Previous owner didn't disclose high noise level. Can I sue?

During your inspection contingency period, take a nighttime drive around the neighborhood of the home you are buying.

If you determine the property is in a noisy area, you may want to consider backing out of the deal using your inspection contingency.

Don't wait to see if there is a lot of noise after you close escrow... it will be too late.

Episode 35 of The #AskDanielLosAngeles Show

On this episode, I answer the following four real estate questions:

1) Can I sue the previous homeowner if the neighborhood where the home is located in turns out to be very noisy?

2) The buyers for my home want to move in before we close escrow. Should we let them?

3) I need to drill a couple of holes to install a security camera outside my condo door. Do I need to have that approved by the HOA?

4) Is doing a final walk through a requirement?

3% of sellers have recently canceled their listing

I'm not seeing a panic with home sellers over the #coronavirus.

Only 3% of sellers nationwide have decided to remove their home from the market and cancel their listing.

I bet most of these homeowners that canceled decided to refi at historic lows rather than sell.

I'm sure some canceled over corona fears.

I would assume that during regular times, cancellations hover around the 1% - 2% range. Inventory of for-sale homes is still low, but over the next few weeks, you can take advantage of lower buyer competition over corona fears.

Housing inventory has gone down 21.8% in LA

Over the last 12 months, housing inventory has gone down 21.8% in the Los Angeles area.

That means there are a lot fewer homes for sale now then there was a year ago.

I expect this trend to continue because low-interest rates will cause there to be an even stronger than usual buyer demand this #Spring.

P.M.I.

It's not the end of the world if you have to get P.M.I., but it should be avoided if possible.

If you can put at least 20% down when buying a home.

By doing so the lender won't require you to get P.M.I.
