Specifically, I’m looking for total number of homes sold as well as mean and median prices. I can’t find it within census data. A link to the info would be very helpful. Thank you!
Check the National Association of Realtors site. I am not sure how far back they go.
I understand that real estate firms offer tours of homes for sale in the Vegas area. They ride in buses that give buyers tours of these homes.
Anyone here know of these tours and where to join one?
You are reading a 10 year old article.
This no longer happens, all those houses are foreclosed now and no one is building.
I am perusing the NY Daily News classified ads and I am seeing plenty of homes for sales by owner with low down payments listed. Some say owner pays closing costs, etc. Some have an agent. These homes are in the borough of Queens in areas where many have experienced foreclosures. Now, are these legitimate. I am interested in home ownership. I have a high credit score, long term employment, and would love to stop renting ….the only problem is I don’t have a huge down payment and my income is too high for those home ownership assistance programs. I do have something to put down….just not a lot. Anyhow, should I look at these offers or are they likely to be scams?
It is not likely.
For one, the seller can NOT determine your down payment, that is up to your lender. It is also illegal for a seller to pay more then 50% of closing costs.
At least 50% of those ads are scams, so you need to be careful. Make sure you involve an agent of your own or an attorney.
I also have at least 10 on the market, in my neighborhood. Most are foreclosures or short sales, selling for $75,000 to $100,000 less than for what they sold for 5 yrs ago. (Chicago burbs)
On my street, which is about 200-300 yards long, 6 or 7. Not a very big street and it’s a small town.
I just want to copy pictures of real estate from other websites and post them on my blog. I just want to show users some of the homes in my area that I like. Is this legal? Do I have to contact the owners of the homes or the website that I’m copying them from to get permission first? Thanks for any help.
I would think you would need to get permission from the owner of the photo which most likely be the website you spoke of.
Is it not the leadership of President Obama? Oh, that’s right, the president doesn’t make final decisions, it’s the Congress that does all that. What? The Congress is controlled by Dems? Darn, can’t use that excuse.
It must be the liberal loving media promoting propaganda. Just like when the media backed up G. Dub. Bush when he said there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq! We’ll be paying for that buffoon for decades.
what planet do you live in????? The economy hasn’t even gotten close to stabilizing! I don’t know where you got that from! That’s the stupidest thing I have heard all day! and it’s stabilized, not stabalized.
I asked this before but only got one answer.
A mobile home place on the way to work has this sign up.
How could they be selling trailers to people with that low of score.
Could the trick merely be just a super high interest rate?
Is it that simple?
Last year they had a sign 100% financing on your land.
I don’t understand what the gimmick is?
This is not a personal question – just curious.
Very high interest rates for starters. You don’t get normal mortgage rates on mobile homes. In many states manufactured housing are treated like cars — your have titles, not deeds and actually have to "register" (although it’s called various things) each year.
My guess on the 600 score sign is that the dealer may do some in-house financing — like the buy here/pay here car lots. It might be used mobile homes or last year’s model that he already owns. And of course, there are probably lots of other requirements.
As for the 100% financing on your land, that’s easy. They tie the land to the mobile home loan. Better than a downpayment.
Yeah, for the most part, it probably is a gimmick to get folks with poor credit to stop in. You got to get folks to stop before you can sell them anything.
I had an admin asst who decided to buy a mobile home. Lucky for her, everyone in the office asked all the questions she didn’t bother to ask. The dealer literally told her you can have this model for $xxx per month — no mention of the total price, interest rate, or number of payments. It’s amazing the number of people who would actually sign paperwork without asking anything more than the monthly cost.
We are planning on selling our house in the spring and have already spoken with a real estate agent. She mentioned some recent home sales in the area and how we should price our home according to what has sold and for how much. Is this something that is available to the public or do you have to be a real estate agent to view recent sales in the area? Where can I find what has sold in my area?
I tried zillow and it come up with zero results :-/
Your county assessor’s office should have that. It’s easier just to get your agent to print out all the comps in the area and then you can set a price based on those.
You may also be able to find some of this information on http://www.zillow.com
Edit: If you found zero results, then you may not be doing it correctly. Enter your address on the home page. Then when it switches to the map view, you can click on "similar sold". If nothing comes up on that, then you indivudally click on each house and it will show you when it sold and for what.
