Tips on remodeling to sell
Q: We are planning to sell our home next year. We tried the easiest route to brighten up the kitchen: Painting the dark wood cabinets a lighter color, as we have a faux wood laminate countertop.

THE LOCAL HOUSING MARKET JULY 2010
It's difficult to find much encouraging news this month. For those first time buyers who were unable to close by June 30th, the federal government stepped in at the 11th hour to extend the closing deadline to September 30th. This only affects buyers who were under contract by April 30th but unable to close on time.

Appraisal rules tough on additions
Recently a homeowner in the hills above Oakland, Calif., applied for a refinance. An appraiser visited the property and measured both levels of the house. The appraiser called the homeowner a few days later to find out if the lower level had been added with a permit. The public record indicated the house had three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 1,513-square feet.

What are Closing Costs and Prepaids?
Closing costs may vary dramatically from one lender to another and from one loan program and another. Your lender should present you with a "Good Faith Estimate" of your closing costs. Depending on the time of the month you close, this should be close to your actual costs at closing. If you do not understand the costs, it is your right and your responsibility to ask your lender to explain.
In Georgia, the Seller is expected to pay for the following:
