Jersey Shore’s Lure to Homebuyers Seen Surviving Hurricane Sandy
Danea Kelly made her first shopping trip for a New Jersey shore vacation home on the Saturday before Hurricane Sandy made landfall. It won’t be her last.
While Kelly, 41, decided she no longer wants property directly on the ocean, the storm may open up new opportunities.
“You take your chances anytime you get involved with real estate,” said Kelly, who is house-hunting with her brother in North Wildwood, which dodged the worst of the Oct. 29 storm that tore apart the boardwalk in Atlantic City, 40 miles (65 kilometers) up the coast. “We may now have less competition from other buyers and it might steer some people who have lived down there a long time, who may decide, ‘It’s time for me to sell.’”
Real estate markets on the Jersey Shore will suffer in the wake of Sandy, which inflicted as much as $50 billion of business and property losses and caused at least 100 deaths in the U.S. In the hardest-hit communities, rebuilding of bridges, roads, dunes and homes will take months or even years. Home construction and insurance costs will probably rise.
While it will take time for buyers to regain confidence after the storm and last year’s Hurricane Irene exposed the vulnerabilities of oceanfront property, they will return, as they did to storm-wracked beaches in Florida, North Carolina and Texas, said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors.
…
“The allure of having an oceanfront property is just too great,” Yun said in a telephone interview from Washington. “People recognize that there are bad natural-disaster events and they just cross their fingers and hope it doesn’t happen to them.”When house-hunters come back, they’ll compete for a reduced supply of undamaged homes with higher asking prices, according to Yun. Rebuilt properties will feature costly upgrades such as sturdier roofs and wind-resistant windows, which also may push up resale prices.
First and good morning to all!
From the Record:
N.J. storm victims scrambling to find rental homes
Irene Cramer threaded her Mercury Mountaineer around fallen branches, slowing down in front of a squat white ranch to see if, maybe, it could be the temporary home she is desperate to find.
Cramer and her husband, Tommy, left their home in Lavallette, N.J., on a barrier island, ahead of Superstorm Sandy. The Cramers do not know how much damage their home sustained. Because the island and its infrastructure were devastated, they are looking for a long-term rental.
“We have no other choice,” Irene Cramer said.
Thousands of New Jersey residents displaced by Superstorm Sandy are frantically calling real estate offices, looking to rent a home or apartment while they figure out what to do about their storm-ravaged homes. Others are joining waiting lists at hotels filled with evacuees and out-of-state utility workers.
Demand, real estate agents said, far outstripped supply. Much of the region’s copious summer rental stock is not listed this time of year, and properties on the beach may be damaged or inaccessible. The winter housing stock is much smaller, and months-long rentals of vacation homes are virtually unheard of. And the prices of rentals changes with each season.
“The number of people who need homes now is much greater than what all of the companies have combined is available,” said John Meechan, a broker with Diane Turton Realtors in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J. The company has 16 offices in Monmouth and Ocean counties.
There are 961 rentals currently available in Monmouth and Ocean counties, said Al Veltri of Veltri Realtors and president of the Monmouth County Association of Realtors. The number is active, Veltri said, and because agents don’t automatically removed a filled listing the number could be significantly less than listed.
Renters were being urged to take what they could get. Agents were contacting owners of vacant homes for sale, asking whether they would be willing to rent them out for a few months.
“We’ve been going crazy,” said Ken Parker, an agent with Century 21 Nifoussi Realty in Toms River, N.J. “Any time a rental comes on the market, within hours it has multiple offers on it, for the obvious reasons. We’re doing everything we can to help these people. We’re all in the same boat down here.”
Others plunked down cash, choosing to buy a house, live in it temporarily, and rent or sell it later.
I do hope the Shore towns affected by the storm recover swiftly. I look forward to my summer vacations down there every year.
How Rich New Yorkers And Californians Could Get Hosed In A Fiscal Cliff Deal
a note, Morgan Stanley economist David Greenlaw explains how this works:
…When preparing their returns, taxpayers may choose the standard deduction or they may itemize and deduct certain expenses (including state and local taxes, mortgage interest, charitable contributions, and some medical expenses) to determine their taxable income. Taxpayers benefit from itemizing when their itemized deductions exceed the amount of the standard deduction. Note that for some types of expenses (such as medical expenses), only the amount that exceeds a given percentage of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income may be deducted. So, there is already a limitation imposed on certain types of deductions. But, with all other deductions, the benefit of itemizing increases with a taxpayer’s marginal tax rate. For instance, $10,000 in deductions reduces tax liability by $1,500 for someone in the 15 percent tax bracket but by $2,800 for someone in the 28 percent tax bracket.
So how does this actually affect individuals?
Reverting to pre-Bush tax rates on incomes above $250,000 – as the President and many Democrats have long advocated – would raise about $1 trillion over the next ten years. In order to achieve approximately the same amount of deficit reduction, the limitation on deductions would have to be set at 15%. In other words, taxpayers in marginal tax brackets above 15% would lose some of the benefit of their itemized deductions. Obviously, such a change would have the greatest impact on taxpayers in high brackets with a lot of deductions. In particular, the limitation on deductions would hit taxpayers in high tax states – such as NY and California – particularly hard.
Because state and local taxes are deductible, limiting deductions really creams rich taxpayers in places with high taxes.
And unfortunately, this probably reduces the odds of a deal, given how much clout people in both of those states.

