When you buy a home in Albuquerque, the last step is usually the final walk-through. This is an important step in the buying process, as you and your agent will need to carefully look at the condition of the home before you close the deal.

How does this process work, and what should you look for?

A walk-through happens just before settlement. It's your time as a buyer to check the property and make sure any work has been done on the home that was part of the negotiations. The seller and listing agent usually won't be there during the walk-through. That way there won't be as much pressure on you as a buyer as you inspect the property.

What should you check during the walk-through?

• Inspect the outside for any obvious damage
• Run the AC
• Turn on and off all the lights
• Test all appliances
• Run the faucets and check for leaks
• Flush the toilets and check for leaks`
• Open and shut all the doors and windows
• Verify that any agreed upon repairs have been made
• Verify that any fixtures that are supposed to be left behind are still in place

As you check these items, make a list of questions about how systems in the home work and anything else you need clarification on. 

Also, make sure you give yourself plenty of time for the inspection. This is your last chance before you complete the purchase, and you won't have another chance to make sure the home is up to your expectations.

You should also have your Agreement of Sale and inspection reports handy to make sure that anything that needed repaired has been taken care of. You should also take photos of items that have not been taken care of so that you can further negotiate repairs.

A successful walk-through may take time and effort, but it's worth it as it could save you many headaches after you've finalized the purchase.

Most home sellers in Albuquerque don't think that selling a home during the holidays is a good idea. It's a busy time of year for most people.

But there are some real benefits of selling your home during the holiday season. There's less competition for one thing, as most people sell during the spring and summer. Buyers also have more time off and are more available for showings.

If you decide to sell your home during the holidays, there are things you can do to make it an easier process.

Stage It Accordingly

You can use the holidays to make your home more inviting to buyers. Just make sure not to overdo it. You can add some simple and tasteful decorations that will warm up the home without hiding it's features.

Focus on the cozy features like the fireplace. And it’s a great time to use the classic real estate trick of baking cookies when someone comes for a showing. Make sure your home is warm temperature-wise as well.

Clean-Up the Curb Appeal

Winter may make landscaping a little more challenging, but you need to make your yard as appealing as you can. Clean up the yard, clean up the exterior of your home, and illuminate pathways. Also make sure that there’s a mat at the door so people coming to see your house can wipe their feet.

Price It Accordingly

Your agent can work with you to develop the right pricing strategy based on their assessment of the data. Many variables go into pricing, but you may need to go a little lower than you’d like if you are selling around the holidays.

If you’re selling during the holidays, it’s not the time to haggle. During this time of year, it’s often better to price it right from the start instead of making price reductions later.

Work with a Reliable Agent

Working with an experienced agent during the holidays will make all the difference. Sandi Pressley and her team have been rated the #1 real estate agents in New Mexico, so you can count on them to help you make the sale.

Be Flexible About Showings

During the holiday season, everyone is busy and may have more plans than usual, but if you’re selling your home, you need to be flexible and accessible when it comes to showings. It’s a challenging time, so if someone wants to see your home, you need to do everything you can to facilitate that.

If you can manage your expectations before you put your Albuquerque home on the marketing during the holidays, it’s going to help you stay more relaxed and also hopefully help you sell your house faster.

Now that you've found the perfect home for sale in Albuquerque, the next step is to determine how much you want to pay for the home. This leads to getting a signed offer to purchase to the seller. While the whole purchase agreement is important, there are some parts that are critical to understand before you sign. Here are 3 of those parts.

Earnest Money Deposit

The earnest money deposit is the amount of money you’ll be giving the seller when you submit your offer to purchase (or shortly after it is accepted) to show you are serious. This is not the same as a down payment, which is what you give to your lender.

Usually you pay about 1% of the price of the home to the seller, and the money is kept in the broker’s trust account or with the title company. If the seller accepts the offer, the earnest money will be applied to the purchase of the home.

Personal Property

Personal property is anything that is not permanently attached to the house. Sometimes personal property is included in the sale to sweeten the deal. These items will be listed in the purchase agreement or in a separate addendum.

Items of personal property commonly included in home sales include:

• Appliances
• Yard equipment
• Furniture

Closing Date

There are various strategies when it comes to choosing a closing date. Some people feel it’s best to close escrow as late in the month as possible. This is because prepaid interest, which you’ll need to pay at closing, is prorate from the date of closing to the end of the month.

If you're keeping a tight leash on your cash flow, you may want to close escrow early in the month. Your prepaid interest charge will be higher. Yet, because mortgage interest is paid in arrears, you will skip two mortgage payments instead of one.

That said, there are some times that are better for closings, for various reasons:

• Avoid closing escrow near the fall and winter holidays, especially Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve. Real estate professionals, like everyone else, take time off to be with friends and family.

