Video 96: How is the neighborhood? Would you live here? Those types of questions we as Realtors are not allowed to answer because of Fair Housing laws. While I cannot answer that question, I can show you where to get the answer. The Arizona Department of Real Estate has a Buyers Advisory which will give you the information you need to make those decisions for yourself. If you work with me as a buyer, you will always get a copy, but in case you want one now, here is a PDF version of the Arizona Buyers Advisory. Would love to hear your thoughts, you can leave a comment or e-mail me Dean Ouellette.
Is this neighborhood safe? We cannot answer that, but we can show you where to get the answer
Top 5 real estate posts of the day for 10/13/2009
1) Closing costs should not be hidden – No home buyer should be surprised about closing costs, their lender should have covered it with them before closing.
2) “Leading” with listings, systematically getting (a few clicks) from Twitter, and using some lazy math to justify the effort… – Interesting idea on a Twitter ID for each listing.
3) Shar, I’ll take a safe neighborhood for $200k, please – Fair Housing, always a popular subject.
4) Mortgage rates are now as low as newspapers are reporting – It’s hard to write a story about mortgage rates when they change 4 times a day.
5) How much house can you afford? – New app helps you answer that question.
