9 home repairs to complete before negotiating a sale

There’s something that I see generated in almost every transaction — a list of repair items found during due diligence inspections that buyers would like completed before closing. This can cause heartaches for sellers, who have negotiated their best deal and then feel “put upon” because they’re being asked to make repairs to close the sale.

Choosing the Right Real Estate Agent

A little advice to all home sellers: When choosing an agent to sell your home, please make sure that they have a full service showing service or company behind them. Some agents (with small and large firms alike) do not bother submitting the listing to a true listing service (saves a couple of bucks) and instead rely on their cell phone to take a message and call back at a latter time that may no longer be appropriate for the showing agent. Remember: If you do not show your home; you are not going to sell it. Second: An agent that gives the lock box combo over the phone is an agent that is compromising the safety of your home, because most of the time they have no way of verifying the credentials of the caller.

Since the supply of homes entering the home resale market increased without a corresponding increase in demand, the market absorption rate has been exceeded, and the market price of the resale homes declines. A simple definition is the number of months it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales.

Homebuyers Gaining Bargaining Power as Inventory Increases

Home values saw their smallest monthly increase since May 2012, up just 0.2 percent in January from December according to the latest Zillow Real Estate Market Reports. Year-over-year, U.S. home values rose 6.3 percent in January, down from peak gains of 7.1 percent in August 2013. This slowdown is in part due to the rise in inventory of for-sale homes across the country. The number of homes listed for sale on Zillow was up 11.1 percent annually in January, the fifth straight month of rising year-over-year inventory.
