Do you think that these houses that are being sold for 100's of thousand of dollars are really worth that price?

In 2004, I purchased my first home. I was recently divorced, and took a loan that didn't include taxes and insurance. In 2005, I refinanced to include taxes and insurance, and also paid off my car loan. In April 2006, my mother came to me and asked me and my family if we'd be willing to move into her home since she's having a brand new one built. It's a bigger, nicer house and in an excellent part of town with really good schools that my kids go to and love. I put my house up for sale, even though I have a pre-payment penalty...and after it being listed for 5 months...I took an offer and agreed to $6000 less than my asking price, and $5500 towards closing costs...now I'm only getting $1325 out of the sale of the house!!! And now the buyer wants all these repairs done...even though they'll have about $4600 cash from closing! I know this is bad, but part of me just wants to be done with it....this house we'll be moving into will be mine and it has no mortgage....What do you think

Is this right? He is coming in to repair things, but give me some notice. Does't he have to call me? Or give me a heads up? When I asked him, he told me to move out if I don't like it.

HELP!!!

I would like to know other peoples stories. We had our first offer fall through before we even heard if our mortgage application was accepted. We had been accepted in principle but seems that means absolutely nothing until we have an place in mind and apply for confirmation. We then saw a flat, fixed price but we still hadnt even had an answer on the first offer application!!!! So we let it go through the process thinking by the time we found somewhere else we would know if there was to be any problems. Anyway, my main question is, we placed an offer subject to survey which was then revised as survey was fine. The bank is messing about. The seller wants us to arrange an entry date, preferably quite a quick one but we cant commit until we have our offer of mortgage confirmed and that they can do it in that time. Please can anyone who has arrange a mortgage for the first time in the past year or so tell me have they had the same obstacles? is this normal ?

I have a property in California that I was unable to sell when I moved out of state. I currently have renters occupying it, but they only pay about 50% of the monthly expenses on the property. It is killing me financially to support the property. I think selling it for what I owe plus realtor fees in the current market conditions would be unlikely. What could I expect if I contacted the bank and simply said you can have it?

My real estate agent tells me he will sell my condo in 8 months or less and he has me signs a "listing agreement." Stupid me. I sign the damn thing without looking closer at it! After he walks out the door the listing agreement says I am basically locked in with him for 8 months (with a lock box outside of my condo) and a $995 cancellation fee if I cancel within 8 months. Then I look closer at contract and it says the effective date is 12/08/2007 - 08/31/2007. Thats 8 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days! Thats 9 months! He acts like it is no big deal. I have been fighting with the broker and him for 3 days to fix this. I would prefer to shorten contract to 6 months or less to sell my condo. I told him if he cant sell my condo in 6 months I want to move on to someone else. They are hiding now and avoiding me. Are they scamming me? Does length of time matter to them that much? What are my rights? Should I jack the price way up so they cant sell my condo? Help!

ok why do people fear Mortgage brokers and feel better going to a retail bank to get their mortgage rates? I mean Banks hide their fees in the rate and are more strict in their guidelines. Mortgage brokers have to charge 3rd party fees within the loan aside from the point or two they have to charge for a broker fee. So I need the imput of a proffesional to rebuttal that objection, to le the client know that at the brokers cost they are getting smething they couldnt otherwise get walking to a bank.

I have 3 kids and married, but even though we both have decent jobs, we barely get by month per month. Any government help or any suggestions, out there for hard working normal people? We would be first time home owners.

I need to get a realistic price on work that needs doing it (a survey maybe? Happy to pay for a full one if I have to?!) And a market valuation on it, would rather not have to pretend I'm the seller to some estate agent, want a completely impartial view. Also, what percentage to estate agents take off, so I can reckon this into a private offer, what are the legalities of making a private offer?? Sorry, lot of questions in one lump!
