FriendshipProperties's Q&A

The CT MLS board automatically sends listings to Zillow. I'm in the West Haven area, feel free to contact me and I'll give you my opinion on what the house will SELL for.

Contact the listing agent.  If its not listed you should probably just wait until it is.

In most cases they already factored in those repairs to the price PLUS SOME.  Are you using comps and repair costs?

Comparable sales using MLS data.

Not really a logical question unless every house in danbury is ..- THE SAME EXACT HOUSE- IN THE SAME EXACT CONDITION- ON THE SAME EXACT LOT- IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATIONWhat does the median price even matter?  All that means is that houses ARE selling for MORE and LESS than $280k.Will $330k be a harder sell in Danbury b/c its over the median? .. maybe.  Does it mean its over priced? No.

I buy and sell Short Sales often with great success.  The most important thing is to make sure the sellers agent understands how to even do a short sale properly.  If the purchase offer falls with-in 85% or greater of the banks 'As Is in 30 days' BPO or Appraisal .. it has a very very good chance of being accepted.

Your ability to get financing is a CONTINGENCY of the contract.  If your unable to get financing you are entitled to your deposit, no questions asked.

Have someone run MLS sales reports.

Zillow uses town data and recently sold comparables.  What they typically do not take into account is the property condition... which is why they have a High + Low value.

Show up at the specified time and usually the door will be OPEN.
