Luxury on the Carolina Coast

by Allen Tate Companies
Carolinas, Luxury Homes, Relocation
One of the great perks of living in the Carolinas is the proximity to some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. Whether it’s the lure of year-round golf, fresh seafood right off the boat, coastal architecture or simply the crisp ocean air, many people just can’t get enough of coastal living and purchase a vacation home, or even a permanent residence, in one of the many communities on the coast. Sunset Beach, North Carolina is no exception. Perhaps that’s why Southern Living magazine has chosen it as the site of their next Custom Builder Program Showcase Home.

Luxury Real Estate: A View Review

by Allen Tate Companies
Buying, Homeownership, Luxury Homes
“I just bought a small condo overlooking the water. The water is in a cup, one floor below my unit.” ― Jarod Kintz, “This Book Has No Title” We have all heard the three most important rules of real estate: “location, location, location.” One piece of the location criteria is view. The best piece of advice that I can give anyone purchasing real estate, particularly in the luxury market, is this: Do not buy a view you do not own. Take a waterfront property for example. From the rear porch, the water stretches out in front of you, with a gorgeous sunset view. Before you decide that this is the home for you, take a close look at property lines. Does your view run across...

What Every Luxury Home Buyer Should Know — Get Pre-Approved

by Allen Tate Companies
Buying, Luxury Homes
Congratulations. You have worked hard and are ready to make the move into the luxury real estate market. The same general rules of purchasing a home will apply, just as they always have, but there are some differences you should consider. Starting the mortgage process early is always the best first step, and one that many luxury buyers skip. They have plenty of money and good credit, so the question of financing is often never raised. Yet, for the luxury buyer, it is often more important to start this process early. Finances in this realm tend to be more complex. Due to the larger liability on these purchases, lenders, underwriters, and home sellers look at potential purchasers with more scrutiny. In this...

Are we in a buyer’s or seller’s market?

by Allen Tate Companies
Buying, Carolinas, Charlotte, First-Time Homebuyer, Homeownership, Luxury Homes, Selling, Triad, Triangle, Upstate
I’m often asked how the real estate market is doing.  Are we in a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?  So what exactly is a buyer’s market?  A Buyer’s Market is when we have more homes for sale than buyers.  In this market buyers can leverage the over-supply of homes to their advantage and get very favorable terms such as lower prices, receive closing costs and can take their time with selection.  Buyer’s markets are often identified with a depressed market or declining market and the obvious signs are very few offers in a buyer’s market - best offer is the only offer you received and it’s really low. So what exactly is seller’s market?  A Seller’s Market is when we have...

When heading to the grocery store, it’s usually best to bring a list of what you want. That way, you don’t get distracted by splashy sales and promotions and forget to buy the items you really need. How about keeping a shopping list–or a wish list– handy during your house hunt? It’s easy to get sidetracked by gleaming new appliances and lose track of the essentials you were hoping for in the first place. Making a wish list ahead of time also helps you focus, and it can help your Allen Tate Realtor® by providing guidance into what matters most to you. Here’s a sampling of topics to consider including when jotting down your list: - What is your ideal price range? - How...
