Asad, I believe you are correct that California remains a non-judicial state. I am curious however Inna what prompted your question and where this information is stemming from?
It would be great if California did actually reciprocate with at least a few other States. I have always been surprised they don't especially with some of our neighbors like Arizona and Nevada...don't get it?... more
I believe in California most of the lawsuits re the transfer of real property are a direct result of non-disclosure by the seller and/or agent. Buyer beware laws have long since changed and as a practical matter even if the MLS does not require the information the disclosure should be made upfront especially regarding matters that could affect title. Just disclose or suffer the potential consequences and why go there...just do it sooner than later. It will save everyone precious time and energy.... more

Well, for the most part, sellers take their cue from their agent... so it's not what have my sellers said to me, it's what have I said to my sellers. What I say to my sellers is this: (Assuming it's true): "The most likely buyer for your home will come with FHA financing. Expect that to mean that A,B,C about your home may have to be repaired for them to get financing - even if the buyers don't care about that." Then, if we luck out and get multiple offers and we have a choice, the preference is: 1 - cash, 2 - conventional financing, 3 - fha, 4 - va. Of course, type of financing is only one consideration - but very often it is the only one that can't be negotiated.
Although I am not seeing this in my market, I have seen situations where FHA has done an appraisal and it's low and the seller can't sell for that amount... and the FHA appraisal sticks for 6 months so until that time, the rule is - no FHA loans. There are also some anti-flipping rules, but they have been relaxed to allow for fix and flips I believe - I know I haven't had any problems with that for a while.
Hope that helps?... more
