First, look at the location.
Short-term difficulties, long-term opportunities, American real estate investment must be long-term planning. Don't touch the property in remote areas, no matter how cheap it is!
It's easy to see the location, but many people have been cheated. I often get excited when I see a beautiful house. There is a famous saying in the American real estate market: location! Position! Position! It's many, many, many! Whether it is investment or self-occupation, if it is residential, it is a good school district villa, business district villa or apartment.
A good school district refers to a good primary school to a high school, and most property buyers buy a good school district villa in a public school. The good school districts that China people like are mainly East Los Angeles such as Acadia and Pasadena in Los Angeles, the good school district cities that China people like to live in, and the newly developed Irvine Bay in the south. San Francisco's Bay Area, Bellevue, Seattle, and some private schools in the west of Boston are all very expensive, with $654.38+00,000. For families with a small budget, JohnsGreek, Duluth, Alpharetta and Suwanee in the north of Atlanta are still good choices. You can buy top-class educational real estate for $350,000.
American luxury houses are mainly concentrated in Beverly Hills, Malibu, San Francisco Bay Area, Manhattan, Miami Beach and Palm Beach. These are the luxury houses that most people in China like to buy.
Second, look at the housing itself.
Housing quality mainly depends on orientation. Some people still prefer to face water, which is the main wealth. The interior design is scientific and people live comfortably. It is best if the house is young or has been completely updated.
But sometimes don't pursue perfection too much, otherwise you can't buy a good house. You should also know how to compromise when buying a house. 85% and 90% are both very good and definitely worth selling. There is no absolute 100% good house, just relative. If the price is right, the location is good, the school district meets the requirements, and the house is in good condition, it is already very good. Otherwise it may take half a year. At this point, the property has appreciated. Regret theory is just right.
Third, look at the surrounding environment
We like the mountain and the water, and the community is good. Some people like to close the community, which is safer. Such communities are generally high-end communities with higher prices. Recreational facilities are also important, some of which include dog parks, tennis courts, swimming pools, golf and various associations, such as football. Shopping convenience is also very important, including daily necessities, food, clothing, housing, restaurants, shopping centers and so on. Many people have poor English and like to be close to Chinese restaurants and Chinese supermarkets. Some people also like to have enterprises around them, so that they can find jobs and go to work. In job hunting, financial companies are located in Manhattan, Wall Street, and electronics and software companies are located in the San Francisco Bay Area. The entertainment company is in Los Angeles and other miscellaneous companies are more suitable in Atlanta. There are 442 Fortune 500 companies in Atlanta, and the headquarters of Coca-Cola, Huawei and ZTE are all located in Atlanta, which makes it much easier for enterprises to find jobs. Usually the north and south are black areas, 50 miles apart, black and white, far apart.
Fourth, look at the historical price.
An American bought a house of 800,000 three years ago, and now he has slightly renovated it and bid 4 million. Don't think that the owner's hanging price is similar to the real value.
China and America have different habits. Americans regard negotiation as a game. Bargaining is only the beginning of negotiation. And we in China are angry at the high price, and the consequences are very serious-leave at once. As far as Americans are concerned, they can pay a high price, and you can also pay an absolute low price. If he bids 4 million, you can pay back 400 thousand.
In the book Absolute Deal written by Americans, it is said that negotiation must be regarded as a game and you can't participate in feelings, otherwise you will suffer. Their bid is very high, and if someone accepts it or buys it near the bid, he will make a fortune. If he doesn't accept it, he will make a big concession, just like last time. Someone bought it for 2 million and thought it was a good deal. In fact, I only bought it wrong, not sold it wrong. Therefore, generally buy high-priced, pay attention.
5. Look at the overall situation of American real estate.
The peak of American house prices in recent years was in 2007. After the subprime mortgage crisis, house prices fell slowly, reaching the bottom in July and August of 20 12, and then rising slowly. It rose by 6% last year, and is expected to rise by 6% in 20 13 and1%in 20 14. Therefore, in 2007, the house price was 654.38+0 million, and now the house price is 654.38+0 million, which is definitely not cost-effective. It should be above 700,000.
6. Don't buy a house without commission.
Many domestic agents say that they don't need commission. In fact, they are either acting as an agent for a newly opened house, or they have already bought a house and sold it to domestic customers at a higher price. This price increase far exceeds the commission. Therefore, we must choose a company with open and transparent housing prices.
Finally, remind everyone that it is best to bring a valid passport and visa to the United States and prepare proof of housing funds (Chinese and English deposit certificate of domestic banks). If you like, you can make a deal on the spot, instead of going back to China to get the information and losing the opportunity to quote.
