Would a Garden pond Raise or Lower the property Value of a home?

Neither. Some people would love this, others would consider it a nuisance. It does not add value.

Will a new mobile home installed on my street decrease my home value?

admin — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 15:27:17 +0000

A neighbor recently sold part of his land and now someone has bought it for there new mobile home which was delivered today. I am worried that this will decrease the property value. There is one other mobile home on the street and the zoning in the area is mixed. All other property has houses averaging $175000 to $200,000.

You already have one manufactured home on the street so it would seem this is permitted under the covenants, conditions and restrictions of your development if any exist. Apparently you live in the "country" or at least in an area with larger lots as you mentioned that your neighbor subdivided his lot and sold part of it off so obviously the lots are large enough to accomplish this. And in those areas it is typical not to have restrictive covenants on the land that prohibit manufactured housing. And even where these types of covenants exist, they generally restrict home sizes to above a certain minimum as opposed to excluding any specific type of construction. If you were concerned with this possibility, you should have purchased a home in a community that had restrictive covenants.

However, in an unregulated environment manufactured homes are not uncommon and it is quite likely that the values in your area already reflect both the existing manufactured home on the street and the potential for others to exist. So, no, this would not necessarily lower your values.

And if this home is finished nicely and well landscaped, it might even be worth more than some older stick-built homes. There are some areas in the northeast (parts of upstate New York and Connecticut, for example) where manufactured homes are a very common product for new housing and they sell for upwards of $400,000. And in some rural areas I have seen manufactured homes that are worth over $1,000,000.

For home refinance, will my property tax be increased if my property value has been increased?

My property value for property tax is about 500k and the market value is about 650k. If I do refinance now, will my property value for tax will be jumped to 650k? I am in CA. Thanks.

Refinancing should not affect property taxes.

In most states (but not California), if your property value has increased, then the property tax will increase as a result at some time (usually the next revaluation by the tax assessor), but not as a result of refinancing.

What does an oil spill do to a home’s property value?

admin — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 11:05:58 +0000

What if the spill was cleaned up properly?

It will murder it as no-one will want to take a chance on buying a possible environmental diaster,,,It would have to be properly dealt with and certified clean to restore value..Also no mortgage company will loan on this till its cleaned up.

How To Buy A Lender REO Foreclosure

admin — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 21:46:31 +0000

Welcome to How to buy a Foreclosure video series.
In this video series I explain One of Five ways to buy REO’s. REO’s are Real Estate properties owned by a Lender. Why would a lender take a loss and work with you to buy a property under market value? Because lenders are not in the rental property or property owning business. If a lender has a large backlog of unsold foreclosures. Such as new homes, unfinished homes, condos or even apartments. That lender is losing money very fast. If the market is slow they can foresee big losses. This creates an opportunity to save big and buy below market value.

Home Staging Tips: Dining Room Staging

admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 17:37:59 +0000

http://www.homestagingchannel.com – Dining Room Staging. Invoke the buyer’s emotions by setting the stage in the dining room. This is the one room in the home that you can really show off and grab the buyer’s attention.

Choose a Theme.
Excite the buyer’s imagination of entertaining friends, family gatherings and intimate dinners. You can do this by setting table scapes. Choose a theme and build off of it.

Above Example:

We chose a modern chic style table scape. Our colors we incorporated are silver, blue, crystal, white and black. You can choose any scheme you want; just make sure not to use to many personalized, loud or bright colors.

Dining Room Staging
Make sure when your home is on the market that each space in the home is perfect. This means clear out the clutter, clean and stage. Another area of thought is how is your home going to look in photos. This is the area of the house that you can really show off. Why do you think that model homes are fully staged and furnished? Because it sells’s the home! We want buyers to feel exciting and inspired while in your home. This increases that chance of a quick sale.

Do not forget that buyer’s make up their minds long before arriving at your property. If they do not see a well-taken photograph’s on the Internet, don’t count on them taking any interest in your home.

what does a new mall do to home property values?

admin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 11:28:48 +0000

i think it would depend upon your home’s proximity to it.. but also remember that malls have the tendency to decrease in quality as newer malls are built elsewhere..

probably good for values for awhile, but i think eventually it would decrease or stop increasing
