Financing Your Home >When Interest Rates Rise

Many people fall out of the home buying market when interest rates start to go up. This is often a mistake. Many of the best mortgages deals become available when lenders are competing for new business and sellers are competing within a smaller buyer pool. You just have to know how to keep the costs down in order to counter the higher interest rates.

One of the best tricks is the buy-down. In a buy-down, a fee is paid at the closing to get a lower interest rate. In a soft market, an anxious seller may be lured into to paying all or part of the buy-down. Another approach is to get the seller to pay some of closing costs, thus lowering the amount of cash a buyer needs to close. Frequently the seller's costs can be used as a write-off by the buyer. Always consult with your tax advisor if you are considering such an arrangement.

If the market is softening due to rising or higher rates, the price itself becomes an area where a buyer may be able to save a lot of money on a house through skillful negotiating. Lower prices mean lower loan amounts, so don't be discouraged by higher rates--use them to your advantage.

My name is Sarita Dua. I am a techie, a first-generation born Indian, an engineer, a Mac user, an MBA, a mom, and a full-time realtor. Not necessarily in that order! I am committed to helping you achieve your real estate goals. People are loyal to their trusted service providers —their hairdresser, mechanic, banker, and travel agent, but their experience with realtors usually does not result in the same relationship of trust and open communication. I am working hard to change that. I put my all into everything I do, and I hope people will see and value the energy, enthusiasm, and experience I put to use on behalf of my clients. The result is a great home and a continuing relationship. I find my experience in technology, marketing, finance, and deal structure has allowed many buyers and sellers to fulfill their real estate dreams. I am devoted to making sure my clients are satisfied, and in fact almost ALL of my business is based on personal referrals, which is exactly how I want it. It means the world to me that clients come back to me, and send their friends, families, and colleagues my way too. Real estate is not about sales, it is about people, and I listen to both what is said and what isn’t said. Finding a fit, for buyers or sellers, takes energy, tenacity, market knowledge, creativity, and devoted personal attention. Perhaps it would have been easier to just say I am a realtor. I love what I do. I feel I am good at it. And I would be honored if you considered me as “your realtor.” Whatever real estate questions you may have, big or small, ask me. I will be honest, and back up what I say with proven plans that generate results. Asksarita.com is your real estate resource, and I’m here for your real estate needs. www.asksarita.com