Sorry guys cry me a river at over 4 grand a week, live small & you will have plenty of money for retirement, kids college etc. As you all know I am strongly against taking one mans fruits from hard work to give to another, but it ain’t the end of the world either if you get hit a little harder. There will be taxes we live in a modern society & things everyone expects must get payed for ( now a guy I know firemen retiring at 48 for life with medical & a NICE pension is pushing it I agree & then some). We all chaff at that kind of stuff, but the majority of working people do not make that kid of scratch, so do not expect them to storm the ramparts when they would pay the tax happily to be pulling in that kind of money. I get it it’s yours you earned just don’t go all crying the blues when it hits and I bet it will, just call Nom.
yeah right…..
When house-hunters come back, they’ll compete for a reduced supply of undamaged homes with higher asking prices, according to Yun.

[6] mike,
Yup. There’s things you should be doing. Be more, seem less.
The effective tax rate on my law earnings in 2011 was zero. Will be the same for 2012. Not a heavy lift as the practice did not net much. No dodging, no cheating, and nothing exotic. Of course, those taxes are largely deferred, not avoided, so it isn’t that much of a victory.

Shale Boom to Turn U.S. Into World’s Largest Oil Producer, Watchdog Says
By BENOÎT FAUCON
LONDON—A shale oil boom means the U.S. will overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest oil producer by 2020, a radical shift that could profoundly transform not just the world’s energy supplies, but also its geopolitics, the International Energy Agency said Monday.
In its closely watched annual World Energy Outlook, the IEA, which advises industrialized nations on their energy policies, said the global energy map “is being redrawn by the resurgence in oil and gas production in the United States.”
The assessment is in contrast with last year, when it envisioned Russia and Saudi Arabia vying for the top position.
“By around 2020, the United States is projected to become the largest global oil producer” and overtake Saudi Arabia for a time, the agency said. “The result is a continued fall in U.S. oil imports (currently at 20% of its needs) to the extent that North America becomes a net oil exporter around 2030.”
This major shift will be driven by the faster-than-expected development of hydrocarbon resources locked in shale and other tight rock that have just started to be unlocked by a new combination of technologies called hydraulic fracturing.
According to Washington’s Energy Information Administration, U.S. oil production has increased 7% to 10.76 million barrels a day since the IEA’s last outlook a year ago. The agency’s conclusions are partly backed by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which last week acknowledged for the first time that shale oil would significantly diminish its share of the U.S. market.
The group said the U.S. would import less than 2 million barrels a day in 2035, almost three-quarters less than it does today. That is not to say OPEC’s role will be marginalized globally. The group’s share of global production will increase from 42% today to 50% in 2035, with much of it going to Asia, according to the IEA.
The IEA hinted that newly found U.S. energy independence could redefine military alliances, with Washington being replaced by Asian nations as those needing to secure oil shipping lanes.
“It accelerates the switch in direction of international oil trade towards Asia, putting a focus on the security of the strategic routes that bring Middle East oil to Asian markets,” it said. Some in the U.S. are already questioning the reasons for keeping U.S. warships in the Persian Gulf. “It’s insane that we have the Fifth Fleet of the U.S. Navy tied up there to protect oil that ends up in China and Europe,” T. Boone Pickens, chief executive of energy-focused hedge fund BP Capital Management, was quoted as saying last week in U.S. magazine Parade.
The IEA also warned that the emergence of shale gas as a game changer in global energy has a downside risk, contributing to increased competition for water resources needed for energy projects.
Shale oil and gas are extracted by pumping water, sand and chemicals into the ground at high pressure to crack rocks open, a process known as hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.” But the intensive use of water, “will increasingly impose additional costs,” and could “threaten the viability of projects” for shale oil and gas, and biofuels, the agency said.

