Real Estate Homes Online

I found a site a while back where you could search homes for sale by location and MLS#. Among the sites info was how many days a house has been on the market. I can’t remember the name of the site (it began with a T). Anyone out there have a better memory than me??
The site I recall searched nationally, it wasn’t a local site. It was more like Zillow.

Windermere, John L. Scott are a couple of agencies that list "days on market".

I am looking for a Real Estate agent who will sell my home. The house is in Queen Creek, AZ and I do not want to short sell it. I want to sell for what I owe on it. It is a 2054sq ft home and I owe 178k on it. It is in amazing condition, 3 years old.

Yahoo does not allow Answers users to promote agents or companies on the site. Since Piinal County does not have a local realty office, you will probably have to interview Chandler or Mesa agents. Currently there are 2050 sq ft houses for sale by banks for $120,000 in good condition. There are many short sales of that size for $110,000. Those prices are much less than the owners paid in 2005 when new. The problem for a buyer is that these sales can easily take 5 months to close. Your house would sell at a premium because you could close a sale in 3 weeks to a buyer who needs a home now.
Go to the nearest new home subdivision and introduce yourself to the agent in the model home. Tell her that you will pay her if she refers any buyers to you. She will know which buyers want something that her builder is not offering. She knows that most buyers who walk away from her homes can not wait the 8 months for a new home to be built.

I have not received violation notices on two Qs on this subject. Do they really not want the US public to know about this trend of dollar rich Chinese and Arab oil moguls buying property in the US?

PS …they are buying houses from $500,000 and up. You can get a green card for that with a new program that gives an automatic green card to a buyer of big estates… The program allows for 10,000 new immigrants…starting in Florida.

google it.

In the year 1900, over 25% of the American economy was owned by foreigners. British financiers put up the money to build the transcontinental railroad, developed its steel and coal industries. I could go on and on. In the absense of foreign investment, America would have remained a backward nation. So what if the money was foreign; the fact that it was invested in America made America great.

The best thing America can do is to encourage foreign investment in America. It gives foreigners a vested interest in maintaining the economy, and it brings back dollars to the US thus easing the balance of trade.

Consider that Mercedes Benz Corporation built a large factory in Vance, Alabama. That company produces (directly and indirectly) about 50,000 jobs in the area. Do you think it matters one whit to the people of Alabama who owns the corporation? It brings jobs to Alabama; and that’s all they care about.

It doesn’t matter who owns the investment, it matters where the investment is located. So the Japanese bought Rockefeller Center — who cares — it’s not like they’re going to ship it back to Japan. That’s Japanese money coming to America.

I say send jets to bring in the Chinese millionaires and have them buy anything they want. It’s good for the economy.

Need to know about the market trends and the contemporary issues pertaining to the Real Estate segment of US. Thanks for your help in advance.

I am looking forward to buy property in Hyderabad, hence want to collect some real estate market information.

Hyderabad is a potential real estate market with a range of property investment opportunities. Builders and developers in India have noticed Hyderabad as a major Real Estate ground. Being a major IT hub of India, Hyderabad is witnessing emergence of numerous integrated townships, corporate office complexes, IT Parks, Business Technology Parks, shopping and leisure zones etc. There are many ventures in Hyderabad but only few of them are successful.

SMR Holdings Pvt Ltd is a good real estate developer firm in Hyderabad and Bangalore. They have many completed and upcoming projects with quality construction. SMR Holdings is a very successful group in South India for commercial and residential development.

Why is the real estate tax higher? Why do I have to pay Real Estate tax? I’m inheriting my grandmothers house. Is there any reason why I can’t pay regular tax? What are the laws about this in Manatee county, FL? Sources?

What are you talking about?
Each county assesses property taxes based on the value of the property, if that’s what you mean by real estate taxes.
What could you possibly be referring to when you say regular tax?
Do a little research; if you are inheriting this house, there must be an executor of the estate who can explain it to you.

well I’m searching for a new home and every real estate website contains the same home. who do I contact if I want to view a home? Does the home have a specific Real Estate company or is every company able to have it?

they are the same because most advertise homes on the Multiple Listing Association of your community. Any Realtor can sell any house and can also arrange for you to view the homes. It is easier for you to choose a good realtor in your community to work with exclusively. Then they will take all the information about what kind of home you want, what neighborhood, etc and give you the listings so you can drive by and decide if you want to look at it. They will also draw up the contract for you and present it to the Selling Realtor if the house is not one of their listings.

If you choose a realtor but happen to go to an Open House on a weekend by yourself, do not be tempted to let the Realtor who is throwing the open house to steal your business. These realtors will tell you "If you love this house, you better let me draw up the contract right now or you could lose the house". This is unethical and often practice. Just tell them "No, I have my own realtor and I will call them and let them know I want to put in a bid". That is ethical.

Many realtors spend hours helping people find homes and there is nothing more frustrating than people screwing them over on a moments notice by giving the sale to a slick salesperson.

My specifics are:

600,000 (and under, lower the better =)

Basement rancher (1 story home w/ basement)
““““`
Large Unfinished Basement or a workshop

2 kitchen

4+ bedrooms,
3.5+ bath

walk in shower (at least one)

walk in closets

no more than 10 years old

brick or stone

Near Cedar Bluff (In Knoxville)

Hardwood floors

Easy to maintain yard (smaller, (not tiny) but not acres and acres of land)

Not lower than street

Fireplace/s

Bonus room, office, or study

and preferably, a separate area on or off house for guests (or 20 something aged child) but within the same bedroom number limit

also, a porch, sunroom, screenedin porch, glass room, patio, or such would be nice
__________-

All these things (unless I said preferred) are necessary

so is there anyway (site?) I can search specifically for these criteria?

I would prefer Australian information but anywhere will do. I am after information (prefer a graph) on the average house prices in a country have risen and fallen over the past 100+ years.

Any recommendations would be great!

This will get you started with the US. Looks like Australia has been doing a census since 1901.
