What is an escalation clause in real estate?
An escalation clause is a real estate contract, sometimes called an escalator, that lets a home buyer say: “I will pay X price for this home, but if the seller receives another offer that’s higher than mine, I’m willing to increase my offer to Y price.”

In theory, an escalation clause is fairly simple. In practice, there are a lot of details involved.

Don’t Co-Sign Loans for Anyone

When you co-sign for a loan, you’re making yourself accountable for that loan’s success and repayment. With that obligation comes higher debt-to-income ratios as well. Even if you promise you won’t be the one making the payments, your lender will have to count the payments against you.

Taking on a new job can be exciting. But if getting a new gig happens to coincide with your plans to buy a home, it can affect your ability to get a mortgage—even if you make more money in your new job.

When you apply for a home loan, lenders take a deep dive into your financial history, including your current employment, to see if you can handle monthly mortgage payments.

“Any change to your income and employment may impact your ability to obtain a mortgage loan,” says Esther Phillips, senior vice president at Chicago-based Key Mortgage Services.

Most people don’t buy their “forever house” right out of the gate. It’s hard to afford a home that has the size and amenities you want on your first (or even second) purchase. So most people start out with something a little smaller, needing some work, or not in their ideal location. The plan is usually to spend a few years in it, then sell it to buy a bigger, better home in your ideal neighborhood once you’ve built up some equity.

Experts in the real estate industry use a number of terms when they talk about what’s happening with home prices. And some of those words sound a bit similar but mean very different things. To help clarify what’s happening with home prices and where experts say they’re going, here’s a look at a few terms you may hear:

• Appreciation is when home prices increase.
• Depreciation is when home prices decrease.
• Deceleration is when home prices continue to appreciate, but at a slower pace.

What we become depends on what our fathers teach us.

"Today, I'm grateful for my dad who made his transition at the age of 87.
Thank you to all fathers who give unconditional love to their children."

The San Francisco Bay Area’s juggernaut of sales activity and home price growth has been one of the most dramatic U.S. real estate stories of the past several years, and even amid pandemic-driven changes in buying activity, sellers maintained a firm upper hand.

Now, however, many parts of the region are showing early signs that buyers may finally get some relief.

“There’s an overall clear indication of a slowdown, or a stabilization I think might be a better word,” said Anton Danilovich of Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty. “We’ve been going at 150 miles an hour for two years, and now there’s a 50 mile an hour decrease, but we’re still moving at 100.”

When touring a home for sale, first impressions are everything—and we’re not just talking about curb appeal. It’s common for sellers to spruce up their house before putting it on the market, and some of these home improvements can include DIY maintenance projects like painting the cabinets or switching out the hardware.

But if the job is not done right, the shoddy craftsmanship will become blatantly obvious to buyers. And if the renovations are really bad, some buyers might lose interest in the home altogether.

Read on for a look at the most common DIY projects that home sellers take on—and can royally screw up.

Buyers, on the flip side, are having a harder time finding homes.

Most homeowners consider adding solar panels for one (or a combination) of three reasons:

1. They’re environmentally conscious.
2. They’re looking to save money.
3. They think it will add value to their home when they sell it.

Very few people will argue against it being an earth-friendly decision to make if that’s your motivation.

One of the famed Postcard Row homes on San Francisco’s Alamo Square is back on the market. Available for $3.55 million, the Pink Painted Lady has been featured in millions of photographs.

Leah Culver, a senior engineer at Twitter, purchased the historic house in January 2020 with hopes of returning the grande dame to her former glory. But now, she’s decided to sell rather than go forward with a multiyear, multimillion-dollar construction project.
