How are closing costs calculated?

Closing costs are an essential aspect of the home-buying process, encompassing a variety of fees and prepaid expenses. Understanding and preparing for these costs ensures a smoother transition to homeownership and helps avoid unexpected financial strain at closing. They typically range from 2% to 5% of the home's purchase price and include a variety of fees for different services required during the closing process. Services may include lender fees, appraisal fees, inspection fees, government recording fees, and homeowners insurance to name a few.

What is the oldest home found in this area?

The Branson Tri-Lakes region has a rich history. Some of the area's oldest homes date back to the 1800s.

are home loans available for historic homes?

Yes, it is possible to obtain a home loan for a historic home. However, there may be some additional considerations or requirements when financing a historic home, as these properties can sometimes be more complex to finance than more modern homes.

Lenders may require a detailed assessment of the property's condition and value, as well as an evaluation of the proposed renovation or restoration work. In some cases, the lender may require the borrower to have a detailed plan in place for the work that will be done on the property, including cost estimates and a timeline for completion.

It may also be more difficult to obtain traditional financing for a historic home, as these properties may not meet the standards set by some lenders for more modern construction. In these cases, it may be necessary to explore alternative financing options, such as a rehabilitation loan or a grant from a preservation organization.
