After eviction threats and missed payments, it looks like Nadya Suleman, better known as Octomom, is selling her California house on the La Habra real estate market for $525,000.
Technically, Octomoms home is not hers; her father purchased it for $450,000 in March 2009 from Amer Haddadin under very specific mortgage conditions: monthly payments of $4,139 and a final balloon payment due in March 2010 to fulfill the entire $450,000 mortgage. The final balloon payment was never made, Haddadin said, but luckily for Suleman, she was able to pick up a six-month extension on the payment agreement in April 2010.

Leasing activity was dominated by financial services and media companies, which accounted for 16 of the 20 largest leases completed during Q2. Two blockbuster deals were completed in the quarter, with Conde Nast signing a lease for 1 million SF to anchor the under-construction 1 World Trade Center, and Nomura moving from Downtown to 900,000 SF at 825 Eighth Avenue in Midtown.

When a REALTOR® speaks about a time clause in Edmonton they are most often talking about a clause that is inserted into a buyer’s condition, where the offer is conditional upon the selling of their home. This is not an unusual clause, but its use is completely situational. For example, as a buyer you may lose negotiating position when you still have to sell your home and you include a “sale of buyer’s home” condition. That however is not the point of this article. The main topic is the amount of time that can be inserted into that clause.
