Pottsboro Homes for salePottsboro Disclosure RuleTell All is definitely the rule for anyone who is selling Pottsboro real estate in today’s market. Let the Buyer Beware can easily come back and bite you in a delicate spot—your pocketbook. Today, those selling a home or any Pottsboro are expected to disclose all known material defects that are not readily apparent to the buyer. A Material Defect is usually a physical condition that would affect a buyer’s decision to purchase the home or what price to pay for the home. A leaky roof is definitely a Material Defect. If a Pottsboro seller tries to disguise the leak by painting the interior ceiling and walls without fixing the leak, the truth will come out the next time it rains. Chances are the first call the buyer makes will be to his attorney. Pottsboro Disclosure RuleIf you are contemplating the purchase of an existing home or any Pottsboro, I strongly recommend that you utilize the services of a trusted home inspector. The final purchase of any home should be based on obtaining a favorable home inspection. Pottsboro is no exception to this rule. What if the home inspector discovers a problem? That happens and as long as it happens before the sale is final the seller can fix the problem or the buyer who agrees to take the property as is can negotiate the price. Any questions regarding Pottsboro, just give me a call. Pottsboro. How Much Should You Offer?Comparable sales figures is a good guide for homeowners who are pricing their Pottsboro and a good guide for prospective buyers. Make sure you compare homes that are similar to the one your are considering...the same neighborhood, the same size, the same condition. Also, make sure you compare sales within the past six months. Ask your REALTOR for a comparison of the list price and sales price of comparable Pottsboro sales. This information may give you a trend and a guideline for your offer. For example, maybe homes in the area have consistently listed for more than they actually sold for. If that is the case, find out what percentage of reduction occurred. Use this information as a basis for your offer. Bitten by the Pottsboro Home Improvement Bug?Before you finalize your decision regarding remodeling versus moving, it is wise to get a professional estimate of your Pottsboro home’s current value, the actual costs of moving to a different home and the estimated return on investment of the most common types of home improvement. I’ll be happy to provide you with a complimentary analysis of your home’s current value. Simply call or E-mail me whenever you are ready. As for improvements that traditionally bring the highest rate of return on investment, here are some statistics. Kitchen remodeling and adding a bath tends to bring rates of return with averaging anywhere from 85% to 95% return on your dollars spent. Compare that with the 64% return on investment for adding a home office. When Pottsboro Does Not SellLet’s say a home is in excellent condition but simply messy. The cat box needs changing, the dog dish is a mess, the dishes haven’t been put into the dishwasher and the beds are not made. Should these conditions affect the price of the Pottsboro? No, but they do. Take two identical houses next door to each other and priced the same. The sparkling clean house will sell much faster than the messy house and the messy house will more than likely sell for a lower figure. This is true of Pottsboro as well as real estate nationwide. When a home does not sell, the owners tend to think that the REALTOR didn’t do a good enough job of promoting the property. There is a difference among agents and brokers and some will promote a property more than others. However, the main and most important method of promoting Pottsboro for sale is listing it in the local MLS. Pottsboro DEDUCTIONSOne of the advantages of home ownership is that while most other types of interest are not tax deductible, the interest you pay on your Pottsboro loan is deductible on your Federal and State income tax. This fact alone gives homeowners a distinct advantage over renters. |
