ParticipantGuys… as the developers squeeze the phase releases down to less homes per release, AND they continue to “sell” homes months in advance, such that people need to float the rates for several months it should be obvious that a percentage of homes will always fall out for a variety of reasons. Maybe people realize as the time rolls near that the mortgage payment will be to much. Maybe they will have changes of employment or other personal issues. Maybe the 10 year will run up higher and push them out. This will continue to happen. (buyers not closing)
Don’t get me wrong, I am not promising pricing reductions in any way, BUT, the best deals when buying from a developer are those “1 day” sales they have when someone fell out of escrow a few weeks from completion of the home.

ParticipantI do know of a good RE attorney however he has certain minimums that may be a bit steep for you. If you want I can email you his contact information. Post your email or you can email me at [email protected]. At the lease you can call him to see what he thinks.

ParticipantI agree that DOM is useful to know but to make a stink about it like it is a piece of information that cannot be had is simply not the truth.
Nobody seems to complain that FSBO homes don’t have days on the market or listing history available.
If you see a home that you want to find out information about then call the listing agent. Call Zip… call anyone… post it on piggington. You will also want to know what the sellers bought it for wouldn’t you? You will also want to know comps in the neighborhood wouldn’t you? You will also want to know if they are in distress wouldn’t you?
None of that information is posted on listings yet I would never make an offer without that information, nor would I ever think any other prudent buyer would.
I don’t disagree for one moment that the Realtor associations are nothing but self serving… however conspiratorial people want to say they are… well that is okay with me as well… but by the same token, there are so many pieces of information that are essential prior to considering making an offer on a home, and that information CAN be found readily. I really don’t feel people are handicapped in any way to find that information out.
Yes more information in a listing is nice, but it is not a law or a right for the MLS (which last I checked was not funded with any public money) to put it out there. In fact the Zips, Zillows, Realtor.coms could actually put out the days that the listing was active on their sites if they wanted to.
