La Jolla Real Estate Caravan | Luxury Collection
Buying a home is an exciting process that can sometimes take years or days to find your perfect dream home. Every Wednesday is Broker Caravan in La Jolla, typically we see 20-25 new listings hit the market every week. Did you know that there are over 290 homes for sale in La Jolla right now?
There are 115 pending sales in 92037 currently which is an indicator of an active market. Sometimes Zillow can't give you everything you need, part of getting serious about the home buying process is hiring a local Realtor.
I say local...because La Jolla is a special community where homes often go on sale as a pocket listing...Zillow doesn't ever see those or hear about those, its important to work with a professional who has an inside ear on EVERYTHING about the community. Today we will feature our top favorite 3 new listings and give you 3 Tips on important items to consider before you start your home search process.
1. Carefully consider what you can really afford comfortably, know your max purchase price before you start looking. Get Pre-Approved with one of our favorite lenders, who you work with matters!
2. Do you plan to live here for at least 5 years? Most financial experts will tell you unless you plan to live in a home at least 5 years, just because you live in a buyer's market doesn't mean it's your right time to buy. Especially if you plan on moving in 2 years it would be difficult to recoup the expenses of buying or selling a home.
3. Will buying a fixer upper save me money? Again...La Jolla is a special market, where an abundance of older homes are available on the market, the most important aspect and negotiation tool for a home that needs some work will be your Home Inspection, so don't ever waive that right as a buyer.
