 As a buyer, you are entitled to know exactly what you are getting. Don't take for granted what you see and what the seller or the listing agent tells you. A professional home inspection is something you MUST do, whether you are buying an existing home or a new one. An inspection is an opportunity to have an expert look closely at the property you are considering purchasing and getting both an oral and written opinion as to its condition.

 The Light and Dark Side of Housing
A quote from Housing in America: The Next Decade.
“Sooner or later, something fundamental in your business world will change… strategic inflection points do not always lead to disaster. When the way business is being conducted changes, it creates opportunities for players who are adept at operating in the new way. This can apply to newcomers or to incumbents, for whom a strategic inflection point may mean an opportunity for a new period of growth.” – Andrew Grove of Intel

 There seems to be a long held American belief currently under attack. For over two hundred years, homeownership in this country was a desire of almost every American family. Recently however, more and more people have been pontificating on the fact that owning your own home should never have been held in such high regard.
I don't want to overstate my concern as I know that the majority of Americans still hold homeownership sacred. Trulia just did a survey showing seventy seven percent of those questioned still believe that owning a home is a part of the American dream. Yet, it does concern me that, while people are being forced from their home due to economic difficulties, some are claiming that homeownership never should have been the goal anyway.

 What You Need To Know: Homeowner's Insurance:
Olympia, WA - It is essential to have homeowner’s insurance in place when you purchase a home. If you are borrowing money in order to purchase the home, the lending institution will require you to purchase homeowner insurance before the transaction can be completed. This is because the lending institution wants to make sure its investment is protected if the house were to be damaged or destroyed. Even if you are no longer carrying a loan on your home, however, it is a good idea to have insurance in place. After all, a home is a major investment and will cost thousands of dollars to replace if disaster strikes.
