Team Thayer Real Estate Eugene Oregon
Justin Lee Thayer / Oregon Property Disclosure Statement
A seller’s disclosure form is an opportunity for the buyer to learn about know damages to the property while also providing insight to the seller’s experience in it. This form includes the seller’s knowledge of the condition of the property as of the date signed by the seller. The form is not a warranty of any kind by the seller and is not a substitute for any inspections or warranties the buyer may wish to obtain. The form will indicate what items the property has but not does not mean they convey such as appliances. Disclosure forms reveal things such as any physical defects to the house along with hazards such as lead paint. It is the buyer’s responsibility to find out any past damage inflicted to the house.
Seller’s disclosure forms can reveal things such as:
  • Leaky windows
  • Damages to walls
  • Any construction that is nearby
  • Natural hazards around the home
  • Borderlines for property
  • Any deaths on the property
Seller’s disclosures forms are not only useful to the buyer, but can also protect the seller against legal action. It is a crime in most states to not disclose any known defects to the property you are selling. 
How do I get a seller’s disclosure form?
Depending on the state in which you live, disclosure forms may differentiate at every level, even to county level.  Seller’s can be liable for what they reveal on the seller’s disclosure form for up to 10 years after the sale. It is best for sellers to disclose every slight damage or repairs to the house so that the buyer cannot come after you with a potential lawsuit or hurt the selling of your home.  Remember that seller’s disclosure forms are legal documents!
Is a disclosure the same thing as an inspection?
An inspection and a seller’s disclosure form are not the same thing. There may be damages or broken codes that a seller is not aware of that an inspection can reveal. This is why an inspection should always be done when selling a home.
It is a crime for sellers not to disclose any known problems about the house to the buyer. Seller’s disclosure forms can be received and viewed by the buyer prior to submitting an offer. If the buyer finds a major potential problem with the house after the form has been provided, a buyer has the ability to still back out without repercussions or submitting an offer.

Understanding the tax advantages and disadvantages of homeownership #realestate #taxadvantage #taxes #housing #market

It’s no secret that some of the major perks of homeownership are the tax write-offs and advantages that follow the purchase. In fact, according to a 2015 survey by the National Association of Realtors, 80% of homebuyers see homeownership as a good investment, and 43% think it’s better than investing in the stock market. Reaping the rewards of mortgage interest and property tax deductions is just one way to think of your home as an investment. But there are even more real estate–related tax advantages and disadvantages that can slip under a new homeowner’s radar. It can be relatively easy to trigger tax liabilities or perks (and then fail to claim them) on that new piece of  Eugene, Or, real estate . This is why it’s essential to touch base with your tax pro before every real estate transaction, no matter how minor a question you may have. Sometimes planning and timing make a major difference in the financial impact of a real estate–related tax; other times, ...
