Selling

Local Market Review: November 2020 Housing Data

New listings showed a spark of life- up 8% from a year ago.  But off the big rally of last month, so they’re still running down 4% for the year.

Sales were up 21% over last November.  The combination pushed prices up 20% over a year ago.

Common Real Estate Seller Disclosures

I found this great article on some Common Real Estate Seller Disclosures that I wanted to share. I have seen a few deals go sideways because of these.  Some are obvious… some not so much. This is why you have me a phone call away – to help sort thru the paperwork when buying a home.  CLICK HERE

SOME KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Property sellers are usually legally required to disclose information about a property’s condition that might negatively affect its value
  • Even if Indiana doesn’t require disclosure of a particular problem, it may behoove sellers to disclose it anyway to prevent future problems with a potential buyer
  • Information that may need to be disclosed can include death due to violent crime on the property, neighborhood nuisances like noise or odors, hazards, water damage, and home repairs

Real estate laws can vary, so it is extremely important to work closely with an EXPERIENCED Real Estate Agent to keep everyone honest. Let me help! I have learned a thing or two in my 30+ years to help save clients money, help them through a sticky point, or just make it plain easier for them.