• If you are both selling and buying, you may need a simultaneous close, allowing both escrows to wrap up on the same day. This is a delicate process and it does have its shortcomings, which can be explained to you if you are in this situation.

Sandi Pressley and her team has the experience to walk you through the purchase agreement, line-by-line, to ensure you understand what you’re signing.

You've found the perfect home for sale in Albuquerque and closed the deal. Now for the fun part - buying furniture! But hold on, don't get carried away. Doing so can lead to costly mistakes. When it comes to buying furniture for your home, there are a number of points to consider to make sure you buy the right items.

Measure Twice, Move Once

Will your new luxury leather couch fit through the front door, or any of your doors? There’s nothing more frustrating than buying a piece of furniture and not be able to get it in the house. Also, consider the size of the room you’re placing your furniture. Would it be too big or small? Make sure that you get the measurements on the furniture you’re buying and compare it to the space you plan to put it. You can also download an app for your pad or phone that will help you visualize how furniture will look in your home.

Maintenance

Hardwood furniture is certainly appealing and will last for many years, but it does take more maintenance than furniture made with synthetic materials. Make sure that you have the time and know-how to care for hardwood furniture before you invest in it.

Avoid Fads

Will that trendy chair or sofa still be in style next year? If you want to avoid having your home look dated, consider more classic styles. Classic styles will outlive trends for generations and always keep your home looking good.

Take Some Time

There’s no law that says you have to buy the first piece of furniture that strikes your fancy. It’s a lot like buying a home. Did you buy the first home you saw? Probably not. When you take your time, there’s more of a chance of finding the best products that will compliment your home.

Think Ahead

What are your living plans over the next few years? Are you staying in your home indefinitely? Or are you planning to upgrade in the a few years? Base your furniture choices on your plans as much as possible and you won’t have to spend more money than you need to if you do move.

Cost and Budget

Lay out a budget before you dive into the furniture stores or shop online. And of course, furniture stores have all sorts of sales and plans to get you to buy more than you need. Stay focused on your goals and budget. If you buy furniture using credit plans offered by these store, you will pay more than you need to for items that are not necessarily of higher quality. Remember – furniture stores exist to make money.

If you keep these thoughts in mind when buying furniture for your home in Albuquerque, you can make great choices that will make your home look amazing for years to come.

Every home buyer in Albuquerque wants to make the perfect offer when buying a home. Ideally you won't have to negotiate and you can move on with the deal and move into your new home.

Sure, that could happen. But usually, there's going to be some negotiation to nail down the perfect offer. But sellers are known to reject offers for a variety of reasons. Or they make counteroffers. This is especially likely if you bid low, or when you’re up against multiple competing offers.

Here are a few rules you should know before you start negotiating:

Act Fast

When the seller makes a counteroffer, don't sit on it. You should respond as quickly as possible. The longer you wait, the more space you leave for another buyer to swoop in and nab the property. Also, if a seller senses hesitation, they may decide to withdraw their counteroffer before you even have a chance to respond.

Raise Your Price (Within Reason)

Of course you don't want to overpay for your home. But you may have to up the offer, especially if you initially made a lowball offer. You agent will lend their expertise to determine how much money you should add to the offer.

Before you make an offer, talk with your agent about how high you’re willing to go if the seller doesn’t accept your bid. Then your agent can make the counteroffer look even more attractive by pointing out similarly priced “comps”, recently sold homes in the area of the home that are comparable in terms of square footage and features.

As your agent negotiates, it can feel like things are escalating quickly. It’s stressful. You may feel a sudden urge to do whatever it takes to win.

Before you go overboard, there are two things you must keep in mind:

• You can’t exceed the monetary confines of the pre-approved mortgage you received from your lender.
• You shouldn’t overextend your budget.
• Because your counteroffer has to be an amount you’re comfortable spending on a home. You want that new house and to keep living your life. Plus: You’re not out of options yet.

Increase Your Earnest Money Deposit

Increasing your earnest money deposit (EMD) — the sum of money you put down to prove to the seller you’re serious (i.e., “earnest”) about buying the house — is another way to show the seller you have more skin in the game. A standard EMD is typically 1% to 3% of the sales price of the home. Making a counteroffer with a 3% to 4% deposit could be what you need to persuade the seller to side with you.

Demonstrate Patience About Taking Possession

Depending on the seller’s timetable, changing your proposed possession date, the date you take over the property, could sweeten the deal. If the seller wants to stay in the home for a few days after closing, try offering a later possession date. You could also draw up a “rent-back” agreement, meaning the seller pays you rent for staying in the home for a set period of time after the closing date.

Negotiating the right price for a home for sale in Albuquerque can be a challenging task. But if you follow these tips, you can have a better chance of getting the perfect deal on your new home.
