It's easy to call a "for sale" sign posted in the yard and ask the price....but that is not the only number you should consider...
1. What are the taxes on the home? Most likely they will go up when you purchase the house.
2. What are the utility costs? Have you figured them into your future budget?
3. How old is the roof and the appliances? You may have to repair or replace them, sooner than you expected if they are old.....
4. What was the price of the comparable sold properties in the neighborhood?
5. What is the home insurance payment going to look like?
These are just some of the questions to ask when making a purchase.....let a realtor give you the special treatment, and get these answers, and many more, for you!
