Builder said they may offer to purchase our old home & lease it out if we buy their new construction.

Asked Sat Aug 23 2008, 19:34 by Ryan - Nashville - Home Buying - 4 answers

Jane Henry answered:

Ryan, this aproach by builders/developers is not unusual. The important thing for you to be sure of is true market value -- both for your present home and the new construction. If you're working directly with the builder and not using a realtor to help you negotiate, that's more challenging. Realtors have access to lots of market information to determine market value of both homes based on actual sales of comparable homes in those areas. This can be a bit tricky, but it can work for builder and buyer. Good luck! - Sat Aug 23 2008, 19:54

We are confused over how the legal requirements are for houses in Tennessee. We found a house and every

Asked Tue Jul 1 2008, 13:27 by Linda O'neal - Nashville - Home Buying - 16 answers

Jane Henry answered:

Jesus -- I did not and would not suggest anyone purchase a home they think is a bad investment or a home that isn't what it was represented to be. I certainly wouldn't suggest a client of mine look at beautiful blue skies, hummingbirds and rainbows while ignoring problems with the property. However, as experienced realtors know, life's not always as simple as just "get out of the deal" once legally binding contracts have been signed. My question to Linda about the second square footage number was to ask whether it was more reliable than the first number. - Mon Jul 7 2008, 23:15

Linda,

I'm just wondering -- where does the conflicting square footage of 1718 come from? Did you measure on your own? Also, has your agent provided you with market information for the neighborhood and the house? As someone else has noted, square footage is just one factor in determining a house's value. You may find, even with a little less square footage, that your purchase price is within market value for the area.

Good luck!

Linda --

I'm not sure what documents were provided to you with reference to square footage, but a general home inspection is intended to inspect for foundation or other structural issues, to check systems (such as electrical, heating/cooling, and sewage disposal). A general home inspection may also check wells, water sources, fireplaces, check for environmental issues (such as radon gas, toxic mold, and asbestos), and also check synthetic stucco, window/door seals, and more. The home inspection does not typically include information about square footage. If you financed the purchase of the house, your lender most likely required an appraisal. The appraisal would show square footage as measured by the appraiser. And, if the house was listed with a realtor and entered into MLS, there would probably have been reference to square footage there. However, there is almost always a disclaimer on the MLS documents warning that the Buyer should check on his/her own to verify square footage.

I was asked by a potnetnial buyers agent to sign a Madisclosure form. This made me very uncomfortable because

Asked Mon Jun 30 2008, 11:39 by Tracey - Franklin - Home Buying - 3 answers

Jane Henry answered:

If the agent believed that you were asking her to represent you, it was not inappropriate for her to ask you to sign an agreement to that effect. At the same time, it's perfectly appropriate for you to let her know that you're interviewing other agents, too, and that you'll get back in touch with her shortly to let her know your decision. - Mon Jun 30 2008, 12:05

We are considering lakefront property in Tn, lake Norris, etc. Why is there such a price difference?

Asked Sun Dec 30 2007, 07:39 by Eustice Peale - Johnson City - Home Buying - 3 answers

Jane Henry answered:

E.P.,

I live and work in the Tri-Cities area of TN. In the Johnson City/Tri-Cities TN area, the price differences are affected by many things such as some of the following: which lake the property is on (there are several lakes in this area, each offering different amenities); whether it is on a main channel or not (this affects whether there is water year round or just in the spring/summer); what kinds of homes surround the home for sale (outside the gated/planned communities, very different kinds of homes may sit right next to each other). Let me know if I can help you further, and good luck! - Sun Dec 30 2007, 08:20

Asked Sat Dec 15 2007, 17:37 by JUNE TASSILLO - Franklin - Home Selling - 3 answers

Jane Henry answered:

June -- Is the home listed with a realtor? If listed, what does your agent say about your market's average days on the market, typical seller concessions for this type of home/price range? If not listed, what is your marketing plan? Does it include advertising to buyer's agents that you will pay commission? As Ian pointed out, it's sometimes difficult to sell new construction -- especially if it's in a price range where buyers will just choose to custom build for the same price so they can have the particular features that matter to them. - Sat Dec 15 2007, 19:23
