A lot of agents write every offer on an as-is contract with right to inspect, knowing that the buyers are not going to accept the property as-is. They feel it makes the offer appear stronger. There is nothing illegal or unethethical with this practice however it may sometimes put the seller on the defensive when after inspections the buyer asks for a new A/C. After viewing the property, you can usually tell if it is going to need some repairs. In this scenario it may be better to present the offer on a regular contract and negotiate from the beginning what the seller may be willing to put out on repairs. There are some required repairs if the buyer is going FHA or VA. Just a hint to keep in mind.
Two new waterfront listings in our areas.
A home on the canal of Waterway Manor in Merritt Island has been listed at a very relistic price of $215,000. This home has 3 bedrooms 2 baths and 1700 sq ft. Features a small boat lift for a 16' boat which is ideal for redfish and trout in the rivers and canals. Priced right!
For the person with a little adventure to seek out in life. A new listing in Cape Canaveral on the ocean which has been licensed for weekly rentals has hit the market. This is a 2 story home with garage and 3 bedrooms 2 baths. The beach is literally your backyard with tiki bar. Continue to rent or make it your home. Listed at $1,100,000 which may be a little high in todays market.
