Thinking about buying a house in Albuquerque? Whatever your reason for moving, there are a few things you should consider before you make the leap. To make your transition as smooth as possible, here are four tips.

Pack early

A move to a new location is never easy, especially when you have to pack up everything you own. However, you can simplify the process by doing a few things. Packing early is one of the most important things you can do. By packing in advance, you can reduce the stress of last-minute packing. 

Furthermore, you can sort through your belongings to determine what you need and can live without. The pack-up process will be much easier for you since you'll be able to take your time and arrange everything as you see fit. 

Label Boxes Clearly

After a long day of driving, arriving at your new home only to realize that you cannot find your toothbrush is frustrating. It's always a hassle to move, but labeling your boxes correctly can make it a lot easier. First and foremost, label each box with its contents clearly. 

Identifying the boxes containing the items you need will save you time when unpacking. In addition, try to group similar items so you can unpack each room in one go. For example, all your kitchen items can go in one box, while all your bathroom items can go in another. You can make your move a breeze by taking the time to label your boxes correctly.

Pack Smart

In order to make a move as easy as possible, packing boxes correctly is essential. Pack heavier items on the bottom of boxes and lighter items on top, as this will prevent the boxes from tipping over and make them easier to handle. 

In addition, it will help to prevent items from shifting during transport and breaking. So, when packing for your next move, put the heavy stuff on the bottom and the light things on top. Your back will thank you later.

Use Bubble Wrap and Packing Peanuts

It is important to protect fragile items during transit if you are moving them. Bubble wrap and packing peanuts can be used to accomplish this. Your items will be cushioned and protected from breaking during the move with the help of these materials. 

So, if you have any delicate items you're worried about, pack them up with bubble wrap and packing peanuts, which will give you peace of mind knowing that they're well protected.

These simple tips can help to make moving a bit easier, even if it is a stressful experience. Start packing early, label your boxes correctly, and pack smart to reduce the hassle of moving. So if you're preparing for a move, keep these tips in mind. They just might make your transition a little bit easier.

Do you know how much your Albuquerque home is worth? It will probably be about the same price as other homes in your neighborhood that have sold recently and are similar to your home.

These homes and their values are known as "comps", or comparable sales. Knowing the value of comps in your area in Albuquerque will give you the best idea of the current estimated value of your home.

Knowing how much homes similar to yours, called comparable sales (or in real estate lingo, comps), sold for gives you the best idea of the current estimated value of your home. The trick is finding sales that closely match yours.

What makes a good comparable sale?

The ideal comparable sale is a home that is almost the same as your house int he same subdivision. But that kind of scenario isn't as common. Here are other factors to consider:

Location:

The closer to your house the better, but don’t just use any comparable sale within a mile radius. A good comparable sale is a house in your neighborhood, your subdivision, on the same type of street as your house, and in your school district.

Home type:

Try to find comparable sales that are like your home in style, construction material, square footage, number of bedrooms and baths, basement (having one and whether it’s finished), finishes, and yard size.

Amenities and upgrades:

How many upgrades does the comp have? Does it have the same amenities as your home, such as AC, a deck, or a pool? Does the community it's in have similar amenities?

Date of sale:

Home values fluctuate, so you can't use a value from a year ago. In fact, most lenders say that comparable sales can be no older than 90 days.

Agents can help adjust price based on insider knowledge

Of course, it's very difficult to find an exact clone of your home and neighborhood in most cases. That's where the expert advice of your agent comes in. An experienced real estate agent will examine the differences between your home and comps to adjust the value to match your specific home.

Your agent has certainly been in a lot of homes in your neighborhood, so they know all sorts of details about the comps in the area. They read the comments from other agents in the MLS (multiple listing service) and have heard what other realtors, lenders, closing agents, and appraisers said about the comparable sale. You can rely on the experience of Sandi Pressley and her team to get the most accurate estimate of your Albuquerque home possible.

More ways to pick a home listing price

If you’re still having trouble picking out a listing price for your home, look at the current competition. Ask your real estate agent to be honest about your home and the other homes on the market.

