The Responsibilities of the Carlsbad Seller Do You Know What They Are?

Your Vacant Carlsbad Home May NOT Be Helping You Sell It! And There is Risk Involved  
Selling a vacant Carlsbad home may not be an easy thing to do. I’m not speaking about REOs and short sales – that’s a topic for another post.

Most sellers, when moving out of their home to a new one, or at least a new location, leave behind a vacant house. I get that.

For some it suits their lifestyle, with limited maintenance required except for the interior. Be aware, though, that HOA fees in condos can get pretty pricey and you need to find out what you are getting for the monthly fees you are paying.
Other buyers may need to consider condos because of their budget, although there are single family detached homes for sale in Carlsbad these days beginning in the mid $300s (most are short sales and REOs).
