Closing Costs – Clarksville TN Real Estate

Justin — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:37:09 +0000

A big concern for many people when they first start considering purchasing a home is the CLOSING COSTS! What question is more important than “How much money is going to be coming out of my pocket when buying a home?!”? So when I am first contacted by a buyer looking for Clarksville TN homes for sale I like to address this issue immediately. What I like to explain is that currently in the Clarksville / Ft. Campbell area real estate market we can typically negotiate with the seller to pay ALL of the buyer’s closing costs as long as a suitable purchase price can be agreed upon. In fact, if you are using your VA Loan to buy your Clarksville home the only money that will come out of your pocket, typically, is between $250 – $325 for a home inspection, if you choose to have one done. I strongly suggest that you ALWAYS have a home inspection completed! On the other hand, if you choose to use an FHA loan (non-military / non-veteran) to purchase your home, in addition to paying for your home inspection, you will be required to pay a down payment (minimum of 3.5% of purchase price if a down payment assistance program isn’t used (if available) ) For more information on buying a home in the Clarksville / Ft. Campbell area contact Justin Cory of The MrClarksville.com Team @ (931) 801-5048.

When searching for homes for sale in Clarksville,TN a great option that many people don’t consider initially is Clarksville New Construction Homes. I believe that when people think of building a home in Clarksville or the Ft. Campbell, KY area they think it will be a long, painful process or that they just don’t have the time it will take to build a home. This, in most cases, is just not true. As a Certified New Home Specialist (CNHS) in Clarksville I can ensure that the building process runs smoothly for you from start to finish. Now, as far as not having enough time to build goes, there are home builders in Clarksville, TN that can build your new home in as little as 45 days. Of course this varies depending on the size of the home and other circumstances. Also, there are typically a lot of homes in the process of being built that could be finished for you in even less time!

I am a huge proponent of New Construction Homes in Clarksville, TN because of the advantages my clients have when going this route. When you buy a new home in Clarksville you walk into a house that has never been lived in, which is a great feeling in itself. Also, think about all of the deferred cost items and possible issues an existing home may have. With an older home it is likely that many items will need updated and/or replaced in the near future. This includes fixtures, carpeting, and possibly more costly items such as a new heating and cooling unit, roof, etc. With a Clarksville New Construction Home everything in the home will be brand new. All of your appliances will have the original manufactuer’s warranties and the builder will provide a 1 year home warranty as well.

A New Construction Home in Clarksville, TN is a great option when searching for homes for sale in the Clarksville/Ft. Campbell Area that definitely deserves to at least be considered when you begin your home search.

CLARKSVILLE REAL ESTATE & FORT CAMPBELL REAL ESTATE – AN INSPECTION IS DIFFERENT FROM A VA APPRAISAL

Justin — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:59:26 +0000

Here at The MrClarksville.com Team we always strongly suggest that you have a home inspection completed on ANY home you buy in Clarksville, Tennessee. However, what we hear a lot are clients saying “We don’t need a home inspection. The VA does that!” This is not the case. The VA does an appraisal NOT a home inspection. An appraisal is different from a home inspection. An appraisal is to estimate the market value of a home, to make sure that the house meets minimum property requirements for the lender, and to make sure that the house is marketable. With a home inspection your Clarksville,TN home inspector will go over your entire home with a fine tooth comb looking for potential safety hazards, major concerns/repairs, items not operating, and deferred cost items. The home inspector will be on the roof, in the crawl space and everywhere in between looking for issues. This is much different from what the VA appraiser does. If you are looking for homes for sale in Clarksville, TN be sure that once you find “the one” that you get a home inspection!