Next, put your comparable sales into two piles: more expensive and less expensive. What makes your home more valuable than the cheaper comparable sales and less valuable than the pricier comparable sales?

Are you thinking about buying a vacation or investment home in Albuquerque? What's the difference between the two, and why does it matter?

There are a few differences in mortgage rules for a second home in Albuquerque as compared to your primary home. You should also know the key differences between buying a second home and an investment property, since these terms are often used interchangeably.

What Does "Second Home" Mean?

In addition to your primary residence, a second home is a property that you live in part of the year. A second home is usually a vacation home, but it can also be a place you go for work. Maybe you have a condo in a city where you often work, but it's not your main residence.

Getting a mortgage for a second home usually requires it to either be in a vacation or resort location, or to be at a certain distance from your primary residence.

Loans for second homes usually have lower interest rates than loans for investment properties.

There is also likely to be a Second Home Rider attached to your loan.

Under the rider, you are obligated to occupy and use the property as your second home. There cannot be any agreements requiring you to rent the property or give a management company or third-party control over its use, or the property cannot be part of a rental pool or timeshare.

It is important to note that while this is the general definition a lender might use, every lender will have their own requirements.

For instance, some lenders won't give you a second home loan if you plan to rent out your home. There are others who will give you a loan as long as you are planning to live in the home for a certain number of days every year, even if the house is also going to be rented.

What About Financing An Investment Property?

The financing process for a second home differs from that of an investment property, so understanding the differences is important. A second home is typically easier to finance than an investment property.

Most second home mortgages have rates that are comparable to those for buying a primary home, and credit requirements are similar as well.

Investment property mortgages are harder to qualify for, and the interest rate and origination fees are likely to be higher.

It doesn't mean investment property mortgages aren't beneficial.

You might be able to get a loan more easily if you own an investment property because the property will generate cash flow to cover your loan and other expenses.

What About the IRS?

As far as comparing a second home with an investment property, the IRS has its own guidelines. You can use a property as a second home if you use it at least 14 days each year, or 10% of the time you rent it. It's an investment property if you don't meet that standard.

The question is, why is it important?

Mortgage interest can be deducted from your tax return if you own a second home. Up to $750,000 in qualifying residential debt can be used to offset interest paid.

In the case of an investment property, you can take the same deduction, but you can deduct interest on the mortgage as a rental income expense.

If you own an investment property, you can claim a depreciation expense, which will reduce the amount of your rental income that is taxable. Regardless of how the IRS classifies the home, if you use it and rent it, you have to divide expenses according to when you use it.

Lastly, if you're considering fudging the truth, don't do it. If you aren't honest about your intended use of the property, then it can be considered mortgage fraud, which is illegal.

It's already a stressful process when you buy a house in Albuquerque. Home inventory is low right now, despite falling prices in many markets and rising interest rates. The shortage of inventory has led some buyers to waive home inspections or use escalation clauses in their contracts, which they wouldn't normally do.

Whatever you do to get your dream home in Albuquerque, don't skip the final walk-through.

You should walk through the house again after making an offer to ensure it is still in good condition. It is your responsibility to ensure that the seller completed the repairs or improvements you negotiated.

Who Comes to the Final Walk-Through?

The final walk-through is usually attended by the buyer and the buyer's agent. Buyers can inspect everything at their pace without feeling pressured by sellers or their agents since they're usually not present.

A builder or contractor may come if the house is new. A walk-through of a new build is primarily intended to identify cosmetic issues. There will be high expectations since the home is brand new.

In cases where issues were discovered during a home inspection that needed to be corrected before closing, the inspector may need to return to make sure everything was done correctly. If you have another inspection, you should schedule that before you do your final walk-through.

Scheduling

Usually, you'll do your final walk-through within 24 hours of closing. Your agent can help you schedule and coordinate access times with the seller's agent.

The final walk-through is often performed the night before or even on the way to the closing. 

It depends on you, your agent, and the house how long a final walk-through takes. If the home is small, it can take 15 minutes. Extra time might be needed if you have a pool or a detached building. If the house is larger, it may take an hour or more.

