Interest Rates – An inverse relation exists between the interest rates and the property prices. If the interest rates are high, then the prices of the real estate property are lower and vice versa. What’s more, at low interest rates, more people can buy their first homes or second homes or investment property and as the result housing demand is created in the real estate market.

Rent Controls – State restrictions on the rent controls will automatically result in fewer buyers. The rental legislations are subject to change and modification depending on the State. You can search for the latest State rental legislations by typing the keyword, “landlord tenant law” in search engines.

Taxes – The places where high municipal property taxes are prevalent, purchasers are delimited to purchase the real estate property in that region. If the taxes are increased, it is eminent that there would be a drop in real estate prices. There are still many State taxes like the property purchase tax or the speculative tax can also make the confidence of the buyers lose. For the federal tax legislations like the down turn in capital gain tax can also limit the investors from investing in the real estate property market of the area. Therefore, these points play a crucial role in assessing the real estate activity and the prices in general.

Economy – A positive growing economy with high buoyancy makes the investors’ and the buyers’ confidence high. There would be a high market activity marked by increased selling and purchasing of homes, and this would result in increased market prices. And if the market behaviour shows sluggish movement, converse will happen. In such a scenario, both the buyer as well as investor will lose confidence and low market activity marked by poor selling and purchasing of homes, and this would automatically result in depreciation of the market prices of the homes.

Location – A real estate property placed in good and commercially valued location will have high property value as compared to the property, which has low commercial value. Naturally, high commercially significant properties attract more investors’ and buyers’ than any other property.

Land Availability – Factors such as land shortage; zoning restrictions in the municipalities; State land-use laws; and other type of ongoing laws that restrict the land use, would make the housing prices increase.

Public Image – There is certain type of public notion build to an area or the geographical region or the residential property. This can affect the demand as well as the prices of the property to a large extent. There are certain properties located in the States that are much in public demand. Such properties always have an appreciated value.

Immigration/Emigration – A scenic topography with plenty of retiring opportunities, high scale business options; good employment opportunities; tourism etc. aids in attracting people from other countries as well as people from country within. Therefore, immigration to an area increases the property value and conversely emigration results in depreciated property value.

Vacancy Conditions – If the region shows high vacancy levels, the real estate sales can dip and this also affects the confidence of an investor. Conversely, low vacancy levels can increase the activity of first homebuyers and those of investors as well.

Seasonal Factors – There are certain months in a year where the real estate sales move down. This also results in lowest real estate prices. This is also true for the recreational properties and other types of properties.

Political Factors – The State and the municipal government rulings can affect the property prices. This in turn can also affect the demand and the supply of the real estate property.

One of the most transparent benefits of an FSBO home sale to many home owners is that sticking that ‘For Sale By Owner’ sign in their front yard says that they might have some control over the selling of their home. However, what are the benefits of an FSBO home sale, and how do you go about doing it.

While not a ‘benefit’, one of the first things to remember when thinking about an FSBO home sale is that no matter where you are, the entire task can seem somewhat daunting and complicated. Adding to the complications is the fact that not only are there all kinds of legal forms required (if you have ever bought a home you know what I mean), but that requirements may vary from state to state. A California ‘for sale by owner’ home sale is probalby going to be different from a Texas FSBO transaction.

You might wonder that; if going the ‘for sale by owner’ route is so complicated and messy, why am I including this comment in an article for someone who is contemplating putting up their home in a ‘for sale by owner’ offering?

Well, let’s talk about those benefits.

1. The FSBO Kit - Despite the potential complexities, there are many companies which offer what could be called an FSBO kit. Depending upon the company, this kit will provide the homeowner with the FSBO legal forms, and hopefully some guidance on preparation and filing of the ‘for sale by owner’ documents.

However, be advised that an FSBO kit may range from simply the basic or most common forms needed with some instructions on how to fill them out and where to file them, to very complete FSBO kits which include ALL the legal forms needed, instructions on how to fill them out, where to file them, instructions on how to prepare your home for sale, how to advertise your home for sale effectively, and, in some cases, contact with a listing service which will help put the home out in front of prospective buyers.