On large rentals, landscaping is often on the tenants. I am renting 13 acres. The landlord won’t even cut hay in what are “my” fields even though I don’t want the hay. I may turn a little of it and plant something else this spring.

Reasons why the Roman (American) empire fell:
The Government was constantly threatened by bankruptcy. The failing economy and heavy taxation was one reason why the Roman (American) Empire fell. The flow of gold (manufacturing, outsourcing, dollars) to the orient (China) to pay for goods led to a shortage of gold to put in Roman (American) coins. Roman (American) currency was devalued to such an extent that a system of bartering returned (2025?) to one of the greatest civilizations the world had ever known.
Cheap slave labor (Mexicans) in turn resulted in the unemployment of the the people of Rome (America) who became dependent on hand-outs from the state (Obamanation). The Romans (Americans) attempted a policy of unrestricted trade (hmmm…) but this led to working class Romans (Americans) being unable to compete with foreign trade. The government were therefore forced to subsidize the working class Romans (Yes We Can!) to make up the differences in prices. This resulted in thousands of Romans (Americans) choosing just to live on the subsides (hmmm….) sacrificing their standard of living with an (American) idle life of ease. The massive divide between the rich and the poor increased still further.
If the thousands of unemployed Romans (Americans) became bored, this led to civil unrest and rioting (Occupy Movement) in the streets. The ‘Mob’ needed to be amused – the gladiatorial games (entitlements) had to be provided. The cost of the gladiatorial games (entitlements) was born by the Emperor (Obama), and therefore the state, and corrupt politicians who sponsored the games to curry favor and support with the ‘Mob’ (Obama supporters). The cost of the gladiatorial games (entitlements) eventually came to one third of the total income of the Empire.
Also, the values, the ideals, customs, traditions and institutions, of the Romans (Americans) declined. The basic principles, standards and judgments about what was valuable (pro choice) or important in life also declined. The total disregard for humanity resulted in a lack of ethics (weed and condoms for all!!) – a perverted view of what was right and wrong, good and bad, desirable and undesirable. Any conformity to acceptable rules or standards of human behaviour were being lost.
[14] Brian – What Nom said in [17] is spot on. I had a nice rental in Long Island way back in the mid 90’s where I had a landscaper who did all that type of stuff, but it was stipulated in the lease exactly which landscaper I had to use and he was paid out of my pocket. At the lease signing the landlord sprang that one on me and I asked how much it ran a month and IIRC, he said something like $175/month, which seemed reasonable for an acre with a lot of plantings. After a few months where there were cost over-runs (seeding, fertilizing, fall clean-up) which all added significantly over teh $175 base, I called up my LL and renegotiated where I would continue to pay Schultzie the landscaper, but I would deduct anything over and above $175 from the rent. When you rent a nice property it’s always give and take in a good relationship. I cleaned the gutters and did other general maintenance, my LL paid to have the deck power-washed and re-stained, etc. He also left me a lot of furniture to use as well as a nice grill(it was his home and the family moved to Arizona) and I did some maintenance on the grill out of my own pocket. When we moved out he let me keep a bedroom set (It’s still in our home today) and the grill.

seif – It’s covered by a portion of your monthly rent, kind of like people who need a monthly budget plan for their heat because they don’t have enough savings to cover the higher heating bills in the winter. On my rental that I spoke about above, I guess I could boast that I received a “Holiday Landscaping Cost Reduction” as I didn’t have to pay the landscaper in December, January, or February. I also enjoyed a Spring and Summer heating oil cost reduction.

I guess my Sister-in-law got a pretty good deal. The place we just moved her into is small but the landlord does all the repairs/maintenance/gutters/landscaping etc. Plus, he just put in a new gas hot water heater and furnace and pays the gas bill too.
All she has to do is sit on her butt while the landscaper cleans up the yard and mows the lawn etc.

