by Simona Strachinaru, posted in Real Estate, on June 6th, 2011

Domus Nova is an estate agency which has many properties for sale or rent. Most of them can surprise you with their architecture or architectural design.It is also case of this house which will amaze you with some of its modern architectural items. Its main attractions seem to be the several glass walls and roofs and a two storey atrium with a glass bridge. These modern additions seem to compensate for the vintage furniture, carpets, stools or pillows that appear in the living room or bedrooms.

Although the rooms are spacious and full of light the presence of these glass walls and roofs amplify more the idea of space and light. The glass roof above the dining table lets the rays of sun pass through and create a warm and peaceful atmosphere. They create warm interiors where you can feel comfortable and pleased with the views offered by these transparent walls.

How to buy a house at auction

by Stefan, posted in Real Estate, on April 18th, 2011

There are a number of differences between buying a house at an auction and the traditional method of buying a house. It is important to learn about the entire procedure before making any moves. There are a number of tips which could be helpful in knowing how exactly one can buy a house at an auction.

First, one needs to look for properties which will soon be going on the auction block. One could look at the local newspapers for information or find out over the phone regarding the properties which are going to be auctioned. One could even get this information by calling the local auctioneers and check whether they know of any auctions. One should then drive past the houses which have been identified to know what condition they are in. It is also important to do so in order to know the neighbourhood conditions.

If one is seriously interested in a property, they can have an arrangement to get the home inspected. One could even compare the prices of the property to other houses in the neighbourhood. This gives a relative value to the house one is interested in. Once the auction is over, there is usually not much time left. One should therefore have all the financing in place before the auction. In most cases, the seller wants to close within two weeks or thirty days.

What is the best time of year to sell a house

by Stefan, posted in Real Estate, on April 18th, 2011

According to property agents, there are several times of the year when one can get a better price on the house than at others and when they sell comparatively quicker than other times. It is a well-known fact that the sale of properties is highest during the spring months, from April to July. It has been observed that the number of houses that sell during spring and summer months are double the number of houses which are sold during the fall and winter months. One of the reasons for this is because parents tend to take advantage of the time when the kids are off school.

However, this is not necessarily the best time to sell. This is because of the simple reason that everyone has the same thinking and they try and sell their homes during this period. As a result there are a number of properties on sale in the same peak period. In winter months, the number of houses for sale is much lesser than what they are in the summer months. According to estate agents, if one sells his house between Halloween and New Year’s, there are chances that the house will be sold faster and fetch a price closer to the asking price. According to agents, the autumn buyers have waited through the entire busy season for a better deal.

by Stefan, posted in Real Estate, on April 14th, 2011

Nothing can be more beautiful, than having a house of your own. Well, for some it is a distant dream, and some work hard to live it. For all the sections in the society, everyone wants at least a space of their own. Whether small, or big, one room or a four room apartment we just wish to have something we can call our own. Buying a house isn’t tough, with so many home loans and mortgage schemes coming up. It isn’t tough but its easy if really push us to make it true.

Home ownership has its positive and negative points. Though you will find it only better, that now you have an asset of yours but if you have taken a home loan to buy it, you need to check in.Giving monthly installments of your new house is like an added burden to your standing expenditures. So when you opt for a home loan, you have neither the property nor the money. And then you have to shell all your income in something which you will get in future- till you give your last and final installment.
