asked questions
Have questions about buying or selling a home? Michelle has the answers. Drawing from her extensive experience and deep understanding of the local market, she addresses many of the common questions her clients have. Discover Michelle's insights and get clarity on your real estate journey.
Pre-sale inspections are a good idea, so you know the condition of the home. If you get into contract and don’t have inspections done, the buyer will do the inspections and then can try to renegotiate the price depending on what is found. You may then wish you had gone with a different offer.
PMI is private mortgage insurance. It is usually required when you have a conventional loan and put down less than 20% or the home’s purchase price.
Prop 19 has several parts to it. For those who are 55+, it allows you to take the tax basis you currently have to your new home.
The home price is usually more important than the interest rate as you usually can refinance when interest rates change. The key is to find the home you love. You marry the home and date the interest rate!
November and December tend to be the months where buyers can get the best deals.
In general, in our area, the best time of year to sell is the spring. If pricing are dropping, the best time to sell is now!
Now is a good time to sell as long as you have a plan of where you want to go.
