What does an accepted offer mean?
In New York and Connecticut, an accepted offer means that the seller and buyer have agreed to mutually acceptable terms. It is not binding and either party can walk away from the agreement at any point up until the official contract is signed and the downpayment has been submitted.
What is a contingency?
A contingency is a condition put forth by the buyers allowing them an opportunity to get out of the contract without penalty. Examples of contingencies include, but are not limited to, mortgage contingency, appraisal contingency, and an inspection contingency.
What is a typical downpayment amount at contract signing?
In New York and Connecticut, it is customary to submit 10% down at contract signing.
How should I prepare for anticipated closing costs?
Our team has put together a closing cost worksheet to give our buyers an idea of the typical closing costs and estimated costs that they can expect. Reach out to us to receive a copy of this worksheet. You can also reach out to your attorney to better understand these costs based on your purchase price.
Why work with a local expert when buying or selling?
A local expert understands the nuances and not readily available information pertinent to a community. An expert has context on historical market data and trends within a community, which is helpful when either pricing a home for sale or determining long term value when purchasing. Moreover, an expert has relationships within the community that are critical in benefitting the client.
Is it ever too early to start my home search or preparation for sale?
No! The earlier you start either the home search or preparation for sale, the easier it is to build a strategy and educate you on the market. For people who are looking to buy, but are not quite ready to pull the trigger, we offer community town tours, market analysis, and a personalized home search so that you can start to become familiar with inventory and pricing in the communities we explore. For people who are looking to sell at some point in the future, starting early allows us to get ahead of such things as decluttering, taking exterior photos when it’s most advantageous, and getting ahead of municipal requirements to sell. It also allows us to monitor the market and determine the optimal time to list.
