I would say that 45-60% would be a better indicator of a person’s financial history in regard to the longevity of the resident in the home; some people have the ability to pay 30% of the price of a home, which makes it not a good benchmark to accuratly value the sustainability of the neighborhood. This protect the senior housing contingent, but does not incentive those who have income for residential investment type properties, unless that individual is willing to pay the additional cost of occupy the residence until the requirement is met.

I wish I had this type of authority with policy; obviously those are all just my thoughts.

If I’m gonna buy a $1M+ home, it damned well better have granite countertops not just in the kitchen but also in the baths. I’m not spoiled, materialistic or naive. I just want quality for my money.

As easy as it sounds to "bail", I think most people won't do it. Maybe I shouldn't say this but short selling the house after buying another one could be a good exit strategy for someone severely upside down in their mortgage. Jonathan Christopher of Short Sale Way

On rapid urbanization, wouldn’t broader telecommuting for “white collar” workers co-locating retail/distribution within residential communities allow us salvage more of existing suburban housing stock?

More pragmatically, wouldn’t that be more platable polictically and socially even if sub optimal?

Of course mcmansion owners might still kick and scream about the afforable housing for workers at those localized retail/distibution points. They have traditionally even frowned upon mass transit let those people go back and forth. But maybe now that they need to use it, it will be different.

I like your thinking, but IMO the problem with that particular scheme is that the buyer’s broker will then be incented to push bids on houses he thinks are over-priced.

good info, thanks grim.

skep,

The biggest challenge will be finding an agency that will agree to buyer compensation. This will be far more difficult than agreeing on the details of the compensation structure.

John– not sure what your point is. If you are hiring this person, you don’t believe you have some freedom to negotiate how they are paid?

“Would not it lead to even higher listing prices as both selling agent AND buying agent now are interested in listing it 20% HIGHER AND DROPPING PRICE 20%???”

I don’t think so because the agent’s commission (both for the buyer and the seller) is based on the final sale price. So the seller’s agent would obviously not want to reduce the price from list whereas the buyer’s broker (under my scheme above) would want to do so.
