Are tiny houses allowed in Hot Springs Village?

Chris: I doubt it. Square footage requirements are determined for every neighborhood area in the Village, and requirements vary according to location.

How Much are Closing Costs When I Sell My Home in Iowa City?

Below is a list of the closing costs you can expect when you sell your house (or condo) in Iowa City. For the purpose of this post I’m going with the sales price of $200,000. (Although many of the costs will be the same, regardless of the price of the home). As a rule of thumb, one year’s real estate taxes is a safe estimate. (It could be a little more, or a little less. Johnson County Taxes are calculated one year in arrears so if you figure on one year’s taxes at closing this is a good estimate).

Estimated Closing Costs when you Sell a Home in the Iowa City Area

Real Estate Commission (5 %) $10,000

(Estimate for 1 year real estate taxes, the amount varies by school district)

Find the best real estate agents. Free service. Personal recommendations.

(Estimate of fee to attorney for updating the abstract)

(Fee to attorney for the Warranty Deed and other documents required in the transfer of property)

(Fee to attorney for preparing the closing numbers for the HUD-1 Settlement Statement)

Overnight Mailing Fee or Bank Transfer $20 – $25

(Fee for sending the mortgage pay-off to your bank).

Remember, these are estimates and don’t include any mortgage pay-offs, included are only the costs associated with selling your house in the Iowa City area. Quick disclosure: These numbers are purely informational and need to be verified with a professional before making any major financial decisions. Some brokerages may have some additional fees. Other attorneys may also have additional fees.

How does it work, Help to Buy

How does it work?

With a Help to Buy: Equity Loan the Government lends you up to 20% of the cost of your newly built home, so you’ll only need a 5% cash deposit and a 75% mortgage to make up the rest.

You won’t be charged loan fees on the 20% loan for the first five years of owning your home.

Find the best real estate agents. Free service. Personal recommendations.

Example: for a home with a £200,000 price tag

If the home in the example above sold for £210,000, you’d get £168,000 (80%, from your mortgage and the cash deposit) and you’d pay back £42,000 on the loan (20%). You’d need to pay off your mortgage with your share of the money.

For more information (including advice on fees and paying back your loan) please download our Help to Buy Buyers’ Guide (PDF).

London Help to Buy

To reflect the current property prices in London, from February 2016 the Government is increasing the upper limit for the equity loan it gives new home-buyers within Greater London from 20% to 40%.

FAQ, Help to Buy

Equity Loan: FAQ

Can I buy a home off plan?

Can I buy with an interest-only main mortgage?

Can I part exchange my existing home for a Help to Buy home?

Will I have to pay Stamp Duty?

The Government’s standard rules and procedures for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) apply to all Help to Buy purchases.

SDLT is payable at the time of purchase, on the full purchase price of the home. That is, the amount paid by you (the first mortgage and any cash contribution) plus the value of the Help to Buy loan.

There is no further SDLT to pay on any ‘staircasing’ repayments or repayment when the home is sold.

Find the best real estate agents. Free service. Personal recommendations.

You should budget for SDLT on the full open market price of the property when you purchase a Help to Buy home.

Who pays for repairs and ongoing maintenance to my home?

Who provides the Government’s contribution for Help to Buy?

How long will it take before I can move in?

Because Help to Buy: equity loan homes are generally on new developments (and may still be under construction), in common with most new home sales, you will normally be expected to arrange a mortgage and exchange contracts within one month of paying your reservation fee.

Your moving in date may depend on the time required to complete construction work – this will vary from scheme to scheme. Some Help to Buy applicants may need to wait for a longer period of time for a home that matches very specific needs whereas others may buy from a development that allows you to move in earlier.

What happens if the completion of my home is delayed?

Are there any restrictions on the properties that I can purchase?

Can I sublet my Help to Buy home?

Can I own other homes and buy a Help to Buy home?

Can I own a Help to Buy home and buy a second home?

No. If you can afford to purchase another home you will have to repay the Help to Buy: Equity Loan.

The property purchased must be your only residence. Help to Buy is not available to assist buy-to-let investors or those who will own any property other than their Help to Buy property after completing their purchase.

You cannot rent out your existing home and buy a second home through Help to Buy.

Applicants who make fraudulent claims for Help to Buy assistance will be liable to criminal prosecution. Fraudulent claims will always require immediate repayment of the equity loan.

Can I use cash from my council, Housing Association or other public sector body to buy with the addition of help through Help to Buy?

