Something that has been used in the last few years is an appraisal gap. Typically, prior to the pandemic, is most buyers seeking a mortgage would include an appraisal contingency.  For example, if the contracted price between the buyer and seller is $500,000, and the buyers lender sends out the appraiser who values the property at $475,000. That would give the buyer the option to renegotiate the deal to the $475,000 or walk way from the transaction, as the buyer may feel they are overpaying for the property.However, it has been a home sellers market in almost all price ranges since 2020. Buyers sometimes have to get creative get a home if they are competing. One thing is the appraisal gap. This means for example, if the seller and buyer agree to a contract price of $550,000, and the buy...

I have recently need a good amount of properties go up for sale shortly after the owners bought the house in the Danbury,CT area. I can think easily of about a dozen properties in my market that things didn't work out after their closing and now the owners are in a position where listing their home for sale is a necessary matter. Keep in mind the following as part of your decision making process.-Expense:  There are settlement charges associated with the sale of your home. They include real estate service fee, real estate conveyance tax split between the town and the state, recording fee, and your attorney's fee. You will also have you pay your movers. You will also get back at closing any taxes that is paid in advance and reimbursed for any remaining fuel. -Are you are aware of any hou...

I did just recieve this unsolicated review from a recent real estate client. Jonathan,We would like to take a moment to thank you for your efforts over the years. We enjoyed working with you to find our first home for our family Danbury. When we thought about moving again, we knew we wanted to work with you again.  You were very helpful again in listening to our needs for your 'forever home'. We enjoyed toured only 6 homes matching our criteria which you came fully prepared with information.  We were fortunate to reach a satisfactory contract in a timely manner so secure such a great home that was almost twice as large as the condo   However, the covid 19  pandemic came we were panicked about our possible move. You kept us assured we were making the right decision, and worked hard to ge...
