REAL ESTATE AUCTION

Make sure the property you want to sell – or purchase – gets through the appraisal process without drama If you’re worried about a low appraisal affecting your real estate transaction, preparation is the key, according to Frank Gregoire, past chair of the National Association of Realtors appraisal committee. Both buyers and sellers can take steps to remedy the situation. Here are his tips:

The Kenney Farm

10am -Friday - August 9 Open House: August 4 - Noon to 5 or Preview by Appointment

Advice for Sellers:

18210 3rd Ave NE, Arlington, WA Gorgeous 80 acre farm located in rural Snohomish County, just west of Arlington, WA. Amenities include: • Barn conversion to a 2-story home • (3) bedrooms • (3) baths • Large kitchen with commercial appliances • Living room with a river rock fireplace • Dining room • Rec room • Game room • Dance floor • Hot tub • 2nd floor laundry Property features: • Iron entry gate • Manicured lawn • (4) outbuildings & sheds • Windmill • Stream • (2) ponds • Perimeter fence

• If the appraised value is unacceptable, cancel the contract and put the property back on the market. A new buyer, new lender and new appraiser could deliver different results.

• Offer to pay for a new appraisal. Request that the buyer change lenders, preferably to a lender that has closed deals in the building, or neighborhood.

• Contact the state regulatory board and file a formal complaint against the appraiser if there is reason to believe the appraiser acted unprofessionally or made egregious errors.

• Do your homework. Know what other units in your building, subdivision or neighborhood have sold for and ask your real estate agent to provide printed materials detailing those sales.

• Provide the appraiser with all offers received to show market demand, if multiple bids were received.

• Get a pre-listing appraisal. Hire the best appraiser you can find before listing the property. When the lender’s appraiser comes, hand your professional appraisal report to him for guidance.

Advice to Buyers:

• Buyers can cancel the contract without penalty as long as the contract is contingent upon the property appraising for contract price.

• The buyer could use the appraisal as leverage to negotiate a lower price.

• The buyer has the right to request a copy of the appraisal and challenge the appraiser’s report with new data.

• Buyers should always use a preferred lender for condo developments and new housing developments, to decrease the chance of underwriting and appraisal mistakes.

Real Estate: The Next Generation More Millennials see homeownership as a good investment, according to the National Association of Realtors® inaugural Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends report. Millennials are those born between 1980 and 2000.

The survey evaluated the generational differences between recent buyers and sellers and found that while 80 percent of recent buyers felt their purchase was a good investment, the number was even higher among Millennials, at 85 percent. The largest group of recent home buyers consisted of Generation X Americans, those born between 1965 and 1979, who made up 31 percent of recent purchases. The median age of Millennial home buyers was 28, their median income was $66,200 and they typically bought a 1,700-square foot home costing $165,000.

The typical Gen X buyer was 39 years old, had a median income of $93,100, and purchased a 2,100- square foot home costing $235,000.
