Disclosure, Disclosure, Disclosure!

Disclosure is a hot legal topic in the world of real estate.  Policy revision and legal scrutiny have replaced the usual “caveat emptor” (buyer beware) approach with more clearly defined regulations.

The current trend is toward greater divulgence of property defects, so it is better for you to be thorough.  If you refer to some condition in your home that may be considered a defect, describe it clearly.  Protect yourself with full disclosure.   According to legal sources, incomplete disclosure represents 70% to 80% of all real estate lawsuits.  Even if you refer to a problem but do not reveal all the facts, you could still find yourself in court.

A real estate professional can help you navigate these complex legal waters.  The “mandatory seller disclosure forms” can provide peace of mind to both buyers and sellers.  This useful checklist covers many areas you may not think to address on your own.

4 Reasons to Sell Now!

 Selling a property in this tough market can seem like a challenge.   Here are four factors that actually make this a good time to post a For-Sale sign.

1. Sell low and buy low.   Because all property values are down, the loss on the property a home owner sells is really only a paper loss because the next property he buys also will be a bargain.   If he buys smartly, when prices come back up in a few years, he’ll be in better shape.

2. Down-payment help is widely available.   While nothing-down loans have disappeared, it is easy to find down-payment assistance for lower-income and first-time home buyers. Programs vary all over the country, but one good way to find them is to search online for “down-payment assistance programs” and the name of your region.

3. Your uncle has money to share.   Besides the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit and the $6,500 move-up credit, there are an array of energy tax credits that can make home improvements pay off in cash.

4. Good help is available.   Really talented real estate practitioners, contractors, and designers are available and eager for business.
