Excitement continues to build here on Lake Nacimiento towards the long, summer season. We’re already seeing vacationers taking advantage of their Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch homes this spring and expect the lake to soon be filled people boating, skiing, swimming, fishing and just enjoying all that our beautiful lake has to offer.
Chances are, you’ve stopped by today to learn more about the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market and view some of the homes currently available in Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch. That’s a great place to start! If you’re interested in buying a vacation home or even relocating to Lake Nacimiento as your permanent residence; you’ve come to the right place!
As one who’s worked as a Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agent for a number of years, I enjoy helping buyers find exactly what they’re looking for in a lake home, as well as helping them discover the great Lake Nacimiento lifestyle.
If you’re serious about taking the next step to ensure you’ll be in your Lake Nacimiento home in time for summer; here are a few key tips for helping the process run smoothly.
1. Start Your Search Online– Instead of spending your time searching for open houses or for sale signs, get online to streamline your search. There are many great homes in Oak Shores and Heritage Ranch which you can view here on my Lake Nacimiento website!
2. Get Pre-Approved– Finding the home of your dreams and then shopping for a loan is a risky move, as most home sellers won’t even look at an offer that’s not accompanied by a pre-approval letter. Getting pre-approved ensures you know your exact budget and can save you from a bidding war if many are vying for the same home.
3. Prioritize Your Housing Needs– Finding a home fast means being flexible. The longer the list of requirements, the harder it will be to find a home. Keep your list short and to the point. Focus on the key elements you’re looking for and let the extras fall as they may.
4. Find a Great Agent– This may seem easy, but finding an agent that truly knows the Lake Nacimiento Real Estate market and can show your properties that are right in your price range and meet your style and needs can be challenging. Of course, I’d love to help you in your home search and know that my experience and proven success will make the home buying process an easy one. Bottom line? Do your homework and really research local Lake Nacimiento Real Estate agents.
5. Negotiate Repairs– If an inspection reveals that the home you want to buy requires repairs, taking the responsibility off the seller can help you close the deal quicker. After obtaining estimates, ask the seller for a credit rather than asking them to complete the repairs themselves.
6. Have Cash Ready for Closing– You don’t want to be scrambling for funds at the last minute, so be prepared for this important date. A day or two before closing on your Oak Shores or Heritage Ranch home, you’ll get the final settlement statement, detailing the terms of your loan and all the closing costs. Be sure to get a certified or cashier’s check made out for the total amount you owe at closing, including the down payment since you can’t use a personal check.
7. Have a Plan B– Because not every transaction goes smoothly, be sure you have a property or two as a backup; you don’t want to have to start from scratch!
Hopefully these tips will provide you with insight into the market and what it takes to have a smooth and efficient home buying process on Lake Nacimiento!
