Does Your Neighbor Effect Your Home's Value

Thursday, May 2, 2013
by The Hat Team

Generally speaking, real estate articles dealing with the buying, selling, or appraisal of a Montgomery AL home render advice dealing with the condition and appeal of the property.  Would-be sellers are reminded to pay particular houseattention to curb appeal, cosmetic repairs, de-cluttering, and maintenance matters, while potential buyers are urged to focus on location, amenities, and structural stability. There are other, less publicized factors that impact a Montgomery AL home’s value, however, and they, too, should be included in a buyer’s or seller’s check list.

The Appraisal Institute, the nation’s largest professional association of real estate appraisers cautions homeowners and potential home buyers that bad neighbors can significantly reduce nearby property values.

Bad neighbors can include homeowners with annoying pets, unkempt yards, unpleasant odors, loud music, dangerous trees and limbs, or poorly maintained exteriors. A homeowner or prospective home buyer should visit a street on several days at various times to learn more about what is happening in the neighborhood. A home’s proximity to a bad neighbor also can impact the rate of potential decline in value.  “I’ve seen many situations where external factors, such as living near a bad neighbor, can lower home values by more than 5 to 10 percent,” said Appraisal Institute President Richard L. Borges II, MAI, SRA.

If your Montgomery AL home’s value is jeopardized by such a situation, you should consider the following actions:

  • Join with other neighbors and approach the bad neighbor together.
  •  Check subdivision restrictions with the municipality and/or HOA for any violations.  If some are found, report the bad neighbor and request an investigation. A call to the local health department also may be warranted.
  • Hire an attorney. If all else fails, the cost of an attorney will likely be less than the home’s potential loss in value.

Another type of a “bad” neighbor can be a business or government enterprise whose very existence drives down the value of your property.  Potential buyers of a Montgomery AL home would be well-advised to

be on the lookout for landfills, power plants, cell towers, commercial warehouses, funeral homes, a closed school or other public facility, and a number of foreclosed homes in a neighborhood, as these also can negatively affect a home’s value.

Friday, April 19, 2013
by The Hat Team

The 1968 Fair Housing Act prohibited housing discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or handicap. Every April, REALTORS® celebrate Fair Housing Month to reaffirm their continuing commitment to fair and equitable treatment and a professional level of service for all in their search for real property.

Take a look at sales figures in our local real estate market for March 2013.

Midtown Montgomery real estate sales statistics for March 2013 show the number of homes sold decreased by 6% when compared to March 2012. The average sales price decreased by 6% to $87,165 for the month. The median sales prices increased by 48%, and market times decreased by 7 days. The highest selling home price decreased by 24%, and the lowest selling home price increased by 27% from March 2012.

Midtown Montgomery March 2013 March 2012
Homes Sold 30 32
Average Selling Price $ 87,165 $ 92,571
Median Selling Price $ 91,500 $ 47,950
Days On The Market 124 131
Highest Selling Price $ 286,900 $ 375,000
