New Construction Novi Contract: Things to Consider Before Signing


Conquest Real Estate shares items to consider before one signs up for a new construction Novi contract.

Purchasing your first home can be emotionally drenching—it’s scary and exciting at the same time. Owning your own house just gives you the feeling of stability and security; it’s one of the most anticipated experiences of any individual who looks forward to settling down. Having a place to call your own, participating in a community you like, and a time to slowly ease into aging; these things complete life and we make it a point that comes to pass.

However, buying a new construction Novi MI is a major financial decision. Before signing on the contract, consider these factors Conquest Real Estate has listed down below:

·         Are you ready to move out? You may have a tendency to find a home in an area where you have previously lived. This may sound like a great idea, because you are familiar with the community, amenities and the climate. However, don’t limit yourself; go on and do your search around. You may find better neighborhoods which offer a great deal on lands other than what you have initially set your eyes on.
·         Are you committed to finance your new construction Novi? This is one of the biggest decisions you may ever make, but it could turn out to be one of the best, if done right. Set up a budget and stick to it; if you’re still in doubt, it is better to talk to your real estate agent about what potential financial convenience you may possibly have.
·         Are you prepared to work with a lawyer? Conquest Real Estate suggests you to have a legal advice from this professional before signing into an agreement. This will protect you from hidden costs by your builder. With this, you are assured that this is a right acquisition as your lawyer performs all the significant checks.
·         Are you ready to be pre-approved? This makes your negotiation with your builder easier as you know what house model is within your budget.

Buying a new construction Novi MI may involve a lot of work, but the labor is worth it. Know more about this matter by consulting Conquest Real Estate at http://www.ConquestRealEstateGroup.com.

Southern California’s real estate market had its strongest February in six years, as a record share of homes sold to absentee buyers and the move-up market gained momentum.

There were 15,945 sales of new and resale houses and condos across Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties, 1 percent more than February 2012 when 15,780 sales were logged in the six-county region, a new real estate information report says.

“We are at a six-year high since the start of the year,” said DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage.
Even so, sales in the Inland region declined, falling 5.9 percent in San Bernardino and Riverside counties to 4,792 from 5,093 in February 2012.

Realtors have blamed the decline — amid pent-up demand, increased consumer confidence and low mortgage lending rates — on sparse inventory.

The upshot of the sparse pickings has had a teeter-totter effect: It’s pushed the February median home sale price up more than 18 percent.

The median price of a home sold in Riverside County jumped to $228,000 from $193,000 in February 2012. In San Bernardino, the median sale price climbed to $175,000 from $148,000 one year earlier.

LePage agreed low inventory drives prices up, but he suggested that other factors are also in play.


Traditional buyers and sellers drop out of the market around the holidays, leaving the field open to a higher concentration of super-motivated customers who include investors.

Riverside County had 38.4 percent of all home and condo sales go to absentee or second-home buyers in February, a record since 2000 when this data began to be kept. San Bernardino County’s hit a record-high the month before with 38.9 percent of its sales going to absentee or second-home buyers.

The percentage of cash buyers rose, as well. February data reflected near-record cash-buy levels of 41.3 percent in Riverside County and 40.6 percent in San Bernardino County.

Also, move-up markets gained traction.

The median-price paid for all new and resale houses and condos sold in the six-county Southland was $320,000, up 20.9 percent from $264,750 in February 2012. The double-digit gains have been occurring consistently since last August.

Sales on homes priced between $300,000 and $800,000 rose 33.4 percent year-over year. The number of homes and condos that sold for $500,000 or more jumped 54 percent from February 2012, while sales of $800,000-plus homes increased 62.7 percent compared with one year earlier.

“Most every gauge shows prices are up significantly over the past year,” DataQuick president John Walsh said, before advising to keep price gains in proper context: The median sale price across Southern California region is still 37 percent below the 2007 peak of $505,000. It is trending about where the median was in mid-2003.

The move-up buyer pattern in February appeared to take a similar path in the Inland counties.
Total sales on Riverside County homes priced under $200,000 fell 30 percent from February 2012, LePage said. Homes and condos in the $300,000 to $800,000 price range rose 27.2 percent. Homes priced above $500,000 are up 19 percent in Riverside County, but still represent only 6 percent of all transactions.

Home sales at prices under $200,000 in San Bernardino fell 21 percent from February 2012, while sales in the $300,000 to $800,000 range rose 53 percent. “If you set the bar at $500,000 plus, the number of sales jumped 78.4 percent,” LePage said, “but only 5 percent of all sales were in this category.”

Warren Buffett to buy Prudential within 5 years

(Courtesy of Orange County Register)
by Jonathan Lansner and Jeff Collins


Billionaire investor Warren Buffett revealed in a recent letter to shareholders that he now owns 67 percent of an operation that runs the Irvine-based Prudential Real Estate chain.

And, he said, he will “purchase the balance of those operations within five years.”

It’s the first time any details have been revealed regarding the partnership between Buffett and Toronto-based Brookfield Asset Management.

Buffett and Brookfield announced in October that they were teaming up to form a new national real estate chain, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, with its headquarters in Irvine. It’s the first time the Berkshire Hathaway name will be used for a consumer brand.

According to Buffett’s March 1 letter to shareholders, Berkshire Hathaway’s existing real estate company, HomeServices of America, purchased 67 percent of the Prudential and Real Living franchise operations, which together license 544 brokerage companies nationwide.

The new Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices chain will become operational later this year, with Buffett’s Prudential franchisees converting to the new brand. Other Prudential offices will have the option to change brands or continue operating under the Prudential name and, presumably, its Rock of Gibraltar logo.

Meanwhile, the new chain unveiled its colors and logos this week at the Prudential Real Estate’s sales convention in Las Vegas.

Cabernet and cream will the be official colors, the company said. The font for new yard signs, business cards, logos and the new chain’s “quality seal” will be simple and clean.

Company officials call the new look timeless, reflecting “the brand’s classic heritage.”

“The new Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices logo exemplifies strength and elegance,” said Ron Peltier, chairman and CEO of HomeServices of America.

Said Earl Lee, CEO of HSF Affiliates LLC, which will operate the new chain: "The Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand identity is smart, distinctive and versatile for all markets and price ranges."
