FAQs for Homebuyers

Q: I'm a first-time homebuyer. How much money do I need to buy a home?
The cost of the home and the type of mortgage you get are big factors in determining how much money you need. The three costs you need to consider are earnest money—the deposit you make when submitting your offer, the down payment—the percentage of the cost of the home you will pay at settlement, and closing costs—the costs incurred to process the paperwork involved in buying a house. Our New Homes Specialist are available to walk you thru the complicated process, making a daunting task simple and easy. Questions? Contact a Crestline Realty Professional now..

Q: What are the advantages of working with a real estate agent?
A. Real Estate Agents are licensed real estate professionals who can guide you through the home buying process. They can help you determine the price range you can afford, locate homes that may interest you through the multiple listing service, provide access to homes that are on the market, explain the different kinds of mortgages available to you and help you navigate all the paperwork. Working with a Real Estate Agent doesn't cost you a thing; their commission typically comes from the home seller, not the buyer. Questions? Contact a Crestline Realty Professional now..

Q: What are the benefits of buying a new home versus an existing home?
When you purchase a new home, you’re starting with a blank canvas that you can fill with your own personal vision of what a dream home should look like.

Existing flooring, countertops, colors, and more may not suit your taste. Appliances, windows, and other features may need repair or replacement. Later, you may even discover lingering damage in cladding materials or reduced efficiency in mechanical systems.

Product enhancements over the years, along with recent building code changes, have dramatically increased the performance and efficiency standards for new homes built today!

Q: What are the benefits of buying an existing or older home?
In a built-out neighborhood everything is already in place. You can see how the area has developed over time and decide if it's right for you.

Some points to consider:

  • Is it a transient neighborhood or have most homeowners been living there for many years?
  • Resale homes may provide an opportunity for negotiation if the seller is willing to compromise on price or repair costs.
  • Getting a home inspection and establishing a repair allowance can help you avoid the expense of making home improvements immediately.
  • Homes in existing neighborhoods may not have the amenities that new home communities provide. You may feel that the compromise is worth it and you can add improvements yourself later down the road.
  • To decide if buying a resale home is right for you, weigh all the factors: the home’s location and amenities, your purchase costs, and the amount of time and money you want to spend on improvements.

If you have questions about an existing home for sale or a particular community, give us a call at 888-602-2208 or email us now. Our team of professionals is happy to help.

Q: Should I get a home inspection for a home I'm interested in purchasing?
A: Yes and No! If you are buying a previously owned home then getting a home inspection is one of the best ways to find out exactly what you're buying. The cost of a professional home inspection is money well spent in comparison to the costs of unexpected repairs to correct defects in the home you've purchased. But, if you are buying a new home, generally the expense of a home inspection is not needed if you are purchasing from a reputable builder. Select from one of our preferred builders by going to ainsliegroup.com. These builders are industry leaders in the home building community of Tidewater Virginia and have won numerous awards from the home building community.