Sandy victim faces insurance nightmare
http://money.cnn.com/2012/11/12/pf/insurance/sandy-flood-insurance/index.html?iid=Lead
“The Bediners carry both homeowners and flood insurance, which is issued by FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and required of homeowners in flood-prone areas. In theory, it’s a lot of protection. But in practice, it can be very little.
His homeowner’s insurance policy from Liberty Mutual doesn’t cover flooding, just damage caused by high winds. Two days ago, the adjuster came by to inspect the home. The offer: A mere $5,045 for wind damage to the stucco exterior and garage door.
Bediner’s meeting with the flood insurance adjuster was even worse: Most of the repairs — the walls, ceilings, floors and the ruined office equipment in his downstairs office — would be not be covered by his flood insurance policy. The adjuster said he won’t be able to give him an exact figure for a couple of weeks but told him not to anticipate much. ”
“A big part of the problem for Bediner and other victims of Superstorm Sandy is that NFIP’s flood insurance does not cover any upgrades done to basements. Any finished walls, floors and ceilings or personal belongings that get destroyed while in a basement won’t be covered.
The only claims the policy will honor for basement damage are for things required to run the household, like furnaces, as well as structural elements, like stairways and the foundation.
“The adjuster said we would not get a penny for the ground floor except [to repair] the heating and AC,” said Bediner. “

On the topic of helping out the landlord, it sometimes pays huge benefits. My former tenants of 7 years upgraded their unit in many ways. I would always pay for the materials and they would provide the labor for free. In return for their efforts, I rarely raised the rent and when I did, I was more than fair. I know what landscaping costs. It’s a huge ripoff. Now I have two tenants who don’t know how to turn a screw. I pay $150 per month year round for mowing and a fall and spring cleanup. After the storm, I had to repair my gutters, the gazebo stake a small tree among a few other things. They don’t clean the gazebo either which is their loss. When rent time comes around, I will be raising it to whatever the standard increase is in town. If they lifted a rake and swung a hammer for an hour a week, I would probably save them $100 per month. In the future, will aim for ‘handy’ tenants. What a difference that makes. Also had to clear a drain twice in this time.
clot: you for a fact know I have a good deal; I just try to manage the relationship; I am in year 4 of the contract, the first three at the price you know, we agreed to kick it up another 10% for 2012 to 2014, we will renegotiate then……judging by his comments, he wants to walk away broken-even on his purchase price and upgrades. He will need the market to rise about 30% from here, so I assume I am safe until 2019-2020 area unless he tries to gouge us. He thinks about everything on a cash flow basis and he paid off the mortgage, so his calculus is pretty straightforward…..

With Obama’s reelection comes the onward march of American society’s degeneration into that of the lazy, bitter masses forever on the lookout to loot a hapless minority still trying to make an honest living. The coming brave new world will be filled to the brim with self-righteous individuals eager to shuffle around the Earth’s gifts to achieve some kind of equality. In the process, none of them will produce a lick of good outside of satisfying their own disturbed need to dominate. It will be rule of the inept over the capable. Barack Obama will lead the way. He will be replaced in four years with someone that follows the same doctrine.

Joyce,
I hear the same argument when one threatens to reduce the size of government. When threatened with this, the libs like to say, “Well there are no jobs in the private sector for them, so they’ll end up on unemployment.” Funny, the same libs were defending their higher rates of compensation by saying, “You need to compensate at a high levels to compete with the salaries in the private sector.”
Ultimately, we’d be much better off getting more discretionary dollars into the hands of the middle class. They are the ones willing to spend them. You can do this by lowering taxes through reducing the size of government. Instead, the Border Collie has the sheep believing that paying people to work unnecessary jobs is somehow helping the middle class.

Those of us who are relieved of the money to fund those checks are what is politely called “externalities” to that transaction. Alas, to us, in isolation, its not a zero-sum game either.
To repeat, its only a zero-sum game to the country as a whole. But that’s not what they care about.
Actually, it’s a less than zero sum game as the bureaucracy needed to first collect the taxes and second, to create the unnecessary job is incredibly inefficient due to the lack of profit motive in the public sector. Social programs are definitely necessary for many things, but employing people who can’t find jobs in the private sector is just plain dumb and anti productive.

