Generation X and Y: More Knowledgeable about Homeownership since Housing Crisis


The housing crisis has made Generation X and Y more knowledge about homeownership according to a Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, the online survey of 1,001 members during the Summer.  69% were ready to buy but unsure if they can maintain their lifestyle and the responsibility of homeownership while 61% have landed a secure job to start their path to homeownership.    

The future soon-to-be-buyers have stated that the tops three research before buying a home was home prices in prime neighborhood, interest rates and the securing a loan. I would say these are great areas to focus on. 

62% said that adjusting their lifestyle to save a home, 40% would work a second job or 23% would move back home with their parents.  

Sounds like the ups and downs of the housing crisis has influenced the Gen x and Gen Y about the risks and rewards of home-buying.

Flipper lists Rihanna's former home



I'm not much of a celebrity real estate follower. But i do love a good design and a great remodel of any home! 

The investor bought this house last year for about $3.3 million.  The home was a short sale with major issues, according to the LA.Curbed.com article.  Rihanna lost $2 million when she sold her home last year. The investors added lots of upgrades and the home is on the market for $9.95 Million with Valerie Fitzgerald Group.  

The 8,520-square-foot Beverly Crest contemporary sits on about three-quarters of an acre with unobstructed canyon and city views. Amazing remodel of the home!

What every Buyer needs to know!

Before you start searching the MLS for your dream home, take a look at these tips that every buyer should know.

1) GET PRE-APPROVED!! Get yourself pre-approved by your local bank or a mortgage banker.  Find out what is your price range before "falling in love" with a home that may not fit your budget.  Remember that most pre-approval letters are good for three months.  

2) Credit Scores - Mortgage rates are based on your credit score.  It's true that interest are the lowest but the interest rates you see advertise are often interest rates based an excellent score. You can get a free credit score on the internet.

3) Savings - make sure you have enough funds to cover your downpayment, 3 months of your "soon-to-be mortgage" payment, and closing cost (estimate 3% to 4% of the purchase price).  

4) Make a "Wish List" with your top five "Must-Haves" - it's easy to lose focus during your home search.  Remember, if you find a home or condo with 85% of your wish list - it's a contender!  

5) Choose a realtor that you are comfortable with.  You will be spending a lot of time together - during the homes tours to the close of escrow.  

6) Have fun! This is an important life changing event!
