Jimmy Kimmel Explains Bizarre Answer in Miss Teen USA contest
I am buying a house in Pleasanton, and the contract is signed and the escrow is getting ready to close, and the seller decides he does not want to move out at close of escrow, but wants a week after close to move out. When we express the fact that this will not work for us, he threatens to cancel the contract. Can he do this? Ben in Pleasanton

Doug, my friend listed her house with an agent with the understanding that if one of her friends (named specifically) buys her property, the agent would be compensated at 4% commission. So one of her friends has made an offer. When the agent sent my friend the estimated pay out from the transaction, the agent put in her commission as 6%. Her explanation is that the original deal was only good until she listed the house in MLS. Is this ethical? Or legal? Or standard practice? Ginny C.

I recently purchased my first house and according to the escrow agreement the seller received 3 days after closing to move. Well after three days I called the seller to verify a time we would meet to exchange keys and he told me he needed THIRTY days!!! To make a long story short he claims he didn't understand the escrow docs and thought he had more time. So I charged him $4000 for the additional 30 days. Now we're coming close to the end of the thirty days and he STILL isn't prepared to move. Although, I'd love to milk him for another $4000 I'm ready to move into my place. As the new legal owner what are my options to get him out? Tamara, Los Angeles, Californa

Good news. Pending sales in Pleasanton are up. There are 44 pending sales as of today (April 23) for the month. We have a week to go, so we might hit 50, which is a great month. Inventory is keeping steady with 223 homes on the market.
Pending sales are at or near record levels in Stockton, Tracy, & Antioch. Could we be getting close to a point of stability? Only time will tell.
And now, back to our regularly scheduled real estate slump…