Any upcoming trips to D-town?
Jill Galtoids?
believe me if there was a Galts gulch anywhere in these united states where I could live unencumbered by the Fedgov I would go there in a minute.
As currently constituted the govemern takes from the productive to give to someone else. government neither creates or grows wealth of its own labor rather through the systemic robbery of the consenting populace in the name of the greater good.
Welfare should be a help up not a lifestyle choice. Democrats talk fairness but provide no benefit in treating welfare receipients like children. There is no incentive to remove themselves from their situations as all their basic needs are provided and then some.
Here is your perfect welfare recipient chairman O voter

Unfortunately the whole country is partaking in envy and where’s mine politics. This goes for Republicans and Democrats. The difference between a Republican and Democrat Welfare recipient is absolutely nothing.
So call me a Galtoid, The libertarian principles served this country well for about a 150 some odd years until 1913 and the Wilsonian progressive revolution. It was in those moments we were all sold as cattle. You just haven’t realized your are chop meat yet.
Actually it’s a negative sum game, long term, because incentives change from value creation to value destruction when you shift money from productive to unproductive. In the short term, it might not even be coming out of producers’ pockets. It’s magic government money getting bought by central banks. It’s primarily when government debt expansion ceases that there’s a reckoning, and the cannibals find out that they’ve run out of victims.
Libtard (71) I now see you corrected that first.
Keynesians actually think it’s a positive sum game because of their imagined “multiplier effect” of wasteful spending toward those with “higher propensity to consume”, in the very short term.

This paragraph is satire, correct?
“Also, the values, the ideals, customs, traditions and institutions, of the Romans (Americans) declined. The basic principles, standards and judgments about what was valuable (pro choice) or important in life also declined. The total disregard for humanity resulted in a lack of ethics (weed and condoms for all!!) – a perverted view of what was right and wrong, good and bad, desirable and undesirable. Any conformity to acceptable rules or standards of human behaviour were being lost.”

Muller and Daniels: The Fracker’s Guide to a Greener World
Greenhouse-gas emissions are growing rapidly in the developing world. The only realistic alternative to this trend is natural gas.
You may think that global warming is the biggest scam of all time, driven by politicians who want to scare you and scientists who love media attention and increased funding. Or you may think global warming is the greatest threat we face, and that if we don’t act immediately we’ll leave a tragic legacy for our children and grandchildren.
One of us is a former skeptic, converted by his own research to the conviction that man-made carbon dioxide is the decisive factor in a real phenomenon of climate change. The other is agnostic, willing to be persuaded of human causality but rejecting as ineffective or counterproductive the anti-growth policies proposed by some alarmists. People like us—and all those struggling with the ambiguities of this highly uncertain topic—might come together around policies that make sense whatever the scientific facts ultimately prove to be.
For the sake of argument, let’s begin by assuming that the United Nations evaluation is correct in arguing that global warming is real, caused by humans, and going to cause severe disruption to our economies and to our lives. Please bear with us even if you reject this claim; we’ll suggest actions that make sense regardless of your position.
China’s yearly greenhouse-gas emissions first exceeded those of the United States in 2006, and by the end of this year the Chinese will be emitting twice as much as the Americans. This spectacular rise matches China’s economic growth and vast expansion of coal use. For the last seven years, China has been adding more than a gigawatt of new coal power each week, or more than 52 new gigawatts of additional capacity every year. (For comparison, New York City uses 10 gigawatts and isn’t increasing its use.) And we can expect Chinese economic and energy growth to continue.
In the U.S., by contrast, emissions are at the lowest they’ve been for 20 years thanks largely to America’s continuing switch from coal to natural gas, which emits half as much carbon dioxide for each kilowatt hour of energy generated.
This means that the future warming projected by the U.N. comes not from the U.S. (or from other developed countries) but primarily from China, India and the rest of the rapidly developing world.
Assuming that the U.N. scenario is correct, the only hope for controlling China’s emissions is to reduce its coal growth—a challenge since coal is cheap, China has a great natural supply, and the Chinese currently derive nearly 70% of their electricity from coal.
We suggest a dual approach: profitable conservation and rapid expansion of the natural-gas economy.
The conservation we suggest is technological, meaning it wouldn’t depend on individual sacrifice or cultural change. Done right, this conservation can yield large returns on investment.
Install better insulation, for example, and you can save on both heating and cooling. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that close to half of American consumers could get back 100% of their investment over roughly five years. Utility commissions could link the revenue of utilities to their successful implementation of efficiency, as they have done with success in our home states, Indiana and California.
Other ways to achieve profitable conservation include investing in “cool roofs” that reflect heat radiation. These can be cheaper and more efficient than installing solar cell collectors to generate power used by appliances such as air conditioners.
Even more promising is the switch away from coal to natural gas, particularly in the developing world. Natural gas has the huge added advantage of causing far less local air pollution—the kind that, unlike carbon dioxide, is harmful to human health. Coal releases far higher levels of soot and other chemicals that are currently choking China.
One of the factors slowing the world-wide switch to natural gas, however, is shortsighted opposition from some environmentalists in the U.S., Europe and beyond. They argue that extracting natural gas by hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) may pollute local water supplies and leak the powerful greenhouse gas methane, and their arguments affect official and commercial thinking in both the developed and developing worlds.
It is true that fracking has caused some limited, local pollution in the U.S., but this is attributable largely to the wildcatting behavior of the rapidly growing industry. Technology for clean fracking is technically straightforward, and government authorities can promote its use through careful monitoring and large fines for transgressions.
Some environmentalists argue that the best approach to limiting greenhouse-gas emissions is to switch to “renewables.” But these energy sources are still far outside the budgets of the developing nations. China last year installed two gigawatts of solar capacity—but that is “peak” power representing only a clear midday when the sun is directly overhead. Average in nights and cloudy days, and the average power these plants can deliver is about 1/4 gigawatt. Meanwhile, China’s coal use grows at about 50 gigawatts per year, or 200 times faster than its solar growth. No realistic scenario foresees renewables making more than a marginal contribution in the developing world for many decades.
The dual solution of profitable conservation (beloved by liberals) and clean fracking (touted by conservatives) may not fully satisfy either side. But we hope it can provide a middle ground on which political factions can come together.
It is still conceivable that global warming isn’t caused by greenhouse gases, that the theory and the computer models are wrong, and that the match between the temperature curve and carbon-dioxide emissions is accidental. Even so, profitable conservation makes business sense, and a natural-gas economy would reduce smog and improve public health. It is worth facilitating China’s shift from coal to natural gas for humanitarian reasons alone.

