Real Estate with Chris Alston Chris Alston

This episode we explore why inventory is sow low.  Along with why prices continue to rise, even when you hear that sales are down.  From low inventory, to higher interest rates, to a lack of new home building to buyer demand.  Join us for a great discussing on these subjects.

Thinking of buying a condo? A flat? An apartment?  We dive into what they are, and what to look out for when considering them.

There are several easy, but necessary steps to get your home ready to sell this spring.  From the obvious, to some of the ones we might not realize make a big difference when wanting to get top dollar.

Spring is here, and are you ready to buy or sell?  We are talking about mortgage rates, home prices, inventory and what will all of this do to home prices in the spring.

With so many multiple offers on so many listings, buyers are trying all sorts of ways to get their contracts accepted. Today, we talk about escalation clauses... Or, "My offer will be 5K higher than the highest offer" type options.  Many have tried no contingencies, or waiving appraisals, so this seems to be the next thing we are hearing about.

Today we talk about appraisals and inspections.  What is the difference, and what do we order them for?  Are they ordered before you get into contract, after, or not at all?
