Should You Make Those Repairs Before Selling Your Home? Just how much should you invest in repairs to sell your home? It comes down to how desperate you are to sell and what changes are needed. Significant structural problems or major electrical or plumbing repairs must be disclosed to potential buyers. If you are unaware of these problems and they are discovered during the home inspection, they will have to be fixed at your expense or you'll have to hand over an equivalent amount to allow the buyers to fix them themselves. So if you are aware of significant repairs that need to be made, why not avoid the hassles and fix them before the "for sale" sign goes up? For less significant changes, you can make repairs. But be aware you won't necessarily recoup your investment. Don't overspend. Many an unwary homeowner has made changes that effectively price him or her out of the neighborhood, meaning it's become a good house in a poor neighborhood. Buyers looking in the area may not be prepared to pay for state-of-the art windows or a slate roof. They may be impressed, however, by an uncluttered home with a fresh coat of paint. Alternatively, you can decide not to make changes, betting that your proximity to transit or a deck with a hot tub will sell your house despite its flaws. If this sounds good, be prepared to wait for a buyer who wants a fixer-upper. And be aware that in its current condition, your house won't go for top dollar - even to do-it-yourselfers.
Serve Up Some Gratitude This Thanksgiving
Trying Turducken This Holiday? If you're looking for something different to serve this Thanksgiving, perhaps a little turducken may be in order.Turducken was popularized by NFL analyst and announcer John Madden during a nationally televised football game. It is a variation of a dish that was served by wenches in 18th-century England. But now, the deboned chicken stuffed into a deboned duck stuffed into a deboned turkey with bread stuffing in between has achieved fame. It generated more than 700,000 results in a search on Google in September. With plans for Thanksgiving celebrations now under way, it might soon double that. For all the information flying around about turducken, not many people admit to liking it. But it is, many agree, a showy way to celebrate the holiday. Perhaps turducken should enjoy fame while it can. A goose-based variation, called gooducken, may not be far behind. Gooducken, of course, is a goose stuffed with a duck, which, in turn, is stuffed with a chicken.

When buying a lender-owned property, though, you need to be especially savvy to come up with an offer that will satisfy the beneficiary bank or agency. First, be aware that lenders are anxious to sell what is now a nonperforming asset. They also don't want to lose much on the deal. That means you'll have to submit a particularly well-thought-out offer on a real-estate-owned home. Following are strategies to consider:
Even if it is your dream home, don't get emotional. View your offer on a "bargain" home as a transaction. Save the self-congratulations for closing.
