What are the dangers of buying a home that turns out is still in bankruptcy?

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 02:04:00 GMT

What are the dangers of buying a home that turns out is still in bankruptcy? Upon closing the title is not released and the seeler, the bank, has to ask for a motion for relief from the automatic stay, thus delaying closing by at least 21 days. What else can go wrong in this situation?

Zillow has, for some reason, incorrectly changed the street name of my address.

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:39:00 GMT

My home address has been correct ever since I began using Zillow. However, the address has been changed for some reason so that now the street name is wrong.
This also affects a few neighboring houses along the same stretch of road. There is no way to edit this info, even as the homeowner. Can this be corrected please?

Can temperature affect a Buyer's perception of your home?

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 19:21:00 GMT

I've sold real estate for many years and I've always felt that a warm house was more pleasant to show and seemed to garner a better opinion from the Buyer. But since I live in Oregon and am a person who finds it quite hard to stay warm enough, I figured my viewpoint was more of a personal one. That was until I heard a recent news story on www.radiolab.org. The broadcast referred to an experiment that intended to show whether human opinion can be influenced by temperature. Researcher Lawrence E. Williams and psychologist John A. Bargh seemed able to influence people's opinions by having them briefly hold a warm cup of coffee versus a cold cup of iced coffee. It is theorized that the part of the brain that perceives temperature is also linked to opinion creation.

This theory could have amazing implications for real estate sales. I recall the number of foreclosed homes I showed this winter which had ice inside the windows. Not surprising that they haven't sold. Agents typically request that their Sellers keep the home in a warm and inviting condition at all times for showings, and this experiment may indicate the importance of doing so. Overheating vacant homes is a terrible waste of energy, but maybe a case could be made for providing coffee and tea to Buyers! Seriously and ethically speaking, explaining to Buyers that their perception of the home, situation, or even inspection might be influenced by temperature could theoretically help a Buyer make a less biased decision. For those of us in the cooler States, this might help us make a few more winter sales, as well.
