Recently at the National Association of Realtors Conference in Orlando Florida, NAR suggested that Realtors cross borders to gain referral dollars from various real estate opportunities Worldwide. I choose a French development company and chateau broker. I was surprised as to what influences the value and desirability of a Chateau to buyers in this very narrow market niche. The obvious is Location Location Location. So for example if you have a chateau in the outlying areas if Paris you will have a very desirable and pricing abode. The less obvious on the list of attributes that can increase values are:

A private Chapel in the Estate

Private Stables

Pigeon house and size

Condition

Unesco protected land

History of region and Estate. The chateau's Provenance, which comes from the French provenir, "to come from", means the origin, or the source, of something, or the history of the ownership If a King or other noble family owned the estate then there is a market for its pedigree blood line.

water and woodland on property for sportsman activities

Almost all chateau offers high level of privacy with either walls of stone or shrubs surrounding the estate with large iron entrance gates. The french government has a No fly zone law so no one can fly over a historic property or chateau without the written permission o the owner.

If you know someone that is currently renting a home or apartment who has a secure job and good credit let them in a few secrets;

If you pay rent in the Amount of $600 per month in 30 years you wull have paid a sstaggering $499,355!!!

If you are paying $1,000 per month in 30 years you will have paid in $823,259! That is figuring that there is no rent increases.

The federal Government is offer a $7,500 tax credit to fist time buyer and now this does not need to re-paid! Many homes located out in the county qualified for Rural housing 100% financing and of course FHA is only 3.5 % down and the seller can pay all of the closing cost.

Educate the young buyer who is renting and explain the benefits. The economy has created one of the best buyers markets ever! The interest rates are low, and the value are at the lowest in many areas that they will go. We have seen areas such as San Diego California sales number begin to escalate, and usually when the market begins to recover and readjust its too late and the window of opportunity is gone.

1Buyers are aware of the lengthy market exposure and usually attribute to overpricing.

2. Merchandising your property is done for results- overpricing reduces the response and ultimate, results

3. Buyers educate themselves with market comparables through various internet sites. If your home does not compare, it won't sell.

4. The proper pricing of any commodity, especially a home, results in an early sale.

5. Buyers will avoid overpriced homes and look some where else. Buyers purchase within their qualified range, so if a buyer is qualified at $100,000 and your home is worth $100,000 but it is initially marketed 20% higher at $120,000 the buyer who is Qualified at $100,000 will not be looking at it, and the buyers qualified in the $120,000 range will be feel it is overpriced and will not put and offer in onit.

6. If overpricing causes a home not to sell, the monetary loss and the many inconveniences to the owner could be overwhelming.

7. Homes usually sell at a Fair Market Value! Pricing a home realistically will bring an early sale, few inconveniences, and a greater monetary return.

Luxury Homes,,, why would anybody pay 40k a year in taxes.. a client once asked me,, what do you tell her. PA and Specially Berks County has a big issue with property taxes. Taxes in Berks County seem to get out of hand in most instances, when it comes large properties it gets to the point of ridicule, Why would anybody pay 40k a year in taxes,, because they can, because having the home on the hill shows status, I told her, It is like buying a Rolex, you don't need one but you buy it to show ether that you have money, you made it, or you are in a huge dept...

Reading Pa the center of our county has a 5% transfer tax..., Helped a client recently buy a secluded home in Reading he had to pay 25K just in transfer tax to buy this house,,, how do you tell people that these homes are worth the money they spend. Wanted some feedback from real estate professionals about the taxes in your areas and what your counties have done to reduced taxes, I can pass your answers to our Senator,, see what he thinks...

Our tax rate is average about 3500/100k assessment..

I think is big, some townships have got to 4500/100k assessment... this can be good for anybody except for the county and the schools... but can you imagine what John and Jane, the 75 years old neighbors are going through....