Do not feel rushed, so take your time. Make sure you check everything.

It’s Not a Home Inspection

It's important to remember that your walk-through isn't an inspection. This is an opportunity to address any issues raised during the inspection.

During the walk-through, your agent should bring documents that provide guidance and confirm everything is as it should be. A seller's disclosure form, inspection report, and repair amendments agreed to by the seller will be included in this documentation.

If the seller made repairs after the inspection, ask for receipts, which they should bring with you to the walk-through.

There’s no fee for a walk-through either—it’s just part of the process.

What If You Find An Issue?

Finding a major issue during a final walk-through can be a serious issue. Approximately 5% of contracts were terminated in January of this year due to non-compliance.

A minor issue doesn't necessarily mean it's a deal breaker. What might end up happening is that you delay your closing a few days to fix the problem or request a credit at closing so you can deal with the repairs needed after you move in.

Negotiations are usually the best way to resolve issues. If it isn't a big deal, your agent might even recommend proceeding with the closing. Unfinished repairs like missing appliances or major property damage cannot be overlooked. At this point, most sellers will want to make things right.

Can You Back Out?

Unless there's a significant change in the property's condition, it's tricky to end your purchase agreement after a final walk-through. It's better to try and work it out so that the seller gives up the money needed to make the repairs if there's something small.

Depending on your real estate contract, you may be able to back out if the property doesn't meet your expectations.

In order to increase storage space and comfort, avoid cleaning, and move easily around the kitchen after years of collecting different types of utensils, kitchen essentials, and kitchen appliances, it's a smart idea to renovate your Albuquerque kitchen. Make your kitchen more organized and functional with these new-age kitchen remodeling ideas. 

1. Splash Paint

If you want a loud vibe in your kitchen, try bright colors, or if you want a timid vibe, try light colors. Finish it off by applying textures or floral designs. Depending on the color palette and the color contrast, you can choose a different color for each wall. Paint a fresh coat over old cabinets, racks, or furniture too to give the kitchen a fresh new look.

2. Racks for space utilization

To keep your kitchen organized, install open shelves or racks over the upper half. Those racks can be used to store expensive kitchen essentials such as glass, marble, and ceramic. It is easier and faster to find what you need when you are in a hurry by putting a glass door over your kitchen racks. 

3. Wood Flooring

In addition to minimizing the risk of tripping over wet floors, wood flooring gives the kitchen an ethnic farm look. Kitchens are a great place to install wood flooring. The natural wooden color negates the dirtiness of the kitchen floor too. 

4. Kitchen Cabinets

In addition to increasing storage space in the kitchen, better cabinets help keep it neat and organized. Cabinets made of stainless steel or wood last longer. Cabinets can be finished with a rich metallic or marble finish on the outside. It is more affordable to reface your kitchen cabinets, which will improve their condition as well as their décor.

5. Kitchen Dimmer Lights

Elegant kitchens feature dimmer lights. While cooking, you can increase the brightness of the dimmer lights while dimming them for a romantic dinner together. By dimming the light, you can balance your own mood and vibe. It is going to be an obsessively satisfying renovation for the kitchen.

6. Tile Backsplash

If you install a tile backsplash near your stove and chimney, you will spend less time cleaning the kitchen. A wet cloth or kitchen cleaner can be used to clean those tiles. It is a better and smarter option for kitchen renovations because cooking oil, dust, and dirt cannot penetrate tile.

7. Upgrade Kitchen Appliances

Rather than spending a lot of time working in the kitchen, let kitchen appliances take care of a few of your chores. Dishwashers can do a lot of your cleaning for you when they are installed alongside kitchen cabinets. A microwave will heat cold storage food from the refrigerator, mixers, grinders, and juicers will make cooking so much easier.

Everyone needs a well-organized, efficient, and functional kitchen. We spent most of our time in the kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the house. Our meals are prepared here to start and end the day. Renovating the old kitchen is an essential and fruitful investment.
