Son wants to know if parents should sell now or wait for ‘top dollar’

Question: My father is waiting to sell his parents’ home. In 2022, my grandparents passed. In the will, I will receive 25% of the proceeds. I am to “buy a house.” Their Bay Area house, bought in 1960, sans remodeling, will fetch almost $2,000,000. The big draw is the schools. However, my father still waits for home loan interest rates to drop. He says, “I want to sell it for top dollar.”Your column indicates home prices are not dropping while interest rates increase. My father disagrees. Besides, if my grandparents’ home increases in value, so will the home I must purchase.Due to injuries, my disability income is limited. I need to keep expenses down. I will have to buy in a rural California area. The homes will cost a fraction of my grandparents’ home. I want to stay in California. But if my father keeps waiting, I will have to buy out of state.Should my father list and sell his parents’ Bay Area house now or wait?Answer: Does your dad want you to buy a house? If so, prepare his pa...Bangladesh’s opposition supporters clash with police as tensions run high ahead of general election

Israel launched an expanded ground operation on Saturday after knocking out communications and creating a near-blackout of information in the Gaza Strip with increased bombardment and artillery fire overnight.Israel said infantry and armored vehicles were backed by “massive” strikes from the air and sea, including the bombing of Hamas tunnels, which are a key target in its campaign to crush the territory’s ruling group.Explosions from continuous airstrikes lit up the sky over Gaza City for hours after nightfall Friday as the Israeli military said it was expanding ground operations in the territory, signaling a move closer to an all-out invasion of Gaza after the bloody rampage by Hamas in southern Israel on Oct. 7.The Palestinian telecom provider, Paltel, said the bombardment caused “complete disruption” of internet, cellular and landline services as the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people were largely cut off from contact with the outside world.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel on Saturday expanded its ground operation in Gaza with infantry and armored vehicles backed by “massive” strikes from the air and sea, including the bombing of Hamas tunnels — a key target in its campaign to crush the territory’s ruling group after its bloody incursion in Israel three weeks ago.The bombardment also knocked out communications in Gaza, creating a near-blackout of information from the besieged enclave and largely cutting off the territory’s 2.3 million people from the outside world.The military released grainy images Saturday showing of tank columns moving slowly in open areas of Gaza and said warplanes bombed dozens of Hamas tunnels and underground bunkers.“The forces are still on the ground and are continuing the war,” said the army spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, indicating that the next stage has begun in what is expected to evolve into an all-out ground offensive in northern Gaza.
