Start With a Good Online Search
Using your favorite search engine, look for a Website that lets you search for homes and condominiums by price range and location. A really good search will also let you pinpoint bank owned homes in your price range. Currently there are 20 homes listed for sale in Glendora under $300,000 and two bank owned homes.
Map It to Pinpoint Areas
Make sure the search function on the Website you are using allows you to see of map of where the property is listed. That way you can easily tell if a property is in a big problem area or not right from your computer. For example, if several of the listings of available properties are on the same street or on neighboring streets that may indicate a problem area. This is not to say that the area is a bad investment but it may affect the price you would be willing to offer on the home.
Picture This
Most Realtors include multiple photos for their listings and this is a great aid for online shoppers. While nothing trumps a personal inspection you can a lot about whether or not a home has been maintained by looking at the photos of the rooms. Many of the homes in an older area, such as Glendora, were well constructed and even have hardwood floors. If you are particularly looking for a fixer-upper, the picture section should give you a pretty good idea about the condition of the property.
Recent Sales Data
Another step you can take online is to check out recent sales data in the area to find out what homes in the area have recently sold for. In order to take this step without involving a Realtor, you need to find a Website that includes a Recent Sales database.
Check It Out
When you have done all you can do online and have a list of potential properties, it is time to visit the area in person. Since you have the addresses and after consulting the Map It section you know where the property is located, it is an easy matter to drive by to see how the property looks from the street and check out the neighborhood. If you find ทาวน์โฮมมือสอง many homes in the area that are in run-down condition that is a tip-off that the property may be in a distressed area. On the other hand, if the neighborhood looks well- maintained and you think you could rent the property or refurbish it and sell it for a quick profit you might want to put that home on your Definite Possibility List.
The Final Step
Once you have narrowed your list of possibilities and have a fairly good idea of the condition of the homes you want to consider, it is time to contact your real estate agent to see the homes in person and to find out the details that do not show up on Websites. Your agent should be able to tell you how long the home has been on the market, whether there are any offers on the property and possibly how motivated the sellers are.
