gettysburggerry: Extreme Low Ball Offer Usually Means Amateur Buyer
- 08/20/10 06:18 AM
Extreme Low Ball Offer Usually Means Amateur BuyerI don't know about you, but when I see a super low ball offer come through, it usually means that a new home buyer has spent the night at a Comfort Inn and thinks they are now Donald Trump. All too often I see these offers come and the buyer is amazed that the seller hasn't responded in 6 hours because they are so desperate to sell. Usually when a seller recieves an offer that is 40, 50, or 60% below asking price the only thing that the buyer has accomplished is insulting the … (12 comments)

The Product is FlawedRecently Adams County tax payers got together with Adams County Commissioners to discuss the recent property tax reassessment that was Conducted by Century 21 Appraisals.

- 08/01/10 04:16 AM
Understand What you are Getting IntoLiving here in Gettysburg Pa can be fun, informative and yes a big pain in the butt. The chapel in the picture is causing a huge controversy here in Gettysburg. This building is built on a formerly useless rocky empty lot, a gentleman moved here from NH and erected a Civil War chapel, but it was a tent (temporary). During the winter the tent was destroyed and this is what was constructed in it's place. No big deal, one would think. Problem, this is a permanent structure and the Gettysburg wants their pound of flesh, to … (12 comments)

NAR Reports Existing Home Sales Drop 5.1%However it is not all bad news, while existing home sales nationwide reported at 5.37 million dropped 5.1%, it is still 9.8% higher than the 4.89 million sales reported last year. So it appears that sales are dropping since the tax credit, the real estate market is doing better than a year ago.

A Disturbing Trend in Real EstateI have been reading more and more about a trend in real estate that I find extremely disturbing. Strategic defaults are on the rise, and that is not a good thing. Just the fact that the practice has been given a name which now makes a quantifiable index scares the heck out of me. First lets define what a strategic defaults is, by definition a strategic defaulter is someone who has missed 6 months or more of mortgage payments, but has not missed any payments on other loans. This has the potential to adversely affect a … (8 comments)

Protecting Your Home is a Constant BattleMany first time home buyers are aware that they had to show proof of insurance to complete closing requirements and take possession of their new home, never to give the status of that insurance another thought, until it is too late.
