Identifying high-potential opportunities to ensure clients achieve the highest return on their investments.
The best time to buy is often in late fall or winter when competition is lower, and prices may be more negotiable. Spring and summer tend to have more inventory but higher bidding competition.
The spring and early summer months are typically the best times to sell, as buyer demand is highest, often resulting in faster sales and better offers.
While 20% is ideal to avoid PMI (private mortgage insurance), many lenders allow lower down payments starting at 3-5%. In the Bay Area’s high-cost market, saving a larger down payment can improve your competitiveness.
Expect closing costs to around 1% to 1.5% of the purchase price. These include title insurance, escrow fees, lender charges, and property taxes.
Common options include conventional loans, FHA loans, VA loans, and jumbo loans — the latter being common in the Bay Area due to high property values.
Programs like CalHFA, Golden State Finance Authority, and various city-specific programs provide down payment assistance, grants, and low-interest loan options.
The market is fast-paced, especially in desirable areas like San Ramon, Dublin, Fremont and San Jose. Being pre-approved and ready to act quickly can improve your chances.
Lenders often use the 28/36 rule, recommending that mortgage payments should not exceed 28% of your gross income, while total debt should stay below 36%.
Common Bay Area inspections include general home inspections, pest/termite checks and roof inspections.
