A Halifax MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase.A standard home inspection in Massachusetts is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth.

One home that had been on the market since it was built a year ago sold for more than the asking price because of add-ons. Buyers, with pre-approvals in hand, should be able to find a great and inexpensive home, and have enough time to properly consider all the alternatives and specifics about their new home. 7 single-family homes sold in October 5 were sold in October of 2012 a list with details about each sale appears below The AVERAGE SALES price was $251,000 LISTING price was $245,000 ORIGINAL price was $242,000 ASSESSMENT was $198,000 AGE is 40 years (built in 1973) Average = total prices / number of homes The MEDIAN SALES price was $260,000 LISTING price was $260,000 ORIGINAL price was $260,...

Mortgage Rate Forecast for August 31, 2010 - Improving, or...? Here are some of the events affecting mortgage rates today: What Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) Are Doing Today: The price of the FNMA 30-Year 4.0% MBS coupon opened at 103.25 this morning - the same as yesterday's close. At 9:30 AM, the 4.0% MBS coupon was trading at 103.47 - up 7/32 from its opening. Remember, on mortgage backed securities (MBSs), as the price goes up, the yield comes down - and so do mortgage rates. I expect that mortgage rates will be as much as 0.250 points better in price this morning as compared to yesterday afternoon. Price Trend in Mortgage Backed Securities: The chart below shows the price trend of the FNMA 30-Year 4.0% coupon over the past 30 days from 8-1-2010 to 8-31-2010: Economic Reports, Ne...
