"There is a laundry list of tasks to do when you first list your house for sale. Not only do you need to declutter and pack, but you also have to get your property in tip-top shape to attract the highest bidder. While you can stage your house and clean it so it shines, that won't help if some glaring repairs need to be made. Before you hire a real estate agent and have photos taken for a listing, take the time to inspect your house and fix the things that might turn away eager buyers."

"In most states, providing a seller’s disclosure is commonplace when selling a home. Disclosure statements are required to ensure the buyer has a better understanding of what they are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on.

But what do you need to disclose to the buyer? We will examine five disclosures you might consider making to the potential buyer.

Some of these items are not required to be disclosed in many states. Regarding disclosure laws, real estate agents and sellers must know their local laws.

Buyers should also be up to speed as to what's required. Let's dive in."

"Over the last two years, you heard endless complaints from your friends and family about multiple offers, skyrocketing prices, and ruthless sellers. For one reason or another, you decided not to buy a home in 2022. But that has only given you the time to save up for an even better down payment. Maybe the time you spent searching has given you a stronger grasp of your local market, and you feel ready. Or, perhaps a matter of circumstance has propelled you into the housing market of 2023.

"Landlord Sonja Kluesener first suspected something fishy when three potential renters contacted her about the Zebulon home she’d just listed on Zillow, and there was a significant price difference.

In her ad, she’d listed the three-bedroom ranch-style cottage at $1,700 per month. But they reported finding a similar ad on another listings site — for $200 less.

Then it clicked. “People were impersonating me,” she told The News & Observer.

Scammers had lifted her ad from the popular real estate site and, within days, created a fake listing using Kluesener’s name, photos, and even open-house times. They also added a few sweeteners, like the below-market price and allowance for “cats and large dogs,” and then posted it to other sites like Redfin and ForRent.com.

The contact number and email listed, however, wasn’t hers."

"Between June 2022 and the end of 2024, experts at Morgan Stanley are predicting around a 10% drop in average national housing prices. At first glance, these numbers might seem worrisome, but it’s important to consider the context.

First, this level of market cooling doesn’t necessarily indicate a “crash.” Typically, when we see a housing market crash, we’d expect to see a reduction in pricing of at least 20%. This is not anywhere near what experts are currently predicting – unless we go into a deep, dark recession that sparks high unemployment rates. Even then, it likely wouldn’t be as bad as 2008."

11/21/2022

"The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported today on two trends in existing home sales that we have seen for many months now: sales are declining while total inventory data has fallen directly for the three straight months. On a positive note, however, the days on the market are no longer a teenager anymore: that metric grew from 18 days to 21 days.

I cheer because the savagely unhealthy housing market theme I talked about back in February of this year was the same premise of the housing reset talking point the Federal Reserve uses. Total inventory data started at all-time lows at the beginning of 2022, creating more bidding war action in January and February, peaking in March."
