Three Reasons to Buy a Home in the Triangle’s Competitive Market

It’s no secret that the Triangle is growing rapidly each and every month. While this growth is great for the North Carolina economy, making Raleigh a candidate for new Amazon and Apple headquarters, it also contributes to a competitive real estate market. From cities like Raleigh and Durham to towns like Apex, Cary, or Holly Springs, the Triangle’s real estate market is booming. For those looking to put down roots—especially first-time buyers—it may seem intimidating. Working with an experienced Flat Fee Realty agent, however, has its advantages when buying a home in the Triangle’s competitive market. 

Our team of local professionals offers three important reasons to work with Flat Fee Realty in the Triangle:

  • Access to MLS: With houses selling so quickly, it is important to be able to see available homes as they come on the market. Searches can be tailored to meet buyers’ interests and needs. For example, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms desired, a range of square footage, and garage size can all be filtered, so buyers can easily see the homes that will appeal to them and their needs most. While updates with these tailored searches can regularly be sent to buyers, buyers are also able to search through available listings at their convenience. 
  • Experienced agents: Buying a home is one of the biggest purchases most people make! Our experienced Flat Fee Realty agents know just what to look for in a home and are happy to answer clients’ questions, so they can make informed decisions. Receiving trustworthy advice from an agent who is familiar with the market and has years of experience in the real estate industry helps buyers to feel more confident when making big decisions in pursuit of buying a home.

  • Expert negotiators: Once buyers find their dream home, it’s time to negotiate. From offers to repairs, our real estate agents have the client’s best interest in mind and our team of professionals know how to navigate the complex and delicate nature of negotiation in the Triangle’s competitive market.

 

Flat Fee Realty agents know that buying a house is an important decision and we are here to help our clients find the home of their dreams in the Triangle with complete confidence. When working with buyers, we are passionate about helping our clients find a house they will be excited to call home.

3 Questions New Home Buyers Need to Ask Before Purchasing Anything

FFR- Jan 19 Pic- Stuart MilesListing a home “as-is” in the Triangle real estate market is a move that definitely benefits the home seller. For buyers, this type of home means a lot of research is required in order to ensure that purchasing this particular property is a good investment. Enlisting the help of a Flat Fee Realty professional will make the opportunity easier to navigate, and we will assist with just the right questions to support a wise real estate decision.

The real estate experts at Flat Fee Realty advise Triangle home buyers to ask these three important questions when considering purchasing a home listed in “as-is” condition:

  • Who is the seller? This may seem redundant, but knowing who the seller is in the case of an “as-is” property is important. If the property was foreclosed on and a financial institution took over the resell, the bank might be unaware of the overall condition of the home, which may need repairs. If the current owner is selling, they may be unwilling or unable to make necessary repairs, so the negotiation process will be more challenging for both the buyer and the Flat Fee Realty agent.
  • What repairs are needed? Buyers are urged to use the due diligence period to their advantage. The listed “as-is” price may be intriguing, yet it’s crucial for buyers to be aware of any damage or problems that the property possesses so they can factor in the cost for repairs. Home inspections may cost some money upfront, but in the end the buyer benefits from knowing the property’s condition.
  • Will the seller negotiate? If inspections show that substantial work is required to make the home move-in ready, buyers should know their options for potential negotiation. The seller may indeed be incapable of making the repairs, so buyers will have to determine whether the investment is a good decision. However, if there’s room for negotiation, Flat Fee Realty in Morrisville will be able to provide guidance during the process.

Homes listed in “as-is” condition may seem like a risky investment, but armed with the right knowledge and resources, such as an agent from Flat Fee Realty, buyers will have the tools necessary to make sound decisions. Contact us today to obtain excellent counsel in the Triangle real estate market!
