Looking for the Right House, in the Right School Zone

If you have children and you’re considering buying a new home you have probably wondered about the difference in schools from district to district. Not only for educational purpose but also for the type of environment your kid will be around. It’s more important now, than ever, to know your kids are being taught and looked after by someone you can trust.

So before searching for that perfect home you may want to do some research. Bay County has 18 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 5 high schools, 2 multi-grade schools, 3 special purpose schools, 1 adult/technical school, 6 charter schools and one virtual school. However, it can be much easier than you think to research them. Visit www.SoldinFLA.com and click on “About The Area”, then click “Schools”. Here you can get the FCAT Scores for each school, Find out what score the school was given from A-F, Bus routes, Scheduling, Lunch menu, Dress codes plus much more.

Don’t be afraid to visit local schools if your schedule allows. Tour the facility, meet a few of the teachers your kids will be with, and meet the principal. Ask questions and take notes. If you get any negative vibes you’ll know to stay away from that school distract or at least look into it a little more. If your younger ones intend to play sports or any other type of after school activities find out what all the school offers.

If time won’t permit to visit the schools, pick up the phone or get on the computer. With social media what it is today it can be fairly easy to get comments and feedback, in this case, on how well a school is.

While finding the right house is very important, so is the education of your children. So be sure you’re looking for the right house in the right school zone.

If you've ever read our blog before than you've heard us say over and over, "Not all Realtors are the same". We could say it until we're blue in the face but the results speak for themselves. We're happy to announce we close on 8307 Cluster Rd. Panama City, FL. next week after only 3 days on the market. Wait, it gets better... It was listed for 12 months before we 2 different Realtors, FOR LESS MONEY!! How can this be? Its simple! We have an aggressive marketing plan that we put to work the second we list your home. Our marketing plan gets homes sold! Listing a home, putting a sign up, and putting it into the computer isn't going to get you the results you want and need, it takes a game plan.

Today's Interest Rates. What affects yours?

So you're considering buying a new home. For most buyers the first thing they want to do is jump on the internet and start the house hunting. Find that perfect neighborhood and dream home with the mac daddy kitchen. However, the first thing they should do is.... find a bank they like and get pre-approved. As a buyer you'll want to know what price range you should be looking in and what your payments will be. You may decide you'd rather stay a little under what your qualified for as well.
We all know what an interest rate is but how many of us know what affects the rate we get from a bank. Some of the following we can control and other are out of our hands.

The Economy: 
Economic news, good or bad, will affect mortgage bond prices. Home loan rates are directly influenced by what happens here. 

Your Financial Situation:
Income - this will help determine what you're able to afford monthly on your new mortgage. It helps if you've been with your employer for 2 years. If it hasn't been 2 years but you were in the same type of field before that will help. Every bank has different guidelines so be sure to have a couple in mind to check with and compare.

Debt - You may hear a lender mention "debt to income ratio".  A debt-to-income ratio is one way lenders measure your ability to manage the payments you make every month to repay the money you have borrowed. 
To calculate your debt-to-income ratio, you add up all your monthly debt payments and divide them by your gross monthly income. Your gross monthly income is generally the amount of money you have earned before your taxes and other deductions are taken out.  For example, if you pay $1500 a month for your mortgage and another $100 a month for an auto loan and $400 a month for the rest of your debts, your monthly debt payments are $2000. ($1500 + $100 + $400 = $2,000.) If your gross monthly income is $6000, then your debt-to-income ratio is 33 percent. ($2000 is 33% of $6000.)

Credit Score - One of the biggest determining factors or your mortgage interest rate will be your credit score. The higher your score, the lower you interest rate. Over a 30 year mortgage the slightest point up or down on your interest rate can add up to a significant amount of money.

Type of Loan:
The actual type of loan will have a factor on your interest rate. Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and in house loans will all have a different rate, but typically are close.

Rates will change daily. Sometimes just a little and sometimes more. Click here to view mortgage rates.

Tips to Sell Your Home for More Money

It is often said that there are 3 things that sell a home: Price, Location and Condition. Price is typically a direct reflection of the location and condition. As we all know we can't change the location of our house. So, if you want to sell your home and make more money and sell it faster, get out your paint brush and get ready for some fun.
The first thing buyers notice when pulling up to your home.... curb appeal. Make sure your home looks pleasing to the eyes. A buyer without even realizing it has judged your home the second they pull up based on what they see. You don't have to always spend a ton of money to make this happen. If you haven't heard of this thing called Google check it out. You can get tons of ideas and images to help make your yard look clean and inviting.
Sometimes it's easier said than done but a clean house makes for a house buyers can see themselves living in. I've seen it first hand; clothes on the floor and dirty dishes on the counter top. This doesn't help your house make the all-important top 3 list. 
One that is often not thought about is de-personalizing your home. Personal photos, religious items, and things that are "your style". Guess what, they're not everyone's style. You want to make your house inviting. A place they can see themselves living and if all they see is you it can take that away.
