One issue prospective buyers may find helpful to consider concerns performing a thorough property inspection in advance of a sale. When an individual lists a personal residence on the market, the seller can usually supply important information about the home and its local environs. A financial institution may not choose to furnish this information to prospective purchasers due to a lack of accurate data.

For instance, a seller who has spent time residing on the premises can often supply details such as the amount of money the seller spent on household utilities in this location during recent years, or the anticipated garbage collection schedule in the neighborhood. Sometimes banks cannot provide this type of specific information about all of the residential realty in their inventories. Anyone considering purchasing a bank owned property as an investment or for personal use will want to research these types of issues carefully.

Particularly if the bank offers the residence for sale during a public auction, prospective buyers may only enjoy a comparatively brief opportunity to preview the interior of the home in advance. The seller may make the property available for inspection for only a limited period of time on specific dates. If you cannot attend this preview in person, you may find it useful to ask your real estate agent to appear on your behalf. Boston City Properties frequently helps homes seekers locate and screen foreclosures sold at public auctions.

Short Sales

Sometimes a home seller discovers the most competitive listing price for a home won't generate sufficient funds at the closing to satisfy the outstanding mortgage debt secured by the residence. A wide variety of potential reasons underlie these situations. The condition of the property may (or may not) play a significant role in a short sale situation.

For example, the seller may discover the residence requires expensive repairs, such as a new roof installation, foundation repair services, or a complete re-piping of the plumbing system. In some cases, an exuberant property marketplace cools down suddenly, leaving property owners with variable rate mortgages with less equity in their homes than they originally anticipated after several years of ownership. A myriad of elements underlie potential short sale scenarios.

In some situations, mortgage lenders with a secured interest in the property will agree to permit a short sale. Yet some banking institutions cannot take this step as a matter of policy. Laws concerning short sales and contracts for deed vary somewhat from state to state. These types of transactions may involve a high level of financial or legal risk.

It generally proves useful if you find yourself considering entering into any type of real estate "short sale" in this locale to consult in advance with an experienced licensed Massachusetts attorney specializing in the field of real estate law. You may also benefit by consulting with a licensed local real estate broker familiar with the Maynard residential realty marketplace. Obtaining expert advice may assist you in avoiding disappointments as you list or purchase a home here.
