Open Houses 07/10: Take a Trip through the Wine Country Experience
FEATURED Open House: 1013 Westside Road, Healdsburg – Open Sun 1-4 – $995,000
What better way to describe this Westside Road gem -merely a short drive from the town plaza- than to picture a fabulous Saturday in wine country. Rising to the panoramic views of the sun lifting over the Russian River Valley, fresh brewed coffee awaits. Pouring a cup, you step outside into the cool morning air, letting the dogs roam free bounding across the grassy landscape of a big and beautiful backyard. After a hearty breakfast, you scamper across hardwood floors to shower, change and plan the day.
Get an Inspection to Avoid Buying a Lemon
You have found the home that you think is perfect. You know you are in love with it. You are so ready to close the deal.
But wait!
Before you close the deal you really need to make sure you aren’t picking a lemon. Now it’s time to get a home inspector involved. Back in the day it was not heard of in the home market to have a home inspection. If a person loved the house, like you do, he or she depended on that good feeling and what the real estate agent said. Now the process is different. Most real estate purchase contracts give you the right to order one or more professional inspections before you close.
Choosing Not to Get an Inspection
Back in the day people didn’t use home inspectors before they purchased their home. Then when they found out all the problems that hadn’t been obvious, they were stuck.
In an article by Marcie Geffner entitled “Goodbye Inspection, Hello Trouble,” dated Jan. 2, 2011 in the Official Site of the National Association of Realtors, Marcie talks about one of the strange things that happens in a hot real estate market, like in San Francisco, considered one of the nation’s hot real estate markets.
How Do You Get the Home of Your Dreams?
Drive around in any subdivision and you will see homes on sale.
They may be fixer-uppers or look great on the outside. You are interested, but you aren’t exactly sure what you want. Before you take up a realtor’s time, you and who you will be sharing the space with need to sit down and think about what you would like.
