home sellers: Understand Seller Disclosure Before Making an Offer on a House
- 08/01/13 12:22 AM
Seller disclosure helps homebuyers understand the condition of a home before they make an offer. It requires the home seller to explain any defects that could hurt a house's value, such as a leaky basement, mold or damaged foundation. The home seller will list these problems for the potential homebuyer to review, and these problems should be reflected in the house's listed price. If, however, you live in a state that doesn't require sellers to provide a written disclosure, it's important that you as the homebuyer ask for a list of problems anyways. Looking for new ways to attract customers? … (0 comments)
home sellers: The Home-Selling Nightmare Never Ends For Some Homeowners
- 01/28/11 01:54 AM
It’s a home-selling nightmare: Your home has been on the market for months, or even years, without so much as a nibble.Nearly every Sunday on my WSB radio show, I hear from home sellers who are stuck in this kind of never-ending home-selling nightmare. They can’t sell because one, two, or more homes in the area were sold as foreclosures for pennies on the dollar or are listed for a fraction of the “value” of the neighborhood.Here’s what I’ve been telling sellers: If you want to know how easy or difficult it will be to sell your home, step outside your … (2 comments)
home sellers: 2011 Outlook for Home Sellers
- 12/17/10 01:58 AM
I don't have to tell you it’s been a lousy few years for home sellers. With home prices falling by an average of 30 percent (but more than 50 percent in some places, according to the National Association of Realtors) and foreclosures hitting a record high in 2010, home sellers have found it’s pretty hard to sell an average, normally priced home.As we head into 2011, home sellers are still facing a host of problems like foreclosures, high levels of unemployment, reduced income, and trashed credit profiles. I’m often asked what I think will happen next year in the housing market. To … (1 comments)

home sellers: House Sellers Must Think Like House Buyers
- 09/02/08 07:59 AM
I spent some time in the past few weeks listening to friends who are thinking about moving across the country to buy a house. What they're telling me is that even though there is a seemingly endless list of houses for sale, not all home sellers are making the most of the house they're trying to unload. When it comes to putting your house up for sale, the big problem for most homeowners is thinking like a seller. Most homeowners think that the house that they lived in, and loved, is the house they're trying to sell. In fact, if your … (3 comments)

- 08/12/08 02:50 AM
This is a big change folks. Here's how the rule was: You could sell your home every 24 months, provided you lived in it as a primary residence, and then you could keep up to $500,000 (if you're married, $250,000 if you're single) in profits tax free when you sell.
