How long does it take to actually buy a house?

It generally takes about 30 to 45 days to close, though this can vary depending on factors like the type of loan, the appraisal and inspection processes, and the responsiveness of the buyer and seller. In some cases, delays can occur due to issues with financing or paperwork, but a well-organized transaction often falls within this time frame. Our cash transactions often close in less than 30 days.

Are home inspections really necessary on a new construction home?

If you skip a home inspection, you risk uncovering serious issues only after purchasing the property, which can lead to unexpected expenses and significant repairs. Hidden problems like structural damage, faulty electrical systems, plumbing leaks, or pest infestations might not be immediately visible but could cost thousands of dollars to fix. Additionally, without an inspection, you lack leverage to negotiate repairs or price adjustments with the seller, potentially leading to a less favorable purchase. This lack of insight into the property's true condition can result in financial and safety concerns, impacting the overall value and livability of your new home.

What is a lead paint disclosure used for?

Every purchaser of any interest in residential real property on which a residential dwelling was built before 1978 is notified that such property may present exposure to lead from lead-based. The seller of any interest in residential real property must provide the buyer with any information on lead-based paint hazards from risk assessments or inspections in the seller's possession and notify the buyer of any known lead-based paint hazards. Prior to purchase, a risk assessment or inspection for possible lead-based paint hazards is recommended.
