Help please?! The houses in our street have sold in the last year for about 175-200k. The 198k one was apparently in tip top repair. The house I’m selling does need modernisation but is basically a good house. The USP is the garden. It is end of terrace and has a garden approx 3 times size of all the other properties in the street. One Agent valued it at 215k. He said the garden was the asset. The other valued it at 185k and said the garden was a good selling point but had no intrinsic value! Agent 1 wants to WOW me with a high figure. Agent 2 works on a flat fee NOT a percentage. So they both have reason to go high (to Wow) and lolw (for quick sale). I have an interested buyer privately. My question is…what’s it really worth? COuld agent 1 be telling the truth? Maybe the garden really does load a premium? So …..can anyone tell me…Does the garden make a lot of difference to the price? Any Estate Agents help me to understand this pickle please? Obviously another valuation!

strating right now. have it go down, or flat and never go up in value ever again?

real estate has cycles. i believe in 5-20 years from now, in the long term real estate WILL go up and the next boom will be bigger then the boom in the early 2000’s. history shows real estate has cycles, and that every boom was bigger than the last one.

for califonia. prices might be inflates, and will correct it self, and will probly go down for a while. but in the long term I feel it will go back up and up a lot. it may not go as fast as it has in the past, but i feel it will, BUT everyone doesnt explain it like that. the way other people talk they act like real estate will NEVER go up. ? that makes no since.

if you somehow owned 2 houses in califronia right now that are worth 500,000, and you got it for for free with no mortgage, would you count on them going up in value in the long term? within 5-20 years selling them for 800,000 or more?

So I have been having a lot of problems with my parents. They seem to think that whenever we are all together they can take over the raising of the kids. We have gotten into numerous fights about this. Now the recent fight was they paid for our house flat out since me and my hubby’s credit is in the toilet. We have been paying them off every month. We have been renovating to make the house more to our taste (making it a home). Then my mother bring up how she doesn’t like what were doing to HER house. I explained I thought since we were paying her off its our house, but I guess it doesn’t work that way in her mind. So me and my hubby have decided to move back out to Ottawa, where we were before moving closer to the kids grandparents (were all his family is and all our friends) Now my mother thinks I’m only doing this to get away from her, which in a way a little distance will help our relationship. But the main reason we are moving back is because both me and my hub are miserable here. This is a very small town so there aren’t much jobs to choose from, so currently he’s a delivery man for a pizza place, and I can’t find a job.
Back in ottawa he already has a job lined up that pays well, my SIL is trying to get me into were she works. My MIL has already offered to watch both kids while we work and there is bus transit there (we only have 1 car) Here there is no other mode of transportation so when Kenny is at work, I’m stuck at home because I’m about 20 mins drive into town.
Do you think were being unreasonable about this? I told my parents that when we move they can sell the house and whatever left over we owe I will still pay monthly.
Thanks ladies, you’ve made me feel much better about my situation. For some reason when it comes to my mother, I still feel like a child. She just has that way with me, and the guilt trips don’t help.
