postheadericon How Distressed Home Sales Impact your Home’s Value

We know the gut wrenching feeling when a home sells down the street from you for well below Fair Market Value (FMV). You may only find out when a perspective buyer says your home is too high priced because of that distressed home sale! Distressed home sales happen in any and every neighborhood from ghettos to multi-million dollar estate neighborhoods.

What is considered a distressed home? We usually think of distressed property as one with plywood over the windows and doors, perhaps inhabited by vagrants or drug dealers. In fact, most distressed sales are generally in no worse shape than the other homes in the neighborhood. So, a distressed home sale should be considered any property that sells enough below Fair Market Value (FMV) that it impacts the value of the surrounding houses.

From our experience, we believe that any property that trades at 20% or more below the “Median Home Value” will affect appraisal values throughout the neighborhood. This is especially true if there has been a second distressed sale within six months. What begins to happen is these distressed sales become new comparable sales and start impacting local homes on the market. These distressed sales force homeowners to reduce their prices and a domino effect of declining prices can begin to take place. Many other aspects of a home sell it besides price alone, but many sellers don’t realize this.

One of the most common causes of a distressed sale is neglect of the property, especially where residents may be physically or financially unable to care for their property. The only chance for change for these homeowners may be to wait until they move, or sell your house before theirs comes on the market where it will be sold as a distressed property. This distressed sale again causes a decline in your home’s value and neighborhood values in general.

Other common causes of distressed sales are foreclosure and divorce. In foreclosure, the property may be sold well below fair market value because the homeowner no longer cares what happens to the property and the lender gets it back through the foreclosure system. To avoid losing his home and having the foreclosure on his credit report, he may sell his home for what is owed, which can be 80% or less of last year’s market value. In divorce situations, common sense can go out the window when one or both spouses wants out of the relationship, without caring about selling their home for the best possible price.

Not as common are special inter-family sales that take place below fair market value for of personal reasons. Probate or estate sales often take place below FMV because the beneficiaries only want to get out of the property and into cash as quickly as possible. We detail these problems and other reasons for distressed home sales with specific solutions in our Home Study Course for home sellers.

There is some consolation is the fact that the distressed sale is only looked at by appraisers for about six months after it becomes public record. This time period was previously as much as one year but has recently been shortened by lenders because of the declining real estate market.

If you are selling your home, you want your appraiser to do a “full appraisal” which includes coming inside your property and giving you credit for the condition of your home and any improvements you made. Otherwise, if he simply does what is called a “drive-by appraisal” he must use only the information that is in the public record. With a “full appraisal” you will more importantly have the opportunity to talk with him about the reason for the distressed sale in your neighborhood so he can discount it entirely. A distressed home sale in your neighborhood can decrease the FMV of your property by as much as 10% to 15%.

In summary, your best option to overcome distressed home sales in your neighborhood is to be alert to their potentially happening and see if you can get involved with your neighbors to help the homeowners before the sale. If this is not an option, and you sell your home and get an appraisal below what you feel is FMV, look at the appraisal specifically for the home or homes that brought down your property value, and challenge the appraisal. If you see a comparable sale or two that are way out of line with others in your neighborhood, talk to neighbors about what happened and relate this information to the appraiser so he can redo his report. Being proactive like this could save you tens of thousands of dollars by not having to reduce your selling price or having to give unnecessary seller concessions.

postheadericon DIY Home Improvement Help and Loans

Help can be found easily when it comes to home improvements. You can hire a local handy man to come and help you or you can pull in some favors from friends and family members, either way it is very easy for help to come and guide you through your project.

It doesn’t just need to be family or friends that help you can also hire some professionals, of course you are more likely to pay them a heck of a lot more than you would some friends and neighbors. Either way you look at it, help is always available and of course in this day and age it is available twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and three hundred and sixty five days a year.

Help can be in the form of people or of course you can turn to technology. You can either use television, computers or even state of the art tools to get your work done. They are all great ways to help you in your quest for home improvement. Many people are looking for the best way to do up their home and everyone gives different ideas to everyone else. You can only choose the help that suits you though, don’t invite any one along that is going to jeopardize the timeframe or the work that is going to be completed. Also when watching a DVD about home improvement don’t change your mind half way through the project that you want it done another way instead of the way you had originally planned as this will make your hired help not in the best of moods.

Help is of course like I said very easy to find and of course you can get cheap labor slapping your mates on the back asking them for a favor so why not try that approach rather than contracting some very expensive professionals to get the work done for you! It is always cheaper in the long run to employ some friends and neighbors instead of contractors as you have to pay for their over priced labor charges and material charges. At the end of they day if you can’t be bothered with all the hassle of hiring some help then just go for it alone, you may find out that it would probably be quicker than putting up with everyone else’s demands and you will also get exactly what you want done without splashing out some extra cash.

Home Improvement Loans

Loans are the easiest way to finance your home improvement projects. Financing is not difficult if you are working and you are able to afford repayments on a loan. You don’t have to be squeaky clean to get credit anymore which is fantastic as that opens up a lot of options for people who have had bad experiences with credit in the past but are ready to make amends! Home improvement financing is one of the more important parts of the project and needs to be sorted out one hundred percent before venturing into any home improvement project.

You can’t get anything for free these days and of course why should home improvement be any different. Financing is serious and should be given the utmost consideration and thought before embarking on taking out any loans especially if they are secured on your home or your car! You can lose everything if you can’t keep up with the repayments so make sure that is the first thing that you do. There is no point investing all the money that you have borrowed into your home only for your home to be taken off you because you couldn’t repay the money that you borrowed.

Financing is a serious responsibility. Loans and the like are only available to those who are over the age of eighteen as this is deemed as credit and the law states that you are an adult and allowed these things when you hit eighteen! Of course the law in the USA states you are not an adult until you are twenty one but you are still allowed to access credit facilities.

Home improvement financing is easy to come by if you are old enough and of course have some money coming in. Home improvement financing is now easier than before so there is no reason why you should be putting off your projects as they can easily be carried out with the littlest of hassle.
