Word of the Week: Bilateral Contract

What is a Bilateral Contract in Real Estate?

There are a number of reasons why you should hire a Real Estate Agent to represent you. The paperwork alone is enough to make you dizzy. One piece of paperwork is key to the whole process – the contract. Typically, Real Estate sales contracts are “bilateral”, meaning it’s a two-way agreement. To put it simply, the Seller agrees to sell their home, and the Buyer agrees to purchase it.jsrealty4u Real Estate concepts home bilateral

Word of the Week: Earnest Money Deposit

What is an Earnest Money Deposit and why is it important?

deposit jsrealty4uAn Earnest Money Deposit (or “EMD”) is an important part of the home buying process. It is an amount of money that you will deposit (in escrow) that tells the Seller you are committed to the purchase of the home. It’s important to know that this earnest money deposit is not an extra cost of buying a home. It will be credited towards the down payment at closing. In the event that it exceeds your mortgage down payment and settlement costs, you will receive the balance at closing.

How much should I offer?

JSRealty4U Money Payment Deposit

This can differ depending on the real estate markets and can also depend on whether or not there are multiple offers on the property. If you feel that you are not in competition, you can expect to pay around 1-2% of the sales price in most markets. For example: a $300,000.00 sales price x 1% = $3,000.00 EMD. If you are in competition with other offers, you may want to offer more. This will tell the Seller you are more serious about their home and could help you win the offer. A good Realtor can really help you structure the correct offer with the right amount of EMD.

Is my money safe?

jsrealty4u loan deposit amortizationIn most cases you will write the check to your Realtors, Real Estate Brokerage Company or the company that will be assisting you in the settlement (Title Company). Never write the check to the Seller or their Realtor directly. The money is usually due very shortly after the contract is fully accepted by all parties (ratified) and will be placed in an escrow account. Shortly before you go to settlement, it will be released so it can be applied towards your settlement cost and down payment on the day you purchase the home. In the event the amount you put down exceeds the amount needed for these cost, you will get a refund of the difference. This is your money, and it is treated as such. It is only applied to your costs.

if I do not buy the house, how do I get my money back?

JS Realty Contract Paper depositEvery market can be different when it comes to answering this question. Make sure you read and understand the contract. It should state what happens to the EMD if you no longer qualify (or decide you do not want to buy) the home. If you are within your rights to cancel the contract, the Seller will agree to release the funds back to you in full. However, there are many different ways this can be handled. Not all are not favorable, so understand the contract you are signing and discuss any concerns you may have with your Realtor. If you are not comfortable with the language that is written in the contract be sure to consult an attorney before signing to ensure your rights are protected too.

THE BOTTOM LINE

JS Realty loudoun depositAn Earnest Money Deposit is your way of telling the Seller “I love your home and really want to buy it.” In most cases the money remains yours and is applied to your costs in regards to the purchase. It can also be a great way to leverage your offer in the event you find yourself in competition with another Buyer. A great Realtor can guide you through the offer process and help you structure a deal that is more than just about a sales price.

Word of the Week: Appreciation

Understanding What “Appreciation” Means in the Real Estate Industry

Appreciation is the increase in the worth or value of property. Investors generally buy property for two reasons – income production and appreciation potential.

jsrealty4u appreciationThe purchase of a home usually is the single greatest investment most people make in their lives. It’s important to look at one’s home as an investment, and understand what drives the value of the property in order to find opportunities that maximize wealth. Given the unpredictable nature of the real estate market, what should you know about home appreciation before you buy?

Location, Location, Location

jsrealty4u appreciation mark twain real estate land

As the population steadily increases, the demand for land grows as well. The supply of land on this planet is limited, and its price increases as the population does. Home buyers should focus more on how purchasing a property in a specific location will appreciate over time, versus the physical attributes of the home itself. This is a difficult task for buyers who are expecting to spend a significant amount of time in the home. However, almost all homes can be improved as time goes by and can provide a significant return on the investment – if they’re located in an area of high demand.

Current & Future Amenities

Local amenities are great, and definitely a key factor when choosing a property to purchase. But what about the future prospects for commercial and/or governmental development in the area? Future schools, hospitals, traffic patterns and other public infrastructure will have a big influence on land values, as well as current and future development of commercial amenities in a particular location.

jsrealty4u real estate construction appreciation

Unfortunately, whether your home will appreciate over time is mostly out of your control. The residential real estate market has a natural ebb and flow between being a buyers’ markets and a sellers’ markets.

With so much information and advice out there, it’s hard to know for sure where your property fits into the mix. The JS Realty Team is a great resource when it comes to buying and selling residential real estate.

Word of the Week: Assumption

This Week We Define Assumption and How it Works

So what exactly is Assumption? It’s the act of transferring a loan from one borrower to another. So assuming a loan means taking over the seller’s mortgage and continuing to make the payments on it. An assumption generally requires the lender’s approval consistent with the agreement (assumption clause). JS Realty lender man mortgage assumption

For example, some lenders may agree to transfer the seller’s old loan to the buyer, which could benefit the buyer where the existing mortgage has an interest rate below current interest rates. When a buyer assumes a mortgage, they assume personal liability for full payment of the debt. And if the loan is not paid and a foreclosure sale does not satisfy the debt, the new buyer who assumed the loan could be personally liable to pay the outstanding balance. Such payments are court-ordered through a deficiency judgment. In most cases, however, the lender will hold the seller and the buyer jointly and severally liable. That means that the lender may pursue either or both parties to repay the debt. In effect, the buyer becomes a co-guarantor with the original note maker.jsrealty4u assumption handshake

In today’s market we don’t see a lot of loans assumed because rates are at historic lows. Loans tend to be assumed when rates rise dramatically and the current owners rates are more attractive than what is being currently offered. Another key point is that most loans can’t be assumed. Typically they are only available as an option on FHA and VA loans.

If you have additional questions on assumption, different types of loans, or Real Estate questions in general, feel free to contact us!
