Buying a Luxury Condo in Philadelphia

The Philadelphia luxury condo market is hot, and properties are selling quickly. Once you’re ready to buy your Rittenhouse Square condo, it’s important you go in as prepared as possible to make an offer when you find a home you love.To make your home-buying process as easy as possible, do these three things:

1. Make a list of your must-haves and wants. If you’re buying alone, this can be easier to narrow down. If you’re purchasing a home with a partner or spouse, this list can help ensure you’re both on the same page before viewing properties. The list should include items like: Location, price, timing, amenities, and style.
2. Secure pre-approval for a loan. Before you start looking at homes, you’ll want to know how much you are able to comfortably spend. If you are looking to finance your home purchase through a loan, your Maxwell Realty agent can help. Your realtor can walk you through what programs you might qualify for and introduce you to a lender that will work with you on pre-approval. It’s important you are pre-approved so that when the time comes to make an offer, everything is lined up. If you’re not, it can cause delays, and in a hot real estate market that can mean the seller goes to the next offer available.
3. Find the right real estate agent. Maxwell Realty has been helping buyers find their starter and forever homes in the Philadelphia area for more than 50 years. Working with an experienced real estate agent will be invaluable in many ways along the process.

While going to open houses on your own can help you narrow down your tastes and see what’s out there, an agent will bring expertise to the legalities and other important aspects of the buying process. Our agents have access to the best properties in the region, and can help you navigate everything from getting a loan, to negotiating an offer, and scheduling necessary home inspections before the deal is finalized.
