Mortgages in a Nutshell

In these challenging times it is easy to think that it is impossible to get a mortgage if you spend too much time watching the news. The truth of the matter is that there is still plenty of mortgage money still available, but the qualifying guidelines have changed somewhat. If you are considering purchasing property, but are wondering if you can meet the qualifying guidelines there are a few simple steps you can take to give yourself some confidence.

The first step for someone considering purchasing a new home and taking on a new mortgage is to consider the additional expenses they will be incurring. They need to determine the new Real Estate Taxes, Homeowners insurance, POA fees, and the mortgage payment. Once they have a reasonable estimate of this number they can evaluate for themselves if it is something they can handle. The best way to come up with this estimate is to work with a professional Realtor, like John Robinson, and a mortgage professional. John will help you figure out the taxes, insurance, and homeowners association fees, and your mortgage professional can help put together the mortgage numbers.

Once you have determined your proposed monthly expenses you can begin to pull together your financial documents to support your loan application. When you begin working with your lender they will review your information and be able to give you an idea if you are credit qualified. This means your credit score is acceptable and your income and asset document support enough income for you to mange the mortgage payments for the foreseeable future. If at this time you do not qualify, your mortgage lender will be able to help you identify the issues and help you make a plan to correct them.

In a nutshell, the most important thing for a prospective buyer is to know approximately how much their purchase will cost them. These costs need to be considered from multiple perspectives; funds at closing and monthly ongoing expenses. If the buyer is personally comfortable with these costs, they are most likely in a good position to qualify for a mortgage.

“Who is buying Real Estate Now”?

I had a client ask me this today and I thought I would share the answer with you.

On Hilton Head Island, South Carolina there are approximately 339 pended listings as of this writing. Of the pended listings, 242 are homes with an average price of $710,198, 56 are villas with an average price of $368,549, and 41 are lots with an average price of $404,129.

Because of this statistic, we can expect in the next 30-45 days there will be 339 more homes SOLD!

Today’s buyer is savvy, smart and confident. They know the rule to ‘buy low and sell high’. Some people on the other hand know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

These new buyers are educated on both cost and VALUE. They know that Hilton Head Island historically has some of the lowest priced oceanfront real estate on the east coast. They know that the town has protected over 1100 acres from development and they know that it cost the town $144,000,000. This new buyer knows when to take advantage of a great deal while selection is still inviting.

These buyers might be your neighbors, co-worker, clients, or family. This new buyer could be a couple preparing to retire, a young couple or family seeking to build wealth for their future and their family’s future, while creating memories that will last a lifetime.

They are the people at the party that talk about what they have done in their lives, their experiences and travels. These new buyers would rather listen to a story about Spanish Moss and moon beams before a story about a stock certificate hidden away in a safe deposit box.

I guess a better question is, "Are you one of these people”?

There has never been a better time to be a buyer.

Why Is Hilton Head Island so Special?

Here are a few reasons why 39,000 residents call Hilton Head home and countless others have made it their primary destination to vacation and relax.

Did you know:

1) Hilton head was one of the first eco-planned communities in the country. Charles Fraser, the visionary developer of Sea Pines Resort, set the stage with his very aggressive approach to preserving nature for the entire Island.

2) 70% of our population is under the age of 60 years of age. The largest segment of our population (18.2%) is under 18 years of age and the median age on the Island is 35.4 years. Hilton Head is much more than a retirement community.

3) We have one of the best climates on the east coast. We have a semi-tropical climate with an average daytime temperature of 75 degrees and an average evening temperature of only 55 degrees. Our winters last only a few weeks.

4) Nearly 100,000,000 potential visitors live within only a 15 hour drive to Hilton Head and more than 1,000,000 enplanements and deplanements happen at the Savannah Hilton Head International airport.

5) You can get to everything you need including schools, hardware stores, restaurants, hospitals, theaters, dry cleaners and more in 15 minutes or less from anywhere on the Island.

Do you know why people come to Hilton Head Island:

1) 23 golf courses that are meticulously maintained including the famed Harbour Town Golf Links, home of the PGA Heritage Golf Tournament.

2) We have hundreds of tennis courts. Four of our tennis resorts are listed annually in Tennis Magazines Top-50 Resorts.

3) We have 12 miles of white sandy beaches.

4) Or maybe it is one of our many marinas on the Island.

5) Our Island has been preserved with the town purchasing and protecting nearly 1,168 acres at a cost of $144,000,000 or eliminating 4,000,000 square feet of commercial development and 1,365 hotel rooms and 4,210 residential and timeshare units.

6) We have 7 beach parks, 6 recreational parks, and 8 community parks. How many places do you know that have 21 parks for 39,000 residents?

7) Maybe it is because of the 100 miles of bike paths that encircle the island.

I guess the answer to 'WHY' will be different for all of us but the place will certainly be the same HILTON HEAD.

Here is to Spanish Moss and moon beams!

Hope to see you soon!