After purchasing my home, can I increase my mortgage or take out another loan?

Not without permission from the Post Sales Help to Buy Agent. Further advances must be approved by the Post Sales Help to Buy Agent.

Advances to be used for repaying the equity loans in part (staircasing) or full will usually be welcomed and approved. Advances for other purposes will be considered by the Post Sales Help to Buy Agent on a case by case basis (see question below regarding extending or altering the property).

You may be able to transfer your mortgage to another lender taking part in the scheme following scheme following prior permission from the Post Sales Help to Buy Agent. However, you must ensure your new lender is informed that your home is a Help to Buy property with a second charge entitling the Homes and Communities Agency to a share of the future sale proceeds. You should note that not all lenders will accept a remortgage where there is already an equity loan in place.

The Post Sales Help to Buy Agent may decline permission for further advances or transfer to another lender if after assessment they consider you may be putting yourself in an unsustainable financial position.

Can I extend or alter the property?

Not without permission. Because Help to Buy is designed to help people move on to or up the housing ladder, you should consider repaying part or all of the Homes and Communities Agency’s contribution before making plans for improvements or alterations. This is because the Agency is seeking to help future aspiring buyers and may use the proceeds of these repayments to make more assistance available. Therefore, consent will not usually be granted for significant home improvements. The Post Sales Help to Buy Agent will act reasonably in considering any application and will review cases of hardship if, for example, property modifications are required for a disability.

When your property is sold in the future, if improvements have been made with the approval of the Post Sales Help to Buy Agent, these will be ignored when your property is valued to work out how much should be repaid to the Agency.

After five years of ownership how is the fee collected?

Fees can be paid in a single yearly payment or in monthly instalments.

The Post Sales Help to Buy Agent will collect your fee by direct debit or standing order. They will contact you at least a month before your fees are due, to set up your repayment arrangement. If you do not pay by Direct Debit, you will pay an additional administration charge (currently £4 per month).

You will also receive a statement each year confirming when your fees are payable. The annual statement will also show any payments you have made once you start paying the fee.

What if I die after purchasing a Help to Buy home?

This depends on whether you bought your home alone or with others.

If you bought the house/flat on your own and you die, the home will be passed on in the normal way under the terms of your will and the payments explained in this guide will be made by your estate in accordance with the scheme. If you have not made a will it will pass under the laws of intestacy.

It is recommended that a sole buyer seeks independent legal advice about this.

If you bought your home with others and one of them dies, their interest in the property will either be transferred to the surviving co-owner (s) or will pass under the terms of their will, or (if there is no will) the laws of intestacy.

It is recommended that where there are two or more owners, they seek independent legal advice about this.

Can I get help with benefits to pay the Help to Buy fees if, for example, I lose my job?

What happens if my partner moves out and no longer wants to be party to the equity loan agreement?

Should Buyers Sign Exclusive Agreements With an Agent?

A buyer's agreement can help, but be savvy before you sign an agent

Ask any buyer's agent who has been practicing real estate for a while, and you'll hear sad stories from those agents who wished they had signed a buyer to a buyer's broker agreement. That's because when the buyer finally decided to make an offer, the buyer wrote an offer with a different agent. In defense of buyers, however, it's rarely the buyer's fault. It's the agent's fault for not explaining how the business works.

An agent typically works with a buyer for a few weeks to several months or longer. This effort includes:

Find the best real estate agents. Free service. Personal recommendations.

• Introducing the buyer to lenders and obtaining loan preapproval letters


• Emailing listings that fit the buyer's requirements


• Calling listing agents to determine availability


• Making appointments with sellers before they show homes


• Driving the buyer from one neighborhood to the next, sometimes touring up to 10 homes a day


• Showing potential homes to buyers


• Researching comparable sales for buyers

Then one day the buyer calls, in breathless excitement, to announce that he and his wife drove by a new subdivision, stopped to look at a model home and signed a contract to buy a new home from the builder. Sometimes a buyer adds, "Isn't that fabulous?" Sure, for the buyer, but it's not fabulous from the agent's perspective.

Buyer's Agents Expect Compensation

Just as listing agents sign formal listing agreements with sellers, buying agents expect formal agreements, too.

Like listing agreements, buyer's broker agreements are typically bilateral, spelling out the rights and duties of both parties. Because bilateral contracts are essentially a promise in exchange for a promise, if the agent doesn't perform, the buyer may have the right to fire the agent.

Finding a Buyer's Agent

Many buyers are referred by family, friends or co-workers to a buyer's agent.

