How to not set your house pricePricing your Metro Detroit Home A few weeks ago one of my first time home buyers put an offer in on a Novi home. It wasn't a Novi foreclosure. We looked at all the comparables for the home and my clients made a good decision on offer price. But the problem was that the Novi home sellers were chasing the market down. They were always over priced for the Novi real estate market and they still are a little. My buyers offer was a reasonable offer. But now the Novi home sellers were digging their feet in the sand. They have put a list of $215,000 out there and they didn't want to sell it for less than $215,000. ( price has been changed to protect the identity of the seller).. We were $5000 apart when we stopped negotiating. If you call it negotiating. My buyers kept coming up in price and the other side didn't budge. My buyers were willing to pay a little over market for the home. But when we tried to negotiate they were firm on their stance they weren't going to take less than $215,000. NO WAY, NO HOW WERE THEY GOING ANY LOWER. My new Novi home buyers moved on, and bought another Novi home, and the seller's home still sits for sale. There are three mistakes the seller is making.

Home inspectionsSo you are buying an Oakland County home and you are doing a home inspection. You have noticed some water in the basement running out from behind the finished walls. How do you determine what is going on behind the wall? It is tough to know whether the wall is cracked, or has major structural damage. How long has the wall been leaking, or is the wall full of mold? You call in a basement wall repair man and he says let's take down the finished wall, and we will be able to see what is going on behind the wall. Whoa.................You can't do that. You don't own the house. You don't have the right to damage a house you don't own. What happens you take down the wall and decide not to buy it. Do you think the owner is going to be happy that you damaged their home. I think you would be sued for the damage. The real estate agent, the inspector, and the real estate company would all be sued for the damages. You can not take apart or damage any home you are inspecting. So the bottom line is that you can not damage or take apart anything in the house in order to expect. So here are your choices:
Do not take apart or damage a house otherwise you will be paying for a house you don't home. If you have to pay thousands of dollars for repairs in a home you don't own you may not have enough for a down payment on another home. Plus you could lose your earnest money deposit. So whether you are buying Farmington Hills real estate or Novi real estate knowing what you can and can't do in an Metro Detroit home inspection is important. I hope this helped.