Front Page Story over at Huffington Post right now is ” Sandy Damage Amplified By Breakneck Development Of Coast.”
It’s an lengthy story for them and includes some government storm surge maps.
“Policymakers in New Jersey had their own warnings that a severe storm surge posed a major risk to the state’s densely populated coastline. In a series of reports over the past decade, the state’s Department of Environmental Protection warned in stark terms that increased risk of hurricanes from climate change, coupled with a continued population expansion along New Jersey’s coast, had set the stage for an enormously expensive disaster.
For decades, critics pushed for greater scrutiny of new development by state and local officials along the New Jersey coastline. Yet new construction continued unabated, as state law requires only lenient reviews of smaller developments in coastal areas.
“There’s plenty of information out there about the risk on the Jersey Shore,” said Ken Mitchell, a professor of geography at Rutgers University who has studied hurricane risks in New Jersey and throughout the world. “But it doesn’t seem to have reached deep enough in the public policy system to do anything to handle the magnitude of this storm.”

92. The best way to stop coastline development is to stop government from subsidizing insurance of those properties. And stop subsidizing mortgage issuers that finance same.
Typical that people think instead of changing a flawed incentive structure, the cure is even more layers of government and regulation.
And I’ll bet NJ government will spend lots of money subsidizing rebuilding things so they can wash away again.
The US government was once about protecting people’s rights. Now it’s about protecting the stupid from their bad choices and the consequences.

Ragnar,
Absolutely. As we all know, the wisest course of action for the government to take is usually “do nothing” … but then people might start to question why the huge swarms of beauracrats are needed in the first place.
Now it’s (the government) about protecting the stupid from their bad choices and the consequences… and stealing, killing, harassing etc etc.

Any advice for RE problem:
My son bought an old condo. He did not use buyer side agent but rather worked directly with seller’s agent. In paper, somebody from that agent’s office was buyer side agent.
Closing got delayed a bit. When they finally got the keys and entered the condo, they found out nasty surprise: Notice from the HOA that “special assessment” meeting is planned the day before the closing.
Extensive repairs are needed. Approximate cost is $15,000. HOA had done some studies and plans already. No disclosure was ever made.
In old HOA meeting minutes (apparently not disclosed, but available in condo lobby),
there were some vague references to meeting agenda “discussion about drainage project and special assessment”, but no details.
My son asked about this from the seller side agent. According to him, seller was aware of these discussions but since no decisions were made, they did not think of disclosing this.
Question to RE experts here: Is not disclosing this to the buyer acceptable, or is this an apparent violation ?
southnj,
In a nutshell, yes. I would reopen negotiations immediately.

