FIX-IT Mortgage by Advisors Mortgage Gives Homebuyers Opportunity Even With Low Inventories

According to the National Association of Realtors, inventory of “existing homes” fell 19.2% annually to only 1.47 million homes for sale at the end of September. Also, this represents a 2.7-month supply at the current sales pace. That's the lowest level of inventory since 1982 when NAR started tracking this metric. The inventory of affordable starter homes for first time home buyers within that data is almost nonexistent! Yet in every market there are homes offered for sale that are often overlooked by realtors and buyers alike. Homes that are listed with the words, needs TLC, sold as-is, has tons of potential, diamond in the rough, REO or the most recognized fixer upper.



These properties are often discounted because of their age, condition or status. Realtors and home buyers often don’t see these properties as viable inventory because of the perception that they require “cash only” to close. Buyers also have some trouble seeing past the current condition and looking at the opportunity to make a good home great. The discount on these properties can often be a buyer’s best opportunity to find affordable homeownership.

At closing, the seller is paid, and the money for the improvements is placed in an escrow for the buyer and their contractor. Then, through an easy system of inspections and draw requests, the work is funded from the escrow account.
