The extra fees and expenses associated with purchasing a home. There are a variety of opportunities in the Central Pennsylvania real estate market for both buyers and sellers.

We know buying a home can be confusing, so we want to answer your most frequently asked questions and share a few helpful tips. Today we’ll cover a big question, “How much will this transaction cost?” Of course, you’ll have to pay the purchase price, but what other expenses can you expect? If you opt for a home inspection, there are several inspection fees to consider. Each one has a price tag between $75 and $500. If you need an appraisal, that may cost you upwards of $500. You’ll have to pay these expenses before you even own the property, but they are worth the cost if you’re committed to the home. You will also have to pay a few fees to start the mortgage process, including an origination fee, homeowners insurance, escrow, property taxes, and title insurance. If the property is located in the city, you may have to pay some city fees. If the house is part of a homeowners association, you may have to pay an entry fee and a monthly, quarterly, or annual HOA fee in the future.  “ It is always best to consult with a real estate professional before purchasing. ” Finally, there will also be paperwork fees to transfer the property to you. There is a Pennsylvania transfer tax of about 1%. You’ll need to factor in document preparation fees, notary fees, courier fees, and a small fee to record the new deed at the courthouse. If you choose to purchase a foreclosure or short sale, there may be money due because of back taxes, liens, or other judgments on the property. It is always best to consult with a real estate professional before purchasing. They can help you understand what costs to expect, estimate the amounts for each cost, and spot any errors.

While it’s still cold outside, prep the inside of your home for the market. There are a variety of opportunities in the Central Pennsylvania real estate market for both buyers and sellers.

If you’re like me, you’re already dreaming of springtime. If you’re considering selling, it’s time to prepare for the spring market. We currently have a strong seller’s market; interest rates are still low, and inventory is still historically low. Now is a great time to sell your home.  While we’re still feeling winter’s chill, you can focus on the inside of your home by preparing it in the following ways: 1. Clean and declutter. This is one of the most common pieces of advice real estate agents give their clients. Focus on one room at a time, and think like a buyer as you clean and declutter. Pack away extra knick-knacks, personal items like photos, and anything else that may collect dust or distract a potential buyer.  “ It’s time to prepare for the spring market. ” 2. Clean windows, sills, blinds, and drapery. Everyone loves a bright and welcoming home, so focus on letting in as much natural light as possible. Light is money. 3. Add a fresh coat of paint. Never underestimate the power of fresh paint. Choose neutral colors and freshen up common areas that need attention, such as baseboards, stairwells, and bathrooms.  Once the weather warms up, you can boost your curb appeal by taking on small projects outside like weeding flower beds, replacing bulbs on exterior lighting, and sprucing up your porch. We love providing our friends, family, and neighbors with excellent advice and trustworthy resources.
