Recently I had an inquiry on our listing of a manufactured home. I believe they were looking for something less expensive. I explained that this listing included the land. A couple days later, I found a manufactured home for much less and I investigated. I didn't have to look long before I determined that you owned the manufactured home, but not the land. The difference....... $850 monthly fee..... that's $10,200 this year and each year moving forward and this fee can go up over time.
Yes, you need to stay in your budget, but you need to look at all the costs. Know the difference between how you can finance.... owning the land or not owning the land.

Fannie Mae will allow mortgage companies to notify borrowers who may qualify to cancel private mortgage insurance, potentially lowering their monthly payments.

Often, I get asked about solar. This is a good article, but not all inclusive in making a decision to install or to purchase a home with solar.

Install side...... How old is your roof ? Will your insurance company cover your roof after install ? Who covers the solar panel insurance ? Do you need a rider ? Best time to install..... at the time you replace the roof.

The company you purchase solar from, do they market, install, service, warranty and maintenance or is that a different company for each ? Try to find one company that does all. Do you really want to hear, "that is not my responsibility." ? How many systems does this company have that are 30 years old ? Can they provide verifiable referrals ?

Complete a financial analysis. Yes, electric costs will go up over time, but over the last three years, what has your monthly, quarterly and yearly electric bill been ? Get an average.

Now what does the new solar cost ? are you buying outright ? If it is a lease/finance, get in HARD writing, guaranteeing that you can sell and or transfer the lease/finance of your solar to the new owner. After doing the financial analysis, is your electric bill going to be less and does that cover the cost of the lease/finance? The "cover".... that is an individual decision. Would you get solar if you "cleared" $5 month ? $50, $100 ? Remember, you'll have maintenance costs that are unknown until you experience them.

Does the power company require that you stay on "the grid." ? How much will they charge you to stay "on the grid." ? Even if you have solar..... and solar covers partial or all of your electrical needs.

Buyers......can you assume the lease/loan ? How much will that be ? Remember, that monthly cost will need to fit into what the lender says you can afford when you pre-qualify to purchase the house. Unless the seller is paying off the solar loan/lease at closing.

Get copies of the sellers electrical analysis. If they can't or won't share, that should be a RED FLAG‼️Get all maintenance records, invoices etc. Remember, solar panels don't last forever. What is the current age and how many years are left ?

Lastly, if it sounds to good to be true..... GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING IN A CONTRACT...... not what is written in the marketing brochure or what the sales person or that person "supervisor" says. Remember, many of these financing/leases can be as long as 30 years.

Solar sounds great. It's the sun, it should cost no more than the system used to convert solar into energy. Right ?

Be sure you have these answers and you're confident. Surprises are not what you'll want to experience at anytime.

Sellers should determine whether solar panels are owned, financed or leased and address payoff or transfer terms before entering a sales contract.

f a paint color can negatively effect the sale price of a home by $18,000, how much can your house be effected financially by how the outside looks ? Lawn, paint, more vehicles than garage spaces ?

Zillow’s 2026 paint color analysis found that chocolate brown and sage green may help a home show better, while ochre yellow, bright red and pale pink can turn buyers off. Agents caution that paint alone does not determine value, but bold or highly personal colors can still shape a buyer’s first...

I look at hundred's of listing weekly. I am shocked at what shows up through photographs. This article is correct, one photo can cause a potential buyer to move on. In a Buyer's market, which we are in right now, this can be costly.
Recently I looked at photos of a listing that was $3M+. Everything was incredibly clean, put-together. impressive.
Then I get to the photo of the impressive laundry room.... there is a mop handle propped up in the sink, leaning against the wall‼️ Boom🤯
Your agent is there to look for these things. Photographers are there to take photos, not stage your house. Even agents can't correct everything.
It makes a BIG DIFFERENCE.

Real estate professionals say unprepared homes captured in listing photos can drive buyers to competing properties. Clutter, lighting and staging remain within sellers' control before a shoot.