A referral is the best way to find an agent. However, buyers who are relocating to a new area rarely have the luxury of building contacts quickly enough to trust a referral source. Alternatives buyers can use to find an agent are:

By finding online listings of homes for sale, a buyer can quickly figure out which agents in certain neighborhoods list most of the homes. But that would mean those agents are likely to specialize in seller representation and not buyer representation. Instead, run keyword searches such as "downtown Denver buyer's agent" from a search engine. You can also search websites where agents maintain national profiles such as Realtor.com or Active Rain, in addition to finding exclusive buyer brokerages that specialize solely in buyer representation and do not take listings at all.

An agent hosting an open house may or may not be the listing agent. You should ask. Open houses provide an excellent opportunity to interact with agents and find out more about them. If an agent appears knowledgeable and your personalities mesh, ask for a business card. Then later, look up the agent's website for more information.

Should You Sign an Exclusive Agreement?

Little turns off buyers faster than an agent they've looked up online who emails a buyer's broker agreement before they meet in person.

Most buyers need to feel comfortable with an agent before signing. Just as a buyer's agent should want to feel that a good match is made with the buyer.

Interviewing a real estate agent can help to ease a buyer's uncertainty. But many buyers are leery of signing agreements because they are concerned that the relationship might not work out. They don't want to be stuck with a crummy agent, and that's understandable. Here are a few precautions you can take to relieve that anxiety:

The term of a buyer's broker agreement is negotiable. Although many agents might request a 90-day commitment at a minimum, you are free to ask for a 24-hour, seven-day or 30-day term; it's whatever you can negotiate.

These agreements provide compensation to the agent if you switch agents midstream but end up buying a home introduced to you by the first agent. It protects the agent by establishing a procuring cause. But you are free to pursue any other homes with another agent.

• Compromise

You can tell the agent that you prefer to spend a little time getting to know her before signing an exclusive buyer's broker agreement. It's reasonable to say, "Let's spend an afternoon looking at homes, and if I think we can work together, I'll sign an agreement with you before we go out again." I would caution against working with an agent who is too eager to work with you before she has interviewed you, as well.

Most contracts contain a description of the property. If you are undecided about areas, you might want to specify the terms and area in the contract, which will allow you to work with other agents in other areas or at different terms. For example, you might specify a price range or a neighborhood. If you later decide you don't want to buy a home in that price range or in that neighborhood, you can choose a different agent to show you homes in another price range or new area.

I give my clients a guarantee. Many agents will accommodate that request if you ask. That means it's a two-way street. I guarantee buyers that if either of us decides that the relationship isn't working out or our personalities clash, I will release them from the agreement, and they can do likewise. That way you're not cemented to a business arrangement if the agent is too pushy, argumentative or stubborn, and I'm not just talking about myself.

Realize the Agreement is with the Broker. Real Estate agreements are made between the broker and the client, not the agent and the client.

If you are unhappy with the agent you have selected, you can generally go to the broker and ask for a replacement.

Selling an Iowa Home: What Are My Disclosure Obligations?

Guidance for home sellers in Iowa regarding that state's law on disclosures to buyers about the home's condition.

For most Iowans, a home is their single most expensive asset. If you are selling your home, you know that the process can be long and difficult. Legislators in Des Moines have made your life a little bit more challenging through an additional requirement: mandatory disclosure of defects. In Iowa, like in many states, sellers are required to reveal various problems that could affect the property’s value or condition. For example, a seller cannot fraudulently conceal major physical defects, such as a leaking basement or termite infestation. If you’re selling your Iowa home, what must you disclose, and when?

Disclosure Law in Iowa for Home Sales

The legal basis for this disclosure requirement is Iowa Code § 558A, which broadly covers disclosure statements. The law states that you, as the seller, “shall deliver a written disclosure statement to a person interested in being transferred the real property… prior to… a written offer for the transfer of the real property….”

The law further requires that the disclosure be sent to the potential buyer either by personal delivery or by certified or registered mail. If you fail to give the potential buyer the disclosure before a formal offer is made, the buyer “may withdraw the offer or revoke the acceptance without liability” within three days following personal delivery of the statement or five days following delivery by mail. As the seller, you also have the obligation to file the disclosure with the county recorder or clerk--a requirement fairly unique to Iowa.

Find the best real estate agents. Free service. Personal recommendations.

Note that the disclosures, obviously, cannot be oral. You are required under this statute to deliver a written disclosure form and file it.

