This question is asked frequently especially in today’s aggressive real estate market. Prices are rising steadily and interest rates are remaining at an all time low. The best way to determine your home’s worth is by contacting a profession real estate agent who knows the real estate market and is a full time realtor. Working real estate on a full time basis has its advantages since the agent is out on the road everyday. Also keeping on top of the industry’s mortgage rates is key to helping prospective home buyers reach their dream.
Marketing properties at the NJ Shore area, particularly, Sea Bright, Monmouth Beach, Long Branch, Rumson and Highlands, has been a passion of mine for the past 30 years. Knowledge of the area and knowing what to look for is key to getting the best possible market price for your home.

What’s my home worth?…. I hear this question often and a lot of home owners are still under water with their home values. According to the Asbury Park Press story posted on Sunday January 31, 2016, “values tick up, but still lag from market heyday”.
Since 2005 homeowners are watching and waiting for home prices to come back up to the market prices back in 2004-2005. Home prices are still not where they were before the bubble burst but, rest assured, prices are climbing. Certain areas have a better growth rate, but all in all, prices are up.
Looking for a home? This is the perfect time to shop for a home since interest rates dropped slightly. Contact me for information on properties for sale or go to my website and see what I see everyday in the MLS – current and up to date information on new inventory. I received this message last night from Dominic DeGrazio of Residential Home Funding – wanted to share this information:
“Just wanted to make you aware that the 10 yr Treasury Note has dropped to 1.86 as of market closing today. These are levels that havent been seen for almost a year now. This has resulted in mortgage rates lowering! With the spring market upon us ( hopefully no more blizzards!), it is an opportune time for buyers to start hitting the pavement to take advantage of these low level mortgage rates.
I am available everyday to assist any of your prospective buyers to be pre-approved for their new home purchase. Depending upon the borrowers information and records, I can perform a pre-approval within 10 minutes. Borrowers, such as self employed borrowers, would require more detailed information for me to receive, to properly perform a effective pre approval.
And if you need any flyers to place at your open houses, detailing some loan program information, or current rates, I would gladly put together for you.
Lastly, this also goes for anyone you may know looking to refinance. Now could be the time to look into a lower rate or reducing the current term of the mortgage.”

Once you have found the home you want to buy, there are several additional steps you need to take to close the sale after the purchase and sale agreements have been signed.
Step 1 Contingency removal: The most common contingencies are inspection, financing and the sale of your current home. These conditions must be removed or waived in writing before the sale on your new home can close.
Step 2 Appraisal and title report: Your lender requires a formal appraisal to confirm the value of the home you’re buying, to use as collateral to secure the loan. The title report ensures that the seller has clear title to the property and has the right to transfer ownership to you.
Step 3 Prepare closing documents: Escrow service companies or real estate attorneys prepare documents that confirm the transaction, prorate funds, etc.
Step 4 Signing of closing documents: Although both parties may have signed closing documents and deposited funds, the sale actually closes when the deed is recorded and the proceeds are available to the seller.
Step 5 Signed documents go to the lender for final review.
Step 6 The deed is recorded and funds disbursed.
Step 7 The seller receives the proceeds and the moving van arrives.
Step 8 You get the keys to your new home
There are many opportunities for surprises or delays in a transaction. Part of my expertise is in troubleshooting problems that arise in the closing process, including anticipating and preparing for potential problems before they arise.
Please email or call me any time if you have questions or would like more information about the closing process. Email me directly at Diane@DianeKaplan.com or call my cell (732)672-0409 to send me a text.
