Now homeowners, buyers, and sellers can estimate the value of a home and learn how to improve a property to increase its value by $10,000 or more. In this exhaustive insider’s guide, real estate developer Wallace Kaufman teaches you what makes for value in a home—from the quality of the roof tiling to the quality of the neighborhood—and he shows how you can make a complete home appraisal that most people have professionally done at a cost of up to $1,000. Finding Hidden Values in Your Home shows the homeowner how to make valuable remodeling decisions, the buyer how to make house inspections and estimates, and the seller how to cash in on hidden property values. Complete with checklists, worksheets, and essential information for city and town dwellers, this book is the best protection you, the homeowner, buyer, or seller can get.

Homeowners pay hefty fees for appraisals. When I worked frequently as an expert witness on property valuation and when I often did home appraisals, I realized that many appraisals were inaccurate and some fraudulent. I also realized that homeowners often confuse the personal value they place on a home with the value that the market puts on the home. Or they do not understand the difference between market value and the total of their investment.To save homeowners from serious mistakes and to help them decide how to increase the value of their homes, I wrote this book. It is full of illustrative stories, and it also follows step by step the Uniform Appraisal Report form that appraisers use.I wanted to put homeowners on an equal footing with lenders and appraisers when they had to value their homes.

Widely regarded as the best, most comprehensive text available for the in-depth study of labour market theories, this textbook calls upon excellent pedagogical elements, current events, and recent empirical research to introduce students to labour economics. The author's balanced approach to the material enables students to gain an understanding of the background of the field as they explore its latest developments and unique topics not covered in most competing texts. Features: * Labor market theory is consistently placed in the real world throughout the book with applications to current public policy issues. Ample illustrations use empirical examples and evidence, and current events from recent magazine or newspaper articles. * A number of unique topics not covered in competing labor texts are examined, including technological change and labor demand, two-tier wage systems, discrimination in promotion, the firm's internal wage structure, bargaining theories of household labor supply, and the generation of the wage/price spiral. * The author presents a balanced and well rounded look at labor market theory, providing it with a framework in which it is possible to distinguish between the two major schools of thought in labor economics: the neoclassical school and the institutional school. * Each chapter begins with a brief look at the empirical facts concerning the particular subject covered. "In the News" boxes provide high-interest examples of labor market theory in action. "Policy Applications" and "Applications" sections provide further applications of theory to public policy issues and current events topics. Excellent appendices offer detailed information on linear regression theory, data and reference sources, and international labor statistics. * Completely updated statistics and research ensure a current view of the issues and concepts of today's labor markets.
