Stone County Missouri Real Estate Market Report for July 2009 for Table Rock Lake area.

According to the local MLS statistics, single family homes sales in Stone, County last month total was 32 single family homes with the highest priced one selling for $930,203 and the lowest priced one sold for $40,000. That was a huge increase in sales both in number of homes and prices of homes sold. This shows there were less short-sales and foreclosure home sales and more owner-occupied single family home re-sales. Good news indeed for the Stone County and Table Rock Lake area Real Estate Market.

Sellers can disclose TMI when their house is being sold.

Just a week ago I got a call from my clients who were moving into their new home and wanted to share a surprise they had discovered in their new home. They were cleaning out the drawers in the bathroom and discovered the previous owners explicit photos of themselves, left there accidentally they assumed.

Home sweet home.

I asked what they were going to do with them and they replied they were going to send them to the seller's agent so they could be forwarded on to the ones they belonged to, as they sure did not want them. After an embarrassed seller's Agent got them I am sure he had to make a decision he had never made before, contact the previous owners or just burn them.

Home Sweet Home

After much consideration, I imagine he will do the right thing, he is a very wise Broker. Once I am sure he has recovered from the shock and stigma of what he has had to deal with, would love to ask him what he did but I am sure glad I was not in his shoes.
