lot about you. Either way you look at it, we're living in a world obsessed with image. The right one. Now, be honest. Ask yourself this question, is my house a before or after image of a home-makeover TV show?

Now, if you answered "After", you were probably just too shy, or are in denial (kidding). But if you said "Before", well, at least you know you have a problem, and you can fix it.

You don't have to call the reality TV show guys for a televised makeover of your home or property. You just need to have your local builder make a quote of your home's improvement costs. And then you can apply for a home improvement loan.

Your goal is to apply for the home improvement loan with the lowest interest rate. But don't just jump on the first one that looks promising. Shop for quotes, and then choose the best. Ideally, you should borrow money above the quoted price of your builder, just so you won't run into money shortage in the middle of the construction.

Whether it's a new paint job, or a landscaping project, or an extension room, house renovations certainly increase the value of your property. Now, your house fits the "After" photo left side of the TV screen. Of course, nothing beats a smile here and there in your home, and just plain being nice to each other by everyone living there. Now that's the best home improvement of all.
