The beautiful and seriously cheap UK seaside town where homes sell for £50k | UK | News lolita, 13/04/2025 The town of Berwick-upon-Tweed has passed between England and Scotland for centuries and it’s a place bursting with fabulous history. However, despite its cultural significance, the town boasts highly competitive property prices. In fact, according to Rightmove, homes can be snapped up for as little as £50,000, with many others listed for an asking price not much higher. Although the average cost of a property is greater, it is still far below the national average. According to the online estate agent, the average price of a house last year was £216,951, substantially lower than £304,000, which in March 2023 was the average cost of a property in England, according to the ONS. Compared to London, Berwick-upon-Tweed’s properties are on average over half as cheap. In the capital, according to Statista the average house price is £536,000. But what is there to do in Berwick-upon-Tweed? As the most northerly town in England, there is plenty of fantastic wildlife and open spaces to enjoy, as well as views to take in.

Buying, Selling A House In CA? The Rules Are Changing: What To Know lolita, 07/04/2025 CALIFORNIA — If you recently bought or sold a home in California, you know the seller likely paid a 5% to 6% commission. Half of that fee probably went to the listing agent and half to the buyer’s agent. The National Association of Realtors reached a settlement agreement on Friday that changed the commission rules. The settlement, which must still receive court approval, is seen as a “landmark case” in the nation’s real estate market, but what will it mean in California? The NAR commission rule is at the heart of the settlement agreements in California and across the nation. Under existing language, a seller’s agent must disclose the commission cut for the buyer’s agent when listing homes on NAR-affiliated multiple listing services (MLS). For example, on public interfaces like Zillow or Realtor.com, when consumers browse homes for sale they will see a “buyer’s agent fee” — usually 2.5-3%. In California, the seller typically pays both sides of the commission. So if a house sells for $1 million, and a 6% commission is split between a listing agent and a buyer’s agent, the seller loses $60,000 off the top. The buyer still pays $1 million. The settlement agreement “is … Continue Reading
