Moving to Ventura County with Kids Could be Easier: Find Out How

Moving to the Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura Area with your family is an exciting step. Thinking about a new home and the life you can build in this beautiful area is thrilling. Yet, the practical steps of moving, especially with young children, can be stressful. The tasks of keeping your home ready for showings, selling it, buying a new one, and timing the move right can feel incredibly overwhelming.

There are many aspects to consider such as packing efficiently, addressing the kids' emotions, and setting up familiar routines in the new home quickly. However, the most stressful part often comes from the adults managing the sale of the old home and the purchase of the new one. It's no wonder why moving is frequently listed among the top 5 most stressful life events. The goal is to ease this transition and make it as smooth as possible for everyone involved.

The traditional stressful way is to time it all just right to:

  • Secure your dream home without issues such as contingencies getting in the way.
  • Sell your current home while still living in it with kids.
  • Move from one home to the next without extra costs on temporary rental stays or storage fees and eating out every meal- these costs add up fast!

Unlock A Stress-Free Move with NAF Cash

Let's tackle one of the major hurdles of moving - the financial aspect. This becomes even more intense when you have kids and a tight schedule. NAF Cash is here to ease this burden, making moving into your new home much less complicated. Here's a simplified breakdown of how NAF Cash works:

  • Preapproval: Kickstart your home search by getting preapproved.

Traditional moving can be a mess, especially with last-minute showings. Imagine quickly cleaning up after your toddler or pet and finding somewhere to go during a last-minute showing. It's stressful. NAF Cash changes this. It simplifies the process, letting you move into your new home quickly and without the headache of unexpected showings.

Cash buyers have a unique advantage also. They can get the home they want quickly and may even pay less. In fact, about  27% of buyers use cash, and they might save about 11%. Not only do you have an opportunity for instant equity and saving money at purchase, but if you have a home to sell, you could potentially make more on that end as well.

Studies have shown that staged homes often sell for 5% to 23% over the listing price, and they sell much faster, typically in just 23 days. Plus, there's a cost-effective option called virtual home staging, which can save you up to 97% on staging expenses. Many buyers are willing to pay more for staged homes, sometimes offering 1% to 5% above the asking price.

With NAF Cash, the financial stress of the move is significantly reduced, letting you focus more on enjoying and settling your family into the new environment of Ventura County.

A Family Success Story

Rogelio Castro, a Branch Manager at NAF, an affiliated company of NAF Cash from Chula Vista, shares a tale of Ivan and Crystal Magana and their three kids. They wanted to move from their San Diego condo to a more spacious single-family residence. However, the highly competitive San Diego real estate market proved to be a tough hurdle. Despite placing offers on multiple properties, often above the asking price, they found themselves outbid by all-cash offers time and again.

Then came NAF Cash into the picture. This program leveled the playing field for the Maganas, enabling them to make an all-cash offer on a home they loved and clinch the deal at the asking price amidst a market rife with bidding wars.

Here's a snapshot of the Magana's journey with NAF Cash:

  • Quick Home Purchase: They swiftly secured their new home at the asking price, a significant win in a highly competitive market.
  • Smooth Transition: The program allowed them a stress-free move into their new home while also giving them time to stage their condo for a successful sale.
  • Higher Sale Price: By taking the time to stage their condo, they sold it above the asking price, matching what experts say, nicely decorated homes usually get more money from buyers.
