Selling A Home While Going Through A Divorce

Whether this is a change that is for the better or there are still some issues to be worked out selling a home during a divorce can be challenging.  A home sale transaction is easier when all parties are cooperative with the sale, meaning the buyers and each of the sellers.  In a divorce situation that can be a little difficult especially if one spouse is still holding on or wishes to take an approach that is confrontational.  Whether the desire is to sell the home or for one party to keep it there are some considerations that need to be made and this article explores.

Deciding To Keep The Home

One of the primary deciding factors for keeping a home during a divorce is whether the spouse who will keep the home can continue to afford to pay for it.  If neither spouse can afford to keep the home independently then the answer is to sell the home.  Whichever spouse plans on keeping the home that decision must be made mutually or decided in court via attorneys.

The potential problem that comes when one spouse wishes to keep the home is that both spouses stay on the mortgage even after divorce.  While a divorce agreement can specify who keeps the home and who is responsible for paying for the home the lender can still look to both former spouses if payments are stopped and the credit score of the spouse who no longer is living in the home will be effected as well.  The deed which shows ownership of the home is easily changed when both parties agree to sign the document changing ownership but that does not work for the mortgage.  The spouse who will keep...

New Construction Home Buying Process

New Construction Home Buying Process

New Construction Home Buying Process

Some home buyers may prefer to start from scratch and build a new home from the ground up.  While there are developments that offer newly built homes often times those homes lack customizability and instead the home buyer may only find cookie cutter homes with some ability to decide on what types of interior upgrades they may add.  Home buyers who want to get their own home plan put on paper and then get built will be looking at the custom build option which this article explores further.

First Step, Work With A Lender

Home buyers need to start the process of talking with a lender first since there are different mortgage programs for new construction builds.  Sometimes if a builder is large enough they will have their own financing program where while the home is being constructed they can offer a short term construction loan to the buyer and then at the time of project completion the buyer will get a traditional 30-year mortgage for the home.  Especially with the changes brought about as a result of the COVID19 shutdowns, mortgage loans types and qualification requirements can change on a daily basis so getting a pre-approval before hand is the best path to take.

Home buyers should not be talking just to one lender but comparing different lender offerings.  Buyers can find different lenders to speak with through family and friend referrals and referrals from their real estate agent.  Certain professions like doctors or veterans have available to them specific mortgage designing floor plan...
