New Home

Top ten things you don't want to hear from your real estate agent when you go to 'close' on your new home . . . .

"I think unexplained crop circles add a unique flair to any home's garden."


"Actually, it's only the rear portion of the yard that overlaps the ancient Indian burial ground."


"Yes, the last owner did donate the house to the Hell's Angels, but I'm told that the judge has ordered them not to come within 50 feet of it."


"Listen, one bleeding mirror doesn't necessarily mean it's haunted."


"Your neighbor has assured me that, technically, they're not really 'killer' bees."


"Even if there was a full-scale mudslide, it's unlikely that it would reach as far back as your property."


"I read that it's quite common for roaches to grow that big even when not in the presence of radioactivity."


"Did you know that the famous punk band "Grave Robber" holds their practice sessions right next door?"


"Yes it's true that they died in the house, but the prosecutor was never actually been able to prove it was murder."


"Don't worry, you can barely hear the sheet metal factory at night."

Just bought a new home, the only one on a newly constructed side street off of a main road. I tried to do an address change online, but the new address isn't being recognized by US Postal Service system. The builder listed the house under this new address, so why doesn'tt the postal service recognize it and is there anything I can do to make this address exist for the postal service? The mail carrier that comes by here doesn't know what I need to do.

I would say that your new address is not yet in the address system for the Post Office, especially since you say that it is a new street and the first house on it. Talk to your local PO and ask them to add your street and number range. It shouldn't take too many days for address management to get it added to the carriers scheme and then the system will recognize the new address.

I purchased a new home in 2007. Can I claim the taxes I paid on my home at the time of purchase on my income tax forms (federal and state)? I live in Michigan.

Property Tax will go on Schedule A. Plus, with the purchase of a home, there are several other things you will be able to deduct. However, this will involve some detail. File the extension right now, and consult a CPA.

When my wife and I got married 9 months ago we each owned separate property. The home I own is in the process of foreclosure. My wife is currently in escrow to purchase a new home. However, since we live in California, a community property state, both of our names will be listed on the title of the new home (even though the loan is only in her name). If my home (that I purchased prior to marriage) goes into foreclosure, can the bank come after the house my wife is purchasing?

In California, generally speaking a foreclosure is not subject to a delinquency judgment.

Is the foreclosure a Trustee Sale (which there isn't a deficiency judgment) or a judicial foreclosure (where there can be a deficiency judgment)?

In California about 98% of all foreclosures are done by a Trustee Sale.

No matter what, a creditor can't go after any of her own assets because of what you purchased prior to your marriage, however if you and you future wife (married or not) commingle your funds and assets a "judgment creditor" can go after those assets.

I recently saw a flyer from a builder in northern virginia who was willing to sell your old home if you opted to purchase a new home. How does this work? Is there any catch to this?

The builder generally takes possession of your existing home and lists it with a real estate firm for sale. While it is an easy way to dispose of your existing home, the trade value is normally not what you might get on the open market selling it directly.

Generally, the builder will allow himself some slack in the price so that he won't lose money when he finally sells your first home.
