Top Home Buying Strategies | Home Buying Tips | Zillow

Ready to buy a home? Here are the top home buying strategies according to experts.

1) Don't buy the worst house in the best neighborhood.
2) Buying a home near a Starbucks, Trader Joes, or Whole Foods. These homes tend to appreciate in value faster than others.
3) An adjustable rate mortgage may be a better option if you plan to live in the house for 5-7 years.

in 2008 homes were over priced and people were buying homes they could not afford thus, that bubble bursted. Whether you have an ARM or a fixed loan if you can;t afford what you buy to begin with...that is where the problem begins.

I've had several ARMs and the rates have gone down...never had a problem and think they are great for if staying in a home 5-7 years - that you can afford.

now that people are buying houses on Las Vegas a lot. the prices are to high. this what happens when investors . move in and the average person can afford a home.

Hey Zillow. If a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods has moved into the neighborhood, it's already too late. You've missed the boat. Everybody already knows it's a hot area and prices are already inflated. Wanna make money on real estate? Try getting into an up and coming neighborhood BEFORE all that happens.

The video is saying to buy a house near trader Joes and Whole foods as they appreciate. It has nothing to do with affordability that was the ARM mortgage part.

Hmmm, buy a house near trader joes or starbucks, get an adjustable rate mortgage to be able to afford a more expensive house, that just sounds like really bad advice to me.
