Here are some great tips on how you can get rid of squirrels from your South Hudson home for sale on your own, without having to break your bank!

Block Their Entrance

Find out where the squirrels are entering into your South Hudson home’s attic and cover any holes so no more squirrels can get in, except for one so they can use it to exit your home. Cover your chimney with wire mesh if you have one so no more squirrels can get in. Also be sure to secure any openings from your attic to the rest of your South Hudson home so any panic stricken squirrels don’t try to flee into the rest of your home.

You want to make sure every possible entry point is blocked so they don’t regain entry once you have them out!

Create An Exit

Create a funnel out of metal or wire mesh and be sure the funnel is about 1 foot long, an about a foot wide. Attach the wide end of the funnel to the hole on the outside of your South Hudson’s home. Usually if the animal can leave out of the small hole, they will be able to re-enter as well, so just be careful. Try placing some food such as apple slices or peanuts at the hole of the opening to draw the squirrels out, or just wait for them to leave on their own to gather food.

Once they are out make sure to board up the hole or put mesh on it so that can’t regain entry.

Trapping Squirrels

You can usually find a trap at your local hardware store. When purchasing a trap for a squirrel please keep in mind that in a larger cage the squirrel may begin to panic and harm themselves. Usually a cage that is 6 inches, by 6 inches, by 18 inches will be perfect for a small animal like a squirrel. Read the directions that come with the trap and be sure you know how to set it properly!

Put some food in the cage that appeals to a squirrel such as peanut butter, apple slices, peanuts, soda crackers, or pieces of bread crust otherwise the squirrels may not even go near the trap. Make sure the food is placed far enough inside the cage so the animal can’t grab it through the sides.

Set it up, and wait for the trap to work its magic.

Catch, then Release

Once you have trapped the squirrel, you will need to release it. But first, be sure to check your South Hudson attic for baby squirrels. The babies will be helpless without their mother, and you will need to relocate them with her so they don’t die. The best thing for you to do is relocate them far away from your South Hudson’s home for sale in a wooded area where they can hopefully find their new home in a tree, rather than inside your attic.

Make sure you wear thick heavy gloves when you are releasing the squirrel from the trap. If the squirrel is angry, you wouldn’t want to get bit, or attacked. You can also use a string or rope to open the cage from a distance.

Make sure they don't come back

Be sure to keep the trap filled with food in your South Hudson attic for a few weeks longer to be sure all the squirrels have left your home. Patch up the holes in your home as well so they can’t try to re-enter. Try leaving your attic light on, or purchase some squirrel repellent from the store, rags soaked in household ammonia work too. Also, leaving a radio on in your attic, or purchasing an ultrasonic repellent may work for you as well.

Check Your Credit

Be sure you check your credit before you start searching for a home. If you have bad credit, you will most likely need someone else to co-sign, or to put their name on the mortgage with you, unless you pay for your home in full cash.

For a conventional loan you will need a higher credit score typically around 660 or higher while an FHA loan will give you more wiggle room typically down to about a 580 score. Don’t give up if your score is lower than the required amount because there are also ways of increasing your score to get you where you need to be.

Look At Your Income

Also be sure you look at your income so you know just how much you can afford monthly, and yearly. Don’t spend everything you have all at once, be sure you have enough money left over for other payments and bills you may have.

Typically there is a 40% or higher ratio that mortgage lenders will be looking for but we suggest a bit lower so you still have money for other things. Being house poor doesn;t make for a happier life. It’s nice to own a home but it’s also nice to be able to enjoy going out, or buying some new clothes once in a while.

Get Preapproved For A Mortgage

To get preapproved for a mortgage, first you must visit a lender. The mortgage lender will look at things such as your credit reports, your employment history, and your income very closely and carefully. After that, they will figure out which loan program you qualify for, the maximum amount you can borrow, and the interest rates you will be offered.

It is important to get this done before you start looking for South Nashua houses for sale, so you know just how much you have to spend. You don’t want to start looking at houses that are above your reach as it will make the houses you can afford not look as appealing. Be realistic and make your budget work for you. You can always build equity and get the larger house next time if you can’t afford it the first time around.

Find The Right Real Estate Agent

Finding the right Real Estate Agent is important because they can help take some of the stress off of you when you are looking for your South Nashua dream home. Searching for and purchasing the right home takes a lot of time that you may not have, as well as a lot of work that you may just not want to deal with. An agent can deal with the time, and work while you sit back and relax, that is their job!

If you are looking to buy or sell a home, call Harmony Real Estate today at (603) 883-8840. One of our qualified agents will be more than happy to help you find your dream home.

Here are five things you should do when you are buying a home for the first time:

Decide on the location versus space when searching for a home!

When you are looking for your first home, be sure you decide on a location first. Sometimes the location of the house for sale can have a bigger impact on your life, versus the spaciousness of the home. If you find a big beautiful home in the country, but you’d prefer to be closer to the city sometimes you need to sacrifice a little bit of space to get what you want.

