When it comes to real estate investing, the reality is no one has a crystal ball. We only know what the right time was to buy or sell by looking at history, hindsight being 20/20. The answer to this question is “Yes” all you must do is find a house or property you love that makes sense, that you would own for a long time, it’s in a good location and in a decent shape, lock in a long-term mortgage and sleep well.
The best answer is “as many as it takes to find a home that works for you”. Purchasing a home will most likely be the single largest investment you will make, so it is important to make sure you find a home that meets your current and future needs. It’s best not to look at just one home, but also not to look at more than 6 or 7 in one day. It’s common to confuse the features if you view too many in one day. Bring a notepad and pen and take notes on your likes and dislikes of each home.
An acre of land is an area of land equal to 4046.86 square meter. It is often compared to the size of a football field (without the end zones).
In Nigeria, there is a huge demand for affordable housing opportunities. In defiance of global economic changes or meltdown, the property market in cities like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt continually witnesses a sharp increase in prices.
Selling your house is a big task and your house is likely your biggest asset. The key steps to selling your house are first you assess the condition of your house, secondly, you get a price for it, thirdly, you list it and market it, fourthly, you negotiate and accept an offer, Lastly, you prepare paper work and close the transaction.
An accurate appraisal of a home’s worth can make or save you tens of thousands of Naira on a prospective deal. Determining how much a house is worth begins with an assessment of the prevailing domestic economy as it relates to local real estate prices. You must learn to monitor the price action of the comparable real estate, or comps, which are groups of homes in your neighbourhood with similar qualities.
Recently sold properties that are similar in size, location, and amenities to the home for sale are considered “comps”. You may hear this word when an appraiser or Realtor is helping to determine the fair market value of a property.
An appraisal is an estimate of the value of a piece of property by a licensed, trained, and experienced individual called an appraiser. They are usually required by a lender to determine how much the property is worth in ascertaining how much they will loan on the property.
