and Real Estate Advice

October 2024 Newsletter from Modern Nest Group

Have you ever wondered whether or not you should buy or sell your home in the Fall, rather than wait until the Spring? If so, keep reading to learn about the benefits of selling in the Fall vs. the Spring.

• Smaller Buyer Pool: competition in the Fall is lower than it is during the bustling Spring market.

• Sellers are Motivated: You'll have more buying power, room for negotiation, and flexibility with dates in the Fall, since a lot of Sellers are eager to close a deal before the holidays.

• Tax Breaks: Property tax and mortgage interest are both deductions you can tale for your whole year's worth of income, even if you close on your home in December.

• Savings: Pay less for moving companies and take advantage of holiday sales to purchase furnishings for your home.

• Fall Beauty: Homes show beautifully among the fall foliage and glistening sunshine.

When the owner of a condominium sells their unit, they must provide the buyer with a “6(d) Certificate” issued by the condominium association. Required by MA Law, this document is a “statement from the organization of unit owners setting forth the amount of unpaid common expenses and any other sums which have been assessed against a unit owner, including a statement of the amount which the organization of unit owners claims is entitled to priority with respect to any mortgage …[and] shall operate to discharge the unit from any lien for other sums then unpaid when recorded in the appropriate registry of deeds.” 

Receipt of this document ensures the seller paid any outstanding amounts due and the buyer is taking ownership with a “clean slate,” unless otherwise agreed between the parties.