Comrade,
Not that anything will come of it, I think the article was trying to be sensational saying ‘X number of states petition’ rather than accurately stating ‘individuals from X number of states…”
That being said, one does not ask permission to secede, you just declare it.
Secede with a bullet.
south (107)-
That’s a failure to disclose a material issue. Also, there is no seller or buyer agency possible when the transaction is done within the same company. Offering you an agent within the same office- who is not the listing agent- and telling you he’s your “buyer’s agent” is a violation that is punishable by forfeiture of the commission. The only possible type of agency in this situation is dual disclosed. It must be presented in writing to you (and acknowledged by your signature) BEFORE any offers are written. In addition, a dual disclosed agent CANNOT NEGOTIATE on either buyer or seller’s behalf.
Love that the seller of that crapshack condo timed things out to unload his POS before the HOA put a special assessment in place.
“No decisions had been made” is a crock of crap. Special assessments are levied almost 100% of the time when they are needed, as they are necessary to keep the HOA operating within its covenants or compliant with NJ DCA regulations.
I used to deal with schmucks all the time who were on HOA boards. They’d blow out the reserve funds, defer maintenance, make all kinds of insider/sweetheart deals with service providers…then unload their units before TSHTF.

Vodka with a twister as bar washes up on block
By KENNETH GARGER, DANA SAUCHELLI and RICH CALDER
Last Updated: 12:06 PM, November 6, 2012

The drinks were on Sandy!
A Brooklyn marina pub broke off from its main structure during the hurricane — and floated two miles before landing on a residential street, treating stunned residents there to its well-stocked bar for an after-storm bash.
“We had a big party. We had nothing else to do while we were waiting for everything else to dry, and this was a great opportunity to get our minds off everything,” said Michael Sarrell, 27, one of the Gerritsen Beach residents who took solace in the battered Gateway Marina bar that came to rest just outside their door.
The bar — which residents identified as a chunk of the marina establishment on federal parkland on Flatbush Avenue — had been lifted from its foundation in Mill Basin during Superstorm Sandy and drifted in swollen Deep Creek Bay, past the Belt Parkway, all the way west to the dead-end block at Madoc Avenue and Keen Court in Gerritsen Beach.
“It was moving 30 mph toward my house!” said Patrice Dolan, 52, who recalled screaming, “Oh, my God! What do I do? What do I do?” as the surreal moment played out.
When the bar hut came to a rest, residents discovered its tables and chairs were miraculously intact — as was a wide variety of booze.
By Wednesday, residents had set up an impromptu watering hole, writing “SANDY’S BAR” in red marker across the gray facade.
Once the liquor supply quickly ran out, “B.Y.O.B.” was scribbled below.
Sarrell’s brother Keith, 26, said the whole neighborhood then took to bringing in booze, coolers and even power generators to keep the party going.
“We had Jameson, Skyy Vodka and a bunch of beer,” said resident Nino Coppolino, 29. “We packed 40 people in there. That’s a lot of body heat to stay warm.”
The partying lasted through Friday night but ended Saturday, when cops and sanitation workers arrived and razed the structure for safety reasons.
“I was going to try and put it in my back yard and make it a permanent bar, but they had to knock it down,” Keith Sarrell said.
Last night, with the bar gone and reality setting in, residents along the strip were burning damaged furniture and cardboard in a barrel to keep warm.
It’s unclear when the devastated seaside community will get its power back.
Bill Gallucci, a 50-year-old boat mechanic, said the liquor license on one of the displaced bar’s walls indicated it was part of Gateway Marina.
The structure “had thousands of dollars of floatation devices under it,” he said. “And they had barnacles growing on them.”
Some residents had briefly believed the bar was actually part of a popular beach bar in Breezy Point, Queens, seven miles away called the Sugar Bowl because the structures looked similar.
“It’s a shame they had to tear it down,” Gallucci said of the hut.
“It probably could’ve been transported safely back to the marina.”
