While searching for country land to buy, I came across a property with acreage and a house that was advertised as "only fit for a deer house". What does this mean?

I have worked hard all my life and can not afford 300 400 500 or more thousand for a house. What I am seeing in RI and MA is 3000-4000 sq foot homes with big tags. A 2000 sq ft home is still overpriced at 300000 range. Who can afford this? I earn more than the average 10 bucks an hour person. What can we do to revolt? Perhaps it is time for a new "Boston Tea Party"?

Found a house, offer has been accepted. House is 2 and a half years old. Home inspector found minor water stains on corner of a basement wall. He also said that the downspout was discharging water close to the basement and not a huge issue. We decided to buy the house. Is this pretty common ? The wall wasn't leaking and no water was in the basement. Just few blocks of water stains on concrete walls.

I've never sold a house before and plan to sell mine next summer. I bought it in august 2006 but did not move in full time until december 2006. I was staying there about a week per month until december, but was paying taxes, utilities, etc. So does this mean that if I wanted to sell it in august of 2008, I will still have the capital gain tax applied to me? Would I have to wait and sell it in december of 2008? I think it'd be difficult to sell a house in the winter. Also, I have full ownership of the home and am not making mortgage payments, does this make any difference?

I have friends that say two different things. How does it apply in Florida law - If I make a large payment towards the principal of my trailer, which was sold to me as a privately finaced deal from the seller, will it lower the monthly payment of the mortgage (since the principal is then lowered) , or will it just shorten the time to pay the loan of the remaining balance, reducing interest and not affecting the monthly payment amount ?

I want to sell my house next year. I bought it from someone who did nothing to improve the home or property while she lived there, so I made a lot of improvements to it in a short period. I put in new flooring throughout the house, bought a new boiler, put in new blinds, touched up the exterior paint job, and improved the landscaping. I've only lived here a year and a half, and the improvements totaled over $20000, so there will be a jump in my asking price. For potential buyers who see this price jump in the selling history, will they understand (or be told by the realtor) why the cost of this house went up between the time I bought it from the past owner and now? Are these improvements the type that will be noticed? My biggest concern is that I put all this money into improving the property and I could somehow lose money, because the potential buyers won't like/understand how the price increased in such a short period.

I bought a house last year in ohio, in a very desirable area (historic district). It's a waterfront home with an awesome view of the river. Since the market was so bad I got a great price for it, plus it didn't have much curb appeal and wasn't as kept up as nice as it could be. Unfortunately I love the house (and view!) but I absolutely hate living in ohio, and really want to move back to the east coast. I made a lot of improvements (landscaping, new flooring, blinds, etc) and the house looks really good, but I'm still nervous to try and sell it next summer. Is the real estate market projected to improve next year? I have heard of this 5 year rule, where you have to live in a home for at least five years if you hope to make a profit when selling, or at least to cut even. I do not want to live here several more years! I'm thinking I could hold on to the house for another year and rent something on the east coast, and try to sell the house when the market improves. Any advice?

We would like to make an offer on a home with a list price of $368,900. The home is located in the suburbs of Athens, GA where the market is slow, especially in this price range. We of course don't want to insult them with a low offer but of course want to get the best possible price. I'm not sure how long the home has been on the market but the owners have already vacated the property in the last week and relocated due to a job transfer.

Also, if we used the seller's agent as our buyer's agent would he have more flexibility with the price since he will be earning both buyer and seller commission? For instance, wouldn't he find it more beneficial to take 5% commission, lowering the price or us and giving the seller more money rather than taking 3.5% for representing the seller?
