I'm not exactly sure how to phrase this question, but here goes. We live in a 3 bedroom SFH in Woodbridge,

Asked Wed Feb 20 2008, 16:57 by Jill - 22191 - Market Conditions - 8 answers

Paul Eakin answered:

Thanks for the extra details, Jill... one other thing... is it possible to add onto to your home to get the extra space you need? Sounds like everything else is good.... good luck! Paul - Wed Feb 20 2008, 17:52

Hi, Jill.... I guess my first question for you is why do you want to move? Do you need more room for the family, not enough bathrooms, need a bigger yard, etc. Or do you want to cut down on a commute? Whatever the reason, I think it has a bearing on your decision to move vs. staying where you are. It's been my experience that very often if homes are not selling it's because of condition or price or both. If you feel your home is in better condition, and you are in a position to sell it for less than your competition, I would say you might want to sell now. No one can tell with any certainty what the market will do in the future, but you know for certain what the prices are now, and if you can buy more home for the money it may make sense to act on the market you know. Not sure if this helped, but I hope so. Let me know if you have other questions. Have a GREAT day! Paul - Wed Feb 20 2008, 17:38

Quick home buyers - is it worth it?

Asked Thu Jan 24 2008, 12:09 by Jennifer - Alexandria - Home Selling - 7 answers

Paul Eakin answered:

Hi Jennifer.... great question... I would suggest the following:
Research the websites of those "we buy houses in any condition" and see what terms are, then have them come out and see what they would offer you. Then consult a local Realtor to get market value in it's current condition. See what they have to say, and compare the two. Ask the Realtor if they have investors that would be interested in your property. This will give you a starting point on what the house may be worth to different people. Hope that helps.... have a GREAT day! Paul - Thu Jan 24 2008, 12:28

Where do I get free listings of government tax foreclosures in my region?

Asked Thu Jan 10 2008, 12:20 by Warren Neily - Blacksburg - Foreclosure - 2 answers

Paul Eakin answered:

Hi, Warren... here's a link that you might find useful. You can just google government foreclosures and link to different sites and see which are most useful. If you're not already, you may want to get a Realtor to help you by sending foreclosures that are listed in MLS. This will expand the number of properties for you to look at. Hope that helps... have a GREAT day! Paul - Thu Jan 10 2008, 12:36

Would like to buy first house, but not sure how everything works?We are currently renting a 3-bedroom

Asked Mon Jan 7 2008, 09:43 by Buyer 08'? - Woodbridge - Home Buying - 6 answers

Paul Eakin answered:

Hi.... I agree with Timothy's comments... the best place is to start with lenders to see not only what you qualify for but will also be comfortable commiting to on a monthly basis. After that, I would recommend you find a good Realtor to help you start the search. As a buyer, you don't typically pay a commission, so there's every reason to get the experience he or she would have to represent you. A good Realtor can help you with so much more than just finding the home; they can help you through the whole process of what to look for in a lender, the loan, the home inspection, insurance (both homeowner's and Title), the settlement and post-occupancy. FinalIy, search the web for articles that will educate you. I have put in a link below for a generic site that has lots of links to different topics. I hope that helps, and wish you luck in your new adventure! Thanks, and have a GREAT day! Paul - Mon Jan 7 2008, 12:32

Short Refinance

Asked Sat Jan 5 2008, 07:01 by Chris Stewart - 22554 - Foreclosure - 6 answers

Paul Eakin answered:

Hi, Chris..... typically a short refinance is done through the lender you currently have your mortgage with. If you haven't done so already, I would suggest you talk with your lender first and see what they have to say. In this market, they do not want any more foreclosures and should be willing to work something out with you. Good luck with everything! Paul - Sat Jan 5 2008, 07:37
