Home inspections have evolved into an essential component of the home-buying process. Whether you select an appointment viewing, an open viewing, or a combination of the two, a viewing brings you one step closer to selling. The benefit of a Building inspection is that the seller shows as many people as possible, and the more people visit your house, the higher your chances of selling. What exactly is a pre-sale building inspection? A pre-sale inspection is a third-party evaluation of the condition of a property. The building inspector's report indicates any crucial faults or maintenance concerns on the property.

A preview is a vital component of the property purchasing process since it allows the buyer to examine the property's condition before making an offer. Pre-sales inspections... Read more →

A boom in house sales across New Jersey has reduced housing stock by 50% compared to this time last year. Recent uncertainty in the housing market has created a backlog of homebuyers who are now taking advantage of low-interest rates. And with a growing trend of leaving major metropolitan areas, more suburban but still well-connected towns in Camden County are proving popular. This is great news for sellers as competition over the low inventory pushes house prices up to over 20% higher than they were in January 2020. At the same time, the moratorium on foreclosures is reassuring for buyers who, having found the right house, are in a position to pay a little extra for a long-term home in the Garden State.

Buying a property is a big decision and an expensive one, so it’s good to be cautious when you’re looking at different properties you might be able to buy. If you make a mistake, you could lose a lot of money and, if you intend to live in the property yourself rather than rent it out and become a landlord, you’ll feel uncomfortable in a place that is meant to be your home. However, it can also be problematic if you are too cautious. Being too cautious could lead to you missing out on the ideal property because you don’t want to risk making a mistake, and you’re holding back on signing any deal.