Iowa’s law also requires that all information in your disclosure be made in good faith: “All information required by this section… shall be disclosed in good faith… [and the] disclosure statement shall be amended, if information disclosed in the statement is or becomes inaccurate or misleading….” This requirement signifies the legislature's intent to prevent sellers from engaging in unscrupulous conduct or misstatements. This means that you should not, for example, use sneaky wording to cover up the existence of a defect. These sorts of tactics could expose you to liability if and when the buyer later discovers them.

What Issues or Defects Does the Iowa Disclosure Form Cover?

The Iowa Department of Licensing and Regulation has created a standard disclosure form—six pages long—that you, as a home seller, must fill out. You’ll see that you must certify that the information presented is accurate as of the date of the form, and that the buyer must also sign the form (as proof that he or she actually received it).

In 19 questions, the disclosure form asks you to state “all known conditions materially affecting the property.” The form takes you through different areas of the home, such as the roof, basement, sewer system, and so on, and asks you to state “Yes” or “No” whether you are aware of any problems. You are also asked about the presence of certain environmental hazards, like radon and asbestos.

The form also encourages you to attach additional information or pages, should you need to explain any responses in more detail. This can be useful if you want to alert potential buyers to a known defect (and thus comply with the statute), but then note that the defect is relatively minor (and thus reassure the buyer).

Why Should You Be Thorough and Honest In Making Disclosures?

Any seller has a natural incentive to say only good things about the property he or she is selling. But be careful; lying or concealing issues on your disclosure form can lead to trouble down the road.

Remember, the Iowa statute requires you to disclose “material” problems concerning your home. It is highly likely that the buyer will, eventually, discover a “material” problem. The Iowa statute specifically provides for liability against sellers who make misrepresentations on their disclosure forms: “A person who violates this chapter shall be liable to a transferee for the amount of actual damages suffered by the transferee….”

For example, if there is a hole in your roof, a termite infestation, or a busted heating system, it will not take long for the buyer to find it once he or she moves into the home. Once the defect is discovered, it is very possible that the buyer might pursue legal action against you to recover the cost of repair, given the language of the statute. The “good faith” requirement in the Iowa disclosure statute makes this especially likely.

Having said this, you do not need to perform an exhaustive inspection of your home before submitting your disclosure. The disclosure form requires that you “provide information in good faith and make a reasonable effort to ascertain the required information.” Reasonable effort does not mean any extraordinary or costly efforts. In Iowa, you are required to disclose only problems that you knew about when making the disclosure. You are not required to hire inspectors to check every last inch of the home for defects. Indeed, if you only lived in the home for a short amount of time, it is perfectly plausible that you simply would not know every issue with the house.

Do need to sell your Fayetteville, Arkansas home fast?

• Have you moved without selling your former home in Arkansas?

• Are you behind on your mortgage payments, facing bankruptcy or foreclosure?

• Are you tired of being a landlord and dealing with bad tenants


• Are you making 2 house payments and need immediate debt relief?


• Are you selling your Fayetteville home due to a divorce, extended illness, job loss or the death of a loved one?

These are common home selling problems that can happen to anyone. So what do you do if you find yourself in one of these situations? Wait and wait and wait for a real estate agent to sell your home or try to sell your home yourself for sale by owner?

Are you thinking of hiring a real estate agent to sell your Fayetteville house fast?

Selling a house is usually a expensive and complicated process. That's why real estate agents make such big commissions (often thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars) on a single house sale. And most successful agents in Fayetteville usually have 5, 20 or 20 homes listed at any given time knowing that these houses will probably sell within the next 3 to 6 months or longer. Since most of the good agents have so many listings, it's rare that they will spend the time, money and personal attention needed to sell your Fayetteville home quickly. If you don't have much equity in your house, your home selling options are even more limited. You may have to write a big check at closing in order to sell your Fayetteville home and cover any negative equity, closing costs, taxes, etc in addition to your agent's large commission check.

Are you thinking of selling your Fayetteville home on your own for sale by owner to save money?

If so, you probably know that trying to sell your Fayetteville, Arkansas home on your own can be a costly, verifiable nightmare. You know what it's like to have to keep your house cleaned up, month after month, ready to show it at any given time to perfect strangers who probably aren't qualified to buy your home anyway. In the meantime, you have to continue to make your mortgage payments, pay your taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, home owner dues and other costs while you wait and wait and wait to sell your home. If you do find a buyer who is interested in purchasing your house, don't forget that it takes another 45 to 60 days on average for them to get financed. And what if their financing falls through? After all, many Fayetteville buyers can no longer get financed, especially in today's tough economic times and troubled mortgage marketplace. If this happens, you'll have to start the whole process all over again which is not uncommon.

