Empowering You IN Every Move

homeperqs Stop chasing brand-new listings in San Diego. 🛑 The best deals right now are hiding in homes sitting for 40+ days. That’s where sellers are actually ready to negotiate. Here’s the 4-step playbook: 1️⃣ Target aged listings: Look for properties on the market 40+ days. 2️⃣ Offer under asking: Keep it respectful, but leave room to negotiate. 3️⃣ Ask for closing costs: Make the seller pay them to keep cash in your pocket. 4️⃣ Request a rate buydown: Have the seller subsidize your monthly payment. 💬 Would you buy a home that's been sitting 40+ days, or does aged inventory scare you off? Drop your take below! 👇 📌 Save this for your home search and send it to a friend house hunting in SD! #SanDiegoRealEstate #NorthCountySD #HomeBuyingHacks #FirstTimeHomeBuyer #RealEstateTips #HouseHunting

homeperqs A little buyer hack that can save you thousands: Whenever you can, book your home inspection for the morning after it rains. Rain puts a house through the ultimate stress test. In older attics or homes with complex roofs, you almost always find water stains. On a sunny day, an inspector can’t easily tell if that stain is from ten years ago or ten minutes ago. When it rains the night before, active leaks show up immediately. No guessing, no wondering—just clear proof when negotiating repairs. If you’re under contract and see rain in the forecast, try to grab that next-day slot. And of course call @keeneyepropertyinspections the company we trust with home inspections. #SanDiegoRealEstate #HomeInspectionTips #FirstTimeHomeBuyer #RealEstateAdvice #HomeBuyingHacks

homeperqs Think you need all-cash to buy those discounted San Diego condos? Not even close. Our DMs blew up after James’s video: “Can I buy one of these if I need a mortgage?” Short answer: Yes. Financed buyers have the exact same shot through non-traditional lending. It’s what we use for our clients every single day, and the process works just like a conventional loan. You don't need bags of cash to grab these opportunities in San Diego right now. Shoot us a DM if you want to take advantage. #SanDiegoRealEstate #SanDiegoCondos #RealEstateFinancing #FirstTimeHomeBuyerSD #SanDiegoRealtor

homeperqs California just signed Assembly Bill 2050 into law—and if you own or are looking to buy a condo, this is going to affect your bottom line. 🚨 Starting in 2032, HOAs will be legally required to strictly fund their 30-year reserve projections. If an HOA is underfunded, dues will spike, or home buyers could face sudden special assessments to make up the difference. For Buyers: An underfunded HOA could hurt your monthly budget or disqualify your loan. For Sellers: Poor HOA reserves can slow down your deal or turn buyers away. Before you make a move in California real estate, you have to check the HOA reserve study. Got questions about how this impacts your buying or selling power? Shoot us a DM or reach out directly—let’s talk through it! 📩👇 #CaliforniaRealEstate #AB2050 #CondoLife #CARealtor #HOAReserves