2. Growing Public Acceptance of the FSBO Process - A few years ago, most buyers would have been wary of a home with an FSBO sign in the front yard. However, since more and more home owners have opted in for this type of home sale, not only are many more people actually looking for those signs, but an entire support industry seems to have sprung up to assist the homeowner who has decided to try the ‘for sale by owner’ route. Newspapers offer advertising packages and guidance, for example, and even some realtors have jumped on the bandwagon by offering assistance and guidance to the homeowner – for a fee, of course.

3. A Desire for Control of the Home Sale Process - I alluded to this above in the opening paragraph. Many people just want to have some control over the process and not feel that they are a pawn in the hands of the real estate agent.

Additionally, some people want to be involved in showing the house, explaining its values and even such simple things as ‘how nice the next door neighbor is’ to prospective buyers. Some people feel that this more personal approach may do more to sell the house than a realtor’s remark about how the owner mentioned that it was a nice neighborhood to live in.

4. Saving Real Estate Commissions and Fees - I saved this for last, just because I knew you wanted to see it first! Actually, I do not necessarily consider savings to be the main reason that ALL people choose to go with an FSBO home sale, but it is certainly a primary factor for a large percentage of home sellers. On the other hand, many of us simply believe that we don’t mind paying if we know what we are paying for. When that realtor walks off with a large commission, we often wonder what he or she did to earn it.

While ‘for sale by owner’ will certainly very often offer savings, ranging from small to large amounts, many of us are just happy to know where our money is going. While there is almost no concrete way to measure how much money is actually saved in an FSBO home sale, there will almost always be some savings, if the process is done correctly and efficiently.

For most, the FSBO home sale will be a rewarding experience if done properly. If you are not an experienced home seller, probably the best way to be successful is to do your homework and get your hands on the best FSBO kit you can find.

The stories about buying home in pre-construction usually involve someone “getting in” during the early phases of development when the builders offer good incentives and competitive pricing. These homes can be great investments, but deals like these are harder to find now than they were even five years ago. So, talk to your real estate agent about pre-construction homes (and investing in the Charleston area in general) if this is something you are interested in.

A lot of our clients have opted to buy homes pre-construction because they need time to sell their current home. Building a new home in Charleston usually takes anywhere from four to nine months. We have found that new construction is the best way for people to go ahead and buy a home (reserving a price in the market) but also postpone their closing date (giving them time to sell their house). Along the same lines, most builders only require you to put down a small amount (anywhere from $1,000-15,000 depending on price of house) upfront. After you make this payment, you don’t usually pay any more until the house is built and you close on it. So, if you are still making mortgage payments on your current home, you don’t have to worry about making double mortgage payments until the time that your house sells. Also, if you are an investor, it would be beneficial for you to try to not close for a while so that you can capture the appreciation of the home.

Another benefit of buying homes pre-construction is that you know your home will be low maintenance. Builders are required by law to give specific minimum warranties to ensure that you don’t face any major problems during the first few years of living in your new home. One of the warranties is a minimum of 1-year “bumper to bumper” warranty which ensures that everything in the home is covered by the builder. There is also a 2-year warranty that covers all systems (electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning, etc.) in the home. Another warranty is the 10-year structural warranty which covers foundation and other structural problems.

An obvious benefit of buying pre-construction homes is that you get to choose many features in your home. Depending on the progress of construction, you can often choose flooring, cabinetry, light and plumbing fixtures, etc. You can either go with the upgrades, or you can keep the standard features in order to keep costs down. If you are buying a home during the early phases of development, you can usually choose which floor plan you want to use and even which lot you want to build on.

Although there are plenty of benefits of buying new homes, there are also some drawbacks. New construction homes sometimes sit on smaller-sized lots compared to older homes. Older lot sizes in Charleston are typically about 1/3 of an acre, while newer lots are generally ¼ of an acre. These averages vary according to area, and you’ll find larger lots in general in areas that are farther out in Charleston. Another drawback of pre-construction homes is that you don’t have a definite closing date. Due to weather and building permits, the builders don’t always close on time. A third drawback is that people can’t always walk through the house and see how it looks before you buy. New construction neighborhoods almost always have a model home to show you examples of finishings and upgrades. Although these homes have different layouts and features, they can still give you an idea of the quality of work you can expect from the builder.
