Everyone had a great time at the Spring Lakes “Boo” Carnival this year in Spring Lakes! Between the hay rides, bouncy houses, face painting, games, and of course the James Coney Island hot dogs, my crew had a full day of it. Beautiful weather helped make this event a fun and exciting tradition enjoyed by all in Spring Lakes!

RREA was a proud sponsor and we look forward to next year!

One of the most important factors to consider when buying a new home is affordability. As a general rule, mortgage payments should not exceed 25-30 percent of your monthly take-home pay. The best way to know what you can afford is to determine the possible payment range by comparing the price of the home with other essential ingredients.

Figure Out How Much You Want To Borrow

Your first step to calculating your monthly mortgage payment is knowing how much you want to borrow. This can be determined by subtracting your down payment amount from the purchase price of the home, which will give you the amount that you will need to request from a lender.

Know Your Rates

The next step is to determine the current interest rates for the purchase of a home. Rates vary and may change often, so check with your lender for current rates. It’s worth noting that the interest rates you receive will, in part, be based on your credit history. This means that knowing your FICO score and credit rating will give you a good idea as to how your interest rates will be calculated.

A recent article from Insurance News suggests that a large portion of homeowners do not have a clear understanding of what their policy is comprised of. As a former claims adjuster, I found that much of my time was spent helping customers determine what their coverage should be, or better put, how it should have been before the loss. Not always, but often, regular people find themselves owing for damages that exceed their policy limits due to circumstances that they underestimated when buying their coverage.

Ok, so how much then?

A good insurance agent will insure your home for the reconstruction cost. As the attached article suggests, the costs of replacing your home vs. the market value can create a significant gap in coverage. When you purchase insurance you purchase peace of mind. That peace of mind goes right out the window when you realize that there is not enough money in the policy to pay for all that was lost. This is especially true for the contents of your home.

Most people don’t realize the value of their possessions. Your agent should encourage you to catalogue your contents by taking pictures of your property to be stored at the agency. This will ensure an easier claims process. Can you imagine trying to recall and further prove the value of your possessions after they have been destroyed?
