Wall Street Journal has published a quite accurate analysis of the most common missteps that first-time home buyers make.

Here they are:

1. Underestimating realtors

A lot of first time buyers don’t think they need a real estate agent. They believe all there is to a home purchase is finding the right home and with the massive amount of online listings info these days, they think they will be better off by themselves.

Managing offers, inspections, financing, huge amount of paperwork related to a home purchase, and all the other steps of home buying is what many new buyers do not realize they may need help with.

2. Guessing how much they can afford

Many buyers think they can figure out their finances themselves, as well. They use online calculators to estimate how much house they can afford and miss many factors which come into play like property tax and insurance, maintenance costs, moving fees, association dues, etc… Each home purchase process should really start with finding a good mortgage broker/banker to help with all that.

3. Falling for a “pretty” house

Often times, a house looks good on the outside and first time home buyers fall for it. But, deep care and thorough inspections are advised with any property before making final decisions. You may be surprised what you may find at a closer look…

4. Focusing on the house and forgetting the neighborhood

You can always fix up a house, but you won’t be able to change a bad neighborhood.

Spend as much time as you can in your future neighborhood, ideally on different days and times.

5. Making arbitrary offers

Yes, it is true that prices are low at the moment and in many markets there are more homes than buyers. However, it is a big mistake to assume that sellers will accept any offer and make unreasonable demands. Even in hard-hit markets, nice houses in desirable neighborhoods are getting multiple offers. “Deals” go within few days, often times at prices higher than they were listed at.

If the house has been on the market for more than three months, it should be fine to simply make an offer based on recent sales for comparable homes, foreclosure activity and market trends, and not be afraid to start the bidding low. If the house is new on the market (or recently foreclosed), chances are there are a lot of buyers are interested in it and the best strategy is to offer as much as you can and avoid a bidding war.

Beach Cities, Westside Los Angeles, Santa Monica Bay

In spite of really bad economy (still) and multiple warnings on real estate prices going down, there have not been huge price drops in sold property prices in the Beach Cities and Santa Monica Bay areas (largest markets analyzed, for homes and condos respectively: Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Santa Monica, Venice, Playa Del Rey, Marina Del Rey, West Hollywood, Culver City, Redondo Beach, El Segundo).

Houses

Home prices

- dropped in August 2010 comparing to July 2010 in: Manhattan Beach (5%), Redondo Beach (2%), Hermosa Beach (2.5%), and El Segundo (14%) and

- increased in: Santa Monica (5%), Westchester (1%), and Venice (8%).

Comparing to previous two years, prices show an upward trend in Manhattan Beach, are pretty stable in Santa Monica, Westchester, and Playa del Rey, and clearly lower in Venice and Hermosa Beach.

The best deals on houses one could get in El Segundo (5% below listing prices) and the most competitive proved to be Playa del Rey home market in August.

Condos

Condo prices

- dropped in August 2010 comparing to July 2010 in: Santa Monica (9%), Marina del Rey (16%), and Hermosa Beach (15%),  and

- increased in: Culver City (6%), West Hollywood (4%), and Playa Vista (2%).

Comparing to previous two years, prices seem to be quite stable across the board for condominiums.

The most room for price negotiation on condos one could get in Marina del Rey (average 4% below asking prices) and the most competitive was Hermosa Beach condo market in August.
