These home shoppers would be pleased to find that Murfreesboro, Tennessee was recently featured on <em>Money Magazine\u2019s<\/em> 2010 \u201cBest Places to Live\u201d list at No. 20 for its home affordability.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <em>Nashville Business Journal<\/em>, the median home price in Murfreesboro is $141,000 and the population is 101,000. Money Magazine looked at 25 cities with populations similar to Murfreesboro\u2019s, but this Tennessee town was the only one in the state to make the cut.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re considering purchasing a new home in Tennessee, Murfreesboro is a great place to start looking. But remember, homebuyers often face hardships, difficult decisions and planning problems when searching for the perfect property. <\/p>\n<p>Avoid these top 5 homebuyer mistakes if you\u2019re getting ready to take the plunge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\tNot doing your research. <\/strong><br \/>\nGive yourself a leg up by thoroughly researching \u2013 and requesting your realtor do the same \u2013 the property you\u2019re looking at, the surrounding homes, community and schools. Don\u2019t walk blindly into buying a house because it\u2019s likely unexpected issues will arise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.\tNot understanding pricing. <\/strong><br \/>\nNot understanding pricing leads home buyers into all sorts of binds. Paying too much for a house, not selecting the mortgage that\u2019s right for them, losing a house to another bidder and underestimating closing costs are all problems a home buyer might face if they don\u2019t have a clear grasp on the pricing process involved with purchasing a home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.\tFalling in love. <\/strong><br \/>\nFalling in love with a house is one of the worst things potential buyers can do. Being emotionally involved could lead you into buying a house that might have little resale value later. Or, it could encourage you to rush into decisions, like buying a house that\u2019s too small, too quirky or near unattractive features like commercial property, utility access panels or drainage easements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.\t Not hiring a professional realtor and professional home inspector. <\/strong><br \/>\nThe more experienced your team, the better the home buying process will go. Be sure your realtor is competent and practiced. Ensure that a professional home inspector thoroughly reviews and records the pros and cons of your hopefully new home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.\tDelivering non \u2013 refundable earnest money.<\/strong><br \/>\nYour realtor should never recommend you do this. If the home inspection, financing plans and final details of the home closing start to veer off course, you\u2019ll want to have a grace period built in that allows you to withdraw your earnest money and look elsewhere for a new home.<\/p>\n<p>Give yourself all the chances for success by avoiding these top home buying mistakes. As always, having a reputable realtor by your side to help answer questions, make appointments and give advice is one of the best ways to make purchasing a new home a breeze. An affordable one if you\u2019re moving to Murfreesboro. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When people are looking to relocate, home prices are often the first area they research.
