house: Are you on the fence about buying a home, first time buyer maybe? ( Taunton area Real Estate for Sale) - 11/27/11 02:32 PM

Oswald Acted Alone and We Did Land on the Moon-reposted with permission
We believe that things are usually as they seem. We are not the type of organization that believes in conspiracies. However, there is something interesting in some of the housing price studies we are seeing in our research. It seems that some of the groups making the predictions are the same ones that have the greatest power to affect the prices they are projecting.
Most housing analysts warn that the heaviest downward pressure on prices will be created by distressed properties and the speed at which they will be … (0 comments)

house: Are prices stabiizing in the Taunton/Rehoboth/Dighton? - 12/20/08 07:21 PM
Is stabilization around the corner?  Someone approaches me at least once a day regarding the state of the market. Nobody has a crystal ball. When the market changes, nobody will know it until they look back. It happens fast.

I heard this today ....a situation where a buyer submitted an offer on a bank owned property with her buyers agent. The Buyer was given the lock box combo with permission from the listing agent and the buyers agent to go into the property prior to closing and do some fix up work.

The home inspector inspected the property and informed the buyer that her $45,000 bank owned home would cost $45000 more to bring to a point where the bank would actually finance the property.. missing copper, structural issues, etc. The buyer … (3 comments)
