As a seller, remember, you CAN list your home and put ANY price on it. You may even find a buyer that's WILLING to pay that much for it. However, the deal can go sour really quickly if your home doesn't appraise at or above the contract price. That's been a common occurrence in this market. As a buyer, you don’t want to invest the money in the appraisal and inspections on a home you plan to buy, only to find out that you have to look for another home and the money you’ve spent is for nothing.
For sellers, the market analysis your agent does on your home should be updated when you receive an offer if you've had your home listed several months. If your agent didn't do a market analysis when you listed your home, they didn't do their job. If you didn't listen to your agent, that could be the reason you're home hasn't sold. In this market, price is one of the best selling features. That being said, however, your agent should be ACTIVELY marketing your home, not using price reductions as a marketing strategy.
If you’re the buyer, have your agent work up a market analysis so you can make a reasonable offer and be informed as to what fair market value is for the home. Our contracts have language that make the offers contingent on the home appraising at or above contract price. To keep my buyers from paying for an appraisal and then the deal falling through, I've been including an addendum that the seller agrees to either pay for the appraisal or reduce the price to appraised amount if it doesn't appraise high enough. The seller has the choice, but it keeps the buyer from wasting money on a home they don't get to closing on. I also wait until we get the appraisal back before scheduling any of the other inspections.
As an agent, we should be handling these transactions for the buyers and sellers as if it were our own. Call me today at 850-501-5875 if you want someone that will give it to you straight and WORK, WORK, WORK for you!

You've heard that foreclosures and short sales, also known as "distress sales" are the way to go to get ahead in this market. There's a bumper crop of them and you'd like to try your hand at making a profit...you know, buy low, sell high. Maybe you are somewhat handy and think that you can put some work into this little diamond in the rough and then rake in the cash when you sell it. Another term for this is called "flipping". Even if you plan on taking advantage of the current market to get a great deal on a home that you plan on keeping, there's a few myths out there about short sales and foreclosures that need to be de-bunked! Myth: Short sales and foreclosures are great deals. Fact: Although you may get a great deal, don't rule out homes that aren't "distress" sales. Sometimes the foreclosures and short sales are in disrepair and will not qualify for certain types of financing. Fact: Homes that are priced competitively may be a better investment than some short sales or foreclosures. Homes listed as short sales may be priced higher than comparable homes in the same neighborhood because the banks use a percentage of what is owed on the home to determine how low they can go in a short sale. Likewise, a foreclosure may end up being a money pit that you end up spending more than comparables to get it move-in ready. Fact: Make sure the listing agent on the short sale has already worked with the seller's mortgage company to determine the selling price. This way, the process is not a waste of your valuable time. While you wait to hear about your offer, all the other great deals on homes are being snatched up. When you finally do get an answer, the counter offer is often higher than it was listed for! So, what's a buyer to do? Work with a Realtor that's experienced in this process and don't rule out homes just because they aren't a short sale or foreclosure. Ask your agent to give you a Market Analysis for homes comparable to the one you're considering! They can be great deals, but don't just assume they are. There's certainly much more to talk about with respect to distresss sales, but I wanted to address a misconception that I kept hearing over and over. Companies even offer to sell people foreclosure lists! You can search foreclosures and short sales for free on my website, but know your options and work with a Realtor that knows the market and can navigate through the process without costing you time and money!
