Are we headed for “The Great Recession?

Discount Real Estate | The Great Recession?

the residual effects of what some economists are calling, “the Great Recession.”  Although the economy is naturally cyclical and there has been evidence of positive growth, there remains a substantial population who continue to struggle financially. As easy as it is to lambaste the policy decisions of our political leaders and the heads of our central bank, this article is not about their obvious shortfalls. Instead, it emphasizes the importance of being a risk aversion decision maker.

The root of the problem can be attributed to the immense amount of authority our society has given modern institutions. Considerable portions of exchanges today are marked by a large gap of misinformation between consumer and producer, often in favor of the latter. For example, physicians are often at fault in over assessing their patients, usually resulting in the unnecessary prescription of medications or unneeded referral of treatment in order to avoid potential lawsuits. Various mobile providers have also used their large market control in order to set high price floors on basic cell phone packages. Although the emergence of new smaller firms in the market has recently helped make the same services more affordable. These are just two examples of how asymmetrical information may lead to some form of over consumption. Continue reading

Things private for sale by owners need to know before selling their own home

Things to consider if thinking of selling privately? | FSBO

  • Most buyers find it extremely awkward to negotiate or even to talk directly with sellers and therefore avoid FSBO properties.
  • Lack of negotiating experience and lack of pertinent information often will result in a lower selling price, or worse yet, a bungled contract and possible lawsuits.
  • Many serious buyers will pass by a FSBO home merely because they recognize that it is not in the real estate mainstream, this can sometimes make them wary.
  • Expected savings in broker’s fees will also be greatly reduced if you offer a selling commission to entice real estate agents to bring potential buyers.
  • If you are planning to use a Lawyer to help you negotiate the offer, then your lawyer’s fees will be considerably higher.
  • Realtors have access to the up-to-date market information. Homeowners may find difficulties approaching timeliness or specificity available to agents. Further, real estate agents are involved in home sales much more frequently than the average homeowner is. This familiarity leads to a degree of expertise that provides an edge on negotiating and successful selling.
  • Accepting an offer is one thing, ensuring a safe and successful closing is quite another. Real estate transactions sometimes have problems on closing. At times, expecting the Buyers and Sellers Lawyer’s to fight it out or resolve the problems, can sometimes mean the deal is lost. This is the time that your experienced real estate professional, can be the most important. You’re Realtor© can act as a great mediator.
  • The money you may save on the commission could get eaten up by the time it takes to sell your home. In most cases, it takes longer to sell a house privately than it does if you utilize the services of a real estate company.
  • You only pay the commission to the real estate broker, if they successfully sell your home at the price you are happy with.
