Sale

How will the recent sale of an near abandoned house effect the sale of my house?
Q. This house was just sold for $99k after being vacant 2 years. It could probably go for $190k if it was fixed up; it needs about $60k of work. My house just went on the market Sunday. Will this effect the sale of mine one way or the other? The house is literally across the street.

A. It MAY, unless someone points out the condition of the property which was sold for that price. If an appraiser carelessly uses that property as a comp in an appraisal, it will certainly affect your appraised value. If such a situation arises, be prepared to inform those involved that the house was a major repair job, and that the price is not representative of houses similar to yours.

A. Not sure exactly what is being asked here ~ however, generally speaking after most holidays where there is more purchasing going on before the holiday . . . sales appear after the holiday. as example ~ say, in the USA ~ a local grocery story did NOT sell all of the turkeys they brought in for Thanksgiving celebrations; they likely drop the price after Thanksgiving to get the product out and get their stock numbers back into a normal state. Any situation where a business brings in a special item for sale because of a celebration or holiday would fit the bill. I'm sure you can think of lots of them where you live

Do you have garage sale tips for me?
Q. My friend and I are gonna hold a garage/yard/rummage sale next month for fun and to make a little money. I was wondering if you have any tips for me? I go to these alot with my aunt, but I haven't done my own in a while, since I was a little kid. We were thinking to sell lemonade/water/koolaid and I thought maybe even muffins or cookies for 50 cents, or a bag of cookies for a couple dollars. I'm going to ask my family and a couple of my close friends to give me any stuff they want to get rid of, and I hope my friend will too, so it should be a big variety of stuff. We can figure out how to organize it all, so that's not a big deal, but what are some special fun and unique things we can do that will have people coming by the dozens and buy… [cont.]

A. Saturday is the best day. Best hours from 7:30 am to 3pm. Advertise in the local paper. Or place a free ad on www.craigslist.org . Find the city nearest to you and place an ad under garage sales. (its free) Post on bulletin boards in grocery stores near your house. Start out high on your prices! You can always lower them... Say you want a $1 for an item. Start out at $3... they will offer you .50 cents... you counter offer with $2... they counter with.75... you counter with $1... they buy it. If you really want to get rid of junk take whatever they offer... Advertise as multi-family garage sale...