You can never change the location of your house but you could potentially add on or finish your basement.

The School District Will Affect Your Home Value

Before purchasing a home it is always good for you to look into the school district, even if you don’t have children. If it is a sought after school district with a high grade point average, people will be willing to pay more for you home when you do decide to sell it.

South Nashua homes for sale are located in the best school district within the city. The homes in South Nashua are highly sought-after, have the highest resale value and attract the wealthiest buyers.  

Put Some Money Away For Home Improvements

Home Improvements can be very expensive, and sometimes unexpected. There are a lot of things you can do by yourself, rather than hiring a company to complete the repairs in your home. Your house is your most valued asset so make sure to keep it in good repair.

Fixing up your home yourself will same you a ton of money and add sweat equity which equates to an added resale value of your South Nashua home for sale!

Don’t Overlook The Landscaping!

The exterior curb appeal is the first thing anyone will look at in regards to your home. Updates to the exterior of the home you decide to purchase can add up just as quickly as the interior improvements. If you don’t want to spend any money on the landscape, or you don’t have much to spend due to your budget try finding a home that already has the amenities you desire.

Make sure to take a good look at the exterior and evaluate the true  condition before you purchase a South Nashua home for sale.

Don’t Max Out Your Qualification Budget

If you try to use every last cent that you qualify for, odds are you will have a smaller number of options. If you are willing to come down in your price range, more options will open up for you once you purchase. This means you will have money left over for any renovations or decorating you’d like to do to make your new place truly feel like home.

You don’t want to feel like you are house poor. If you can’t ever go out for dinner or buy a pair of shoes will you truly be happy just living day to day? If you don’t overextend your budget ultimately you will be happier down the road.

Looking for your first home can be very nerve wracking, so don’t try to do it on your own. Our agents’ job a Harmony Real Estate is to take the stress off of you, and make purchasing a home a bit easier for you.  

Give our agents a call at Harmony Real Estate (603) 883-8840 for more information on buying a South Nashua home for sale. We would love to be instrumental in your new purchase.

How Much Can I Afford To Borrow for a South Hudson NH Mortgage?

Your credit, income, debt-to-income ratio, the size of your down payment, your employment and residence history are all factors in how much you can borrow for a mortgage. Be cautious when you get  a mortgage because the amount you are able to borrow can exceed the amount you can afford.

What Are My Upfront Costs?

Some costs associated with buying a Hudson NH home start to appear before you even make a payment on your mortgage. These include:

Mortgage Application Fees

When you apply for a mortgage there are always fees. Application fees include service fees, which can be flat fees, or they can be a % of the total purchase price. Application fees include the appraisal, credit report fees, title insurance, flood certification fees, lawyer costs, points, as well as application, processing and underwriting fees. Depending on the company you choose to work with they can show up differently on the closing statement.

Earnest Money
Earnest Money is an initial deposit to be paid into an escrow account once your offer is accepted. This is also known as a “good faith deposit” which may influence the seller's decision on whether to accept your offer. The more you put down, the more serious your offer will appear to the seller.

Down Payment
You can get better mortgage rates by having a larger mortgage down payment. Down payments range from 0% to 20% or more of the total cost of the South Hudson NH home you decide to purchase. Some people put down 20% in order to remove the cost of the Mortgage Insurance Premium. Paying mortgage points up front can also help lower your payments.

Closing Costs
Final closing costs can range from a flat fee to a percentage of the total loan amount, depending on your mortgage and the agreement with the seller. Sometimes closing costs can be rolled into the mortgage loan amount which means you can pay it through your mortgage. The other option is to ask the seller if they are willing to pay some of the closing costs in your offer, if the market will accept it.

Closing costs can include:

• Mortgage Application Fees
• Mortgage Points
• Title Insurance and Title Search
• Escrow Deposits
• Attorney’s Fees
• Inspection and Surveys
• City Recording Fees
  
  

Don’t let this list of closing costs worry you because they are all paid at closing and can be estimated by the lender upfront to give you an idea of what will be needed in the transaction.

Home Ownership Expenses
Owning a South Hudson home requires financial commitment far beyond your monthly mortgage payment. You will also be required to pay your mortgage insurance, home insurance, utilities, repairs, and property taxes. Make sure to take all of these costs into account when you are deciding how much you can afford to borrow to buy your new home. It is crucial that you consider all of these costs before you decide to get a mortgage.

Planning And Saving Tips

If you are still saving for your new home, here are some helpful tips for you:

• Maintaining a reliable income improves your standing with lenders
• Paying your bills on time and limiting your monthly debt helps improve your credit score
• Saving for a larger down payment can lower APR and payments
• Combining your stated income with a partner or spouse can help you afford more
• You want your mortgage payment to be less than a third of your income

Building up your finances and your credit rating before you buy a South Hudson NH home will help you to afford more when you decide to purchase. It can also help you compete with other buyers for the home that you want. This will make owning your new home easier to manage!
