HUD Homes Articles | This is a reprint of an article I wrote some time ago for buyers on my ActiveRain blog. There is lots of good stuff there, too, for buyers, including information about San Diego communities and housing in general.
Buying a Carlsbad home, or a house elsewhere in North County, means using the standard California Residential Purchase Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions (a.k.a. RPA).
It’s an imposing document, especially for first time buyers. The standard document is 8 pages of single-spaced contract language, so for someone who has not done this before it CAN be intimidating.
There are critical decisions that YOU have to make along the way.
But here are some hints to get you through the offer process. However, the intent is NOT to review everything, since you need to do some of the Q and A stuff with your trusted Buyer Agent (you DO have one, don’t you? Someone to represent YOUR fiduciary interests?).
There are some KEY DECISIONS you will need to make (but NOT an exhaustive list), so knowing about these in advance will give you some time to ponder the issues, and give some thought to what you might want to do with regard to these matters.
