We're convinced that the Midwest is one of the best places to live in the entire country.  It's possible we might be biased - but we don't think so!  The Midwest offers several different perks and benefits that can't be found anywhere else, and we're thrilled to be able to help new homeowners become a part of our fantastic community. Here's a sneak peek at some of our favorite things about living the Midwest. 1. Cost Of Living The Midwestern states (Oklahoma, Kansas, Indiana, Iowa, etc) have been ranked consistently as the cheapest places to live in the U.S. The Lake of the Ozarks, specifically, has been ranked as having the eleventh lowest cost of living index in the country! There are plenty of great jobs available in the Midwest, and the prices of homes for sale at the Lake of the Ozarks is incredibly low compared to other cities and destination areas. Why pay $400,000 for 2,000-square-foot home somewhere else when you could get one at the Lake for o...

If you've ever purchased a home before (or talked to someone who has), you are probably well aware that the price of the home is not the total cost you will be expected to cover. When you buy a house at the Lake of the Ozarks , you will also have to pay for the closing costs associated with the purchase of the home. Closing costs can often seem like an unknown factor for people who are buying property, but the team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate is here to explain the process. What Are Closing Costs? Buying a house is not a one- or two-person job; real estate transactions require the cooperation of several different professionals. The closing costs cover the fees for the professionals' various services. Typically, t hese closing costs can range anywhere from 2.5-5% of the home's total sale price. They very greatly from transaction to transaction and there is no way to predict in advance exactly what your closing costs will be; however, your mortgage lender i...

When you're selling your house at the Lake of the Ozarks , every square inch counts. Your home should shine, glisten, and gleam like never before. Not only that, but your staging efforts should maximize every inch of space so your prospective buyers can fully understand everything your home has to offer. By paying attention to the little details now, you will most likely be able to sell your home much, much more quickly. The laundry room is a great example of a room that most sellers tend not to put as much effort towards staging, but that can become a fantastic selling point if used strategically. These simple suggestions will get you started on the right track! 1. Light It Up Almost without exception, brightly lit homes sell more quickly than their dimly lit counterparts. Since laundry room are typically small, interior spaces, adding a new light fixture and/or a bulb with higher wattage can make a big difference. 2. Install A Sink If you have the space, adding a bi...

Everyone should want to own a house at some point in their lives.  Buying a house is part of The American Dream, right?  Yes, but it's not as cut-and-dried as that makes it sound. Recent studies show that different generations have very different motivations and strategies when it comes to buying homes. Some organizations have gone very in depth with their studies, breaking down home buying habits by each specific generation. Today, the team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate is here to provide an overall analysis of these different strategies by condensing them into two predominant categories: mature adults and young adults. Mature Adults (50 And Older) Mature adults enter the real estate market for many different reasons. Often, these individuals are not first-time home buyers, so mature adults make up a greater percentage of home sellers. When they're buying a house, mature adults tend to look for easy access to key locations such as work and the grocery store, as...

Make Sure Your Paperwork Is In Order Ahead Of Time As the buyer, putting together all of the paperwork will not be your responsibility - but is a good idea to touch base with your title company, your REALTOR®, and your mortgage...

You're probably familiar with the concept of buying a home , but what about the concept of refinancing a home loan? Refinancing a mortgage loan is essentially the process of taking out a new loan to pay off your old loan, and people choose to do this for several different reasons. Here are a few examples of reasons why people might choose to refinance their homes at the Lake of the Ozarks . Getting A Lower Interest Rate This is often the first reason that comes to mind when people think about refinancing their mortgages. If interest rates have dropped significantly since you purchased your home, refinancing and locking in a lower interest rate may save you a significant amount of money in the long run. Locking In A Stable Interest Rate Say you purchased your home thinking that you would only be there for a few years, so you went with an ARM (adjustable rate mortgage). ARM loans have a fixed interest rate for the first few years, and then the interest rate adjusts to ...

Finding the perfect home is about more than putting a roof over your head. It's about building equity, increasing your assets, and making an investment in you future. At Gattermeir Davidson , we talk a lot about how to find the perfect home at the Lake and local real estate trends, but this week we wanted to look closer into the investment side of real estate at the Lake of the Ozarks . Owning Your Own Home Enables You To Build Equity The terms "building equity in your home" get tossed around quite frequently, but do you know what they really mean? Essentially, "equity" refers to the amount of the home that you actually own - the portion of the loan that you have already paid off.  Having equity is an asset, and it comes with important benefits. For example, if/when you sell your home at a later date, you will be able to turn your equity into cash. Also, if you are short on cash at a later date, you can actually borrow against the equity you already ha...
