Unsold real estate stock depleting on fall in new launches

Nicaraguans selling their homes rarely lock themselves into an agreement with one party wanting to sell their land, house, or commercial building. property may appear on multiple real estate company websites and be advertised online by numerous different people. More confusing, the prices advertised may vary for the same house, sometimes by tens of thousands of dollars. If you want to sell something, the assumption is the more people trying to sell it, the better. And by more people that can be realtors, the owner themselves, their family and friends, a neighbor, or a horse drew carriage driver. This seems chaotic to a foreigner shopping for a retirement or vacation home, but it makes perfect sense to Nicaraguans. Without an MLS service that allows numerous realtors to show prospective buyers a listed property, letting everyone try to sell a property seems to be the best way to get exposure.

Another misconception foreign purchasers have when buying real estate in Nicaragua is that the seller is paying the real estate agent.

This is sometimes the case, but the buyer may be asked to pay the commission even when it is. Yes, this is legal in Nicaragua. In fact, not only could there be a commission paid by the seller and buyer, but the real estate agent may have added an amount to what the seller actually wants in their hand. This, too, is legal. The worst-case scenario is that the seller wants US$50,000 for their home. The sellers offer anyone selling the home US$1000 or a percentage. The real estate selling agent advertises the home for US$59,900, allowing for negotiating room. A buyer settles on US$55,000 but is told that in Nicaraguan, the buyer pays the commission. Not actually the truth, but common enough that people think it’s a rule. The requested commission can be anything up to 10%, or it can be a flat fee. Once all is said and done, and the buyer agrees to purchase the property for US$55,000. In a case such as this, the ‘agent’ will insist on a nonrefundable US$5000 down payment. At closing, the seller receives the US$50,000 that they wanted, and the selling agent pockets the rest of NASA launch schedule 2016

I know of purchasers who handed a ‘realtor’ US$65.000 to purchase a 3-acre farm with a small house on the property. The ‘realtor’ then went to the property owner and paid him US$20,000 to buy the land. It gets worse… the ‘realtor’ never bothered to make the title transfer until the buyer discovered he was not the owner when he tried to pay long-overdue taxes. In the end, the property was purchased by a developer for little more than the original US$65,000, but 8 years of appreciation later. In another case, Europeans purchased a home and overpaid US$85,000. Of course, basing their offer on the European real estate values they knew, they assumed they were getting a bargain. The ‘realtor’ pocketed the US$85,000 and a commission he charged the buy as well. Again, perfectly legal in Nicaragua… so caveat emptor.
