Should we count on the listing agent?

Michael Doyle answered:
Keep in mind with a short sale the bank can reject all offers and foreclose. if it's being offered "subject to bank approval" the bank may not approve and foreclose to protect their asset.

Jennifer,
Without knowing what the house is worth it's impossible to know how much to counter. Have your agent do a market on what the house is worth now and what it will be worth once you repair it. Don't go over 80 percent of what the CMA says to worth right now.

Kelly,
Have the house tested for radon at your expense after closing and if the results are high look into mitigation. This is not something to just ignore. Most buyers do not test for radon but they should. if your inspection period has passed it's too late to ask the seller to make any additional repairs.

Sue,
With a short sale the seller is asking the bank to take less then they are owed. The bank may decide not to take any of the offers and foreclose on the property. Once that happens it will be re-listed at a new price. What we are seeing is houses being put on MLS at prices the bank hasn't agreed to. A lot of these "short sales" never happen.

Ravi,
I think you will get a get deal if you buy right now. You should be able to buy at 2004 prices. If you can stay there for five years you should be fine. The single family homes you will find under 200k in Maple Grove will need a lot of work so a town house might be a wise choice. Good luck on your search.