Why Isn t My Home Selling? Why Homes Don t Sell

Why Isn't My Home Selling?

How Do I Sell My Home?

The bulk of mail I receive from unhappy readers asks for tips on selling a home and they want to know why their home is not selling. Many have had their home on the market for months without a showing. Some home sellers have had dozens of buyer previews but not one purchase offer.

In buyer's markets, it is especially important to pull out all the stops and make your home stand out among the sea of inventory on the market.

Find the best real estate agents. Free service. Personal recommendations.

Ask yourself: why a buyer would choose your home over all the other homes for sale? The answer is the way you market it.

Poor Condition of Your Home

Check out your competition. If 90% of the homes in your market are not selling, then your home needs to outshine the top 10%. Look at the homes that are pending sales because that's your current indicator. Sold comps could be two to three months in arrears of market movement. If you want to know what is happening right now, the pending sale data will tell you which homes are selling.

Apart from preparing your home for sale, consider its condition. Perhaps you should consider adding updates or doing repairs before selling. If the top 10% on the market have new carpeting and your carpeting is worn and dated, your home is not going to sell. Replace the carpet. But ask your agent first because 9 times out of 10, today's buyers prefer wood or wood-like laminate over carpet.

The best real estate agents. Find them at Referz.com.

Paint the walls neutral -- not white. Check its curb appeal.

Not Enough Photographs or Badly Shot Photographs

Homes in MLS that have one photo are passed by. Homes with dozens of photographs get noticed. Take quality photos or, for optimum marketing, hire a professional photographer. Shoot wide angles with plenty of light showcasing your home's best features.

For goodness sake, keep the toilet lid closed.

• Don't just shoot the master bedroom or largest bedroom. Try to capture them all because buyers will count the number of bedrooms in the photo lineup. If one is missing, they might incorrectly assume your number of bedrooms is fewer.

You Haven't Paid For Extensive Marketing and Advertising

No single aspect of marketing sells a home. It's a combination of marketing efforts. If your online media outlet makes a mistake and lists your home under the wrong section, don't panic -- homes have sold to buyers who found them in the wrong place. For that reason, consider placing an ad under several classifications.

• Print four-color postcards and mail them to surrounding homes in the neighborhood and to out-of-area buyers.

You Hired the Wrong Listing Agent

You want to work with an agent who is competent, experienced and honest.

Ready to start building wealth? Sign up today to learn how to save for an early retirement, tackle your debt, and grow your net worth.

There are a variety of ways to find an agent but the easiest way is through referrals from friends and family.

If you desire full-service and want an agent to spend tons of money on the listing, hire a full service brokerage and interview several agents. To find the best listing agent, don't base your decision solely on the suggested sales price or how much the agent charges you because there are other considerations. Discuss home pricing and commission negotiations last. First, find out the agent's strategic marketing plan.

Some discount agents don't invest a lot of time and effort into marketing, especially if they are paid a salary. Experienced agents will be your best bet. You can trust experience. Search for experience in an agent not only by an agent who has been in the business for many years, but also an agent who has sold a lot of homes. There is a world of difference between an agent who sells 12 homes a year and an agent who sells 100.

You Haven't Priced Your Home to Sell

Sellers say, "But I don't want to give away my house." Of course, not. You want to sell it. To sell your home, the price must be right. Don't "test" the market or ask an inflated figure because if you do, your home will probably sit on the market and the DOM will continue to tick. Dated listings (homes that have been on the market too long) don't generally sell for list price.

To avoid overpricing your home, examine the sold comparable sales. Adjust for square footage, if necessary. If your home has a bad layout or is located in bad location such as next to a school, on or near a busy street or bordering a liquor store, you're not going to get the same price as homes with a good layout and in a good location.

For example, if the last three homes sold at $400,000 but you feel they are not comparable to yours because they don't contain updates -- but they were located on a quiet street and your street is noisy -- your home is probably worth about the same. A plus-$50,000 adjustment for the updates could wash out the minus-$50,000 for the busy street.

In a buyer's market, price your home a minimum of a percent less than the last comparable sale. If you can't live with that price, then don't put your home on the market and set yourself up for disappointment. Overpricing is the worst mistake a home seller can make.
