3 Real Estate Myths – Busted in 30 Seconds!
3 Myths in Real Estate – Busted in 30 Seconds
When it comes to buying or selling a home in Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, and throughout Hays County, there’s no shortage of “advice” floating around. Unfortunately, some of it can lead to costly mistakes. The Alexander Home Team – Brad and Stephanie Alexander – is here to clear up three of the most common myths we hear in real estate.
Myth #1: Buying a foreclosure means a below-market deal.
It sounds good in theory, but banks aren’t in the business of losing money. Most foreclosures are priced according to current market conditions, not deep discounts.
Myth #2: Property tax rates are set by the city.
Not true. Property tax rates are determined by developments and taxing entities, which vary from neighborhood to neighborhood. That’s why two homes just a few streets apart can have very different tax bills.
Myth #3: Skipping a real estate agent saves money.
Actually, the opposite is true. National stats show that homes sold without a Realtor average 7% less than those listed with a professional. Having a trusted agent on your side protects your bottom line and helps you net more in the long run.
At the end of the day, real estate is one of the largest financial moves most families will ever make. Don’t let myths guide your decisions. Rely on local experts like Brad and Stephanie Alexander with The Alexander Home Team, who know the ins and outs of Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, and all of Hays County.
