Capital gain   profit earned from the sale of an asset, where the sales price was greater than the adjusted basis.

Capital loss   loss sustained from the sale of an asset, where the sales price is less than the adjusted book basis.

Capitalization   a mathematical process for converting net income into an indication of value, commonly used in the income approach to value. The net income of the property is divided by an appropriate (capitalization) rate of return to give the indicated value. (Income ÷ Rate = Value)

Capitalization rate  the rate of return a property will produce on the owners investment.

Caravan  a group tour by a real estate office's sales agents to view listed properties.

Carbon monoxide (CO)  a colorless, odorless highly poisonous gas  that occurs as a byproduct of burning such fuels as wood, oil and natural gas due to incomplete combustion because there is not enough oxygen.

Carbon monoxide "alarm"   is a "stand alone" unit and has its own built-in power supply and audible device. It is battery operated or as of late,  some models can be plugged into an electrical outlet.

Carbon monoxide "detector"   gets it's power from the electrical built in system of a home.  It is a system designed to be used with a fire alarm system and is connected to the the fire alarm  panel.

Carry-back   financing where the seller takes back a note for part of the purchase price secured by a junior mortgage, wraparound mortgage or contract for deed.

Cash Flow   the owner's or an individual’s "spendable" income after operating expenses and debt service is deducted.

Caveat emptor  latin for "let the buyer beware." And is a general rule of Real Estate law.   A buyer should do their due diligence and inspect the goods or Realty (Home) before purchase.

CC&R’s   covenants, conditions and restrictions are limitations on land use, which are imposed by deeds, usually when land is subdivided. CC&Rs are a means of regulating building construction, density and use. May be referred to simply as restrictions.

Certificate of Occupancy (CO)   a document issued by a local jurisdiction certifying that all building codes have been met and the property has been properly inspected.

Certificate of eligibility (VA)  a certificate issued by a Veterans Administration regional office to veterans who qualify for a VA loan. The Veteran Housing Act permits regional administrators to restore a veteran's entitlement to loan-guarantee benefits after his or her property purchased with an existing VA-guaranteed loan has been disposed of and 1. this loan has been paid in full; 2. the administrator is released from liability under the guarantee.  The Veterans Housing Act also authorizes regional administrators to restore a veteran/seller's entitlement to loan-guarantee benefits and release the veteran from liability to the VA when another veteran has agreed to assume the outstanding balance on the veteran/seller's existing VA-guaranteed loan and consented to the use of his or her entitlement to the same extent that the veteran/transferor had used the original entitlement. This is not a release from the lender, however. The veteran/transferee and the property must otherwise meet the requirements of the law. Reinstatement of eligibility is never automatic but must always be applied for, preferably at the time of the sale of property purchased with an existing VA-guaranteed loan.

Many veteran/sellers presume that they are eligible for a new VA loan after selling their property by way of a loan assumption. In a loan assumption, the broker should point out that for the seller to have complete VA entitlement restored, the buyer must be a veteran and must agree in the sales contract to substitute his or her entitlement for the seller's.

Certificate of Title    a certificate issued by a title company or a written opinion rendered by an attorney that the seller has good marketable and insurable title to the property, which he is offering for sale. A certificate of title offers no protection against any hidden defects in the title, that an examination of the records could not reveal. The issuer of a certificate of title is liable only for damages due to negligence. The protection offered a homeowner under a certificate of title is not as great as that offered in a title insurance policy.

Certificate of reasonable value (CRV - VA)   a certificate insured by the Veterans Administration setting forth a property's current market value estimate, based on a VA-approved appraisal. The CRV places a ceiling on the amount of a VA-guaranteed loan allowed for a particular property.

Close-of-escrow (closing)  the consummation of a real estate transaction, when the seller delivers title to the buyer in exchange for payment by the buyer of the purchase price. Close of escrow essentially means that a real estate transaction has been completed and that the sale is final.  The actual Closing will not occur until the documents are recorded (County Recorders office) ,  However, under general rules of real estate law, transfer of title takes place upon delivery of the deed to the grantee.

CMA    (Comparative Market Analysis) A service normally provided by real estate agents prior to either listing a property or prior to making an offer to purchase a property on the behalf of a purchaser. The true purpose of a CMA is to establish a current estimated market price of a property. This is accomplished by researching both: the currently listed properties and the most recently sold properties, in the same area, with as similar characteristics as the property in question. This information is usually provided to the homeowner to help them establish a fair market selling price or it may be given to a prospective purchaser to help guide them in a proper offer to make the owner. Some real estate agents perform this service for free others may charge as much as $300 for this information. A lot depends on both who is doing the CMA and also how detailed the information that is provided.

Code of ethics   a written system of standards of ethical conduct. Because of the nature of the relationship between a broker and a client or other persons in a real estate transaction, a high standard of ethics is needed to ensure that the broker acts in the best interests of both his or her principal and any third parties.

Condominium ownership   an estate in real property consisting of an individual interest in an apartment or commercial unit and an undivided common interest in the common areas in the condo project such as the land, parking areas, elevators, stairways, exterior structure and so on. Each condominium unit is a statutory entity that may be mortgaged, taxed, sold or otherwise transferred in ownership, separately and independently of all other units in the condo project. Units are separately assessed and taxed based on the combined value of the individual living unit and the proportionate ownership of the common areas. The unit also can be separately foreclosed upon, in case of default on the mortgage note or other lienable payments. In effect, the condominium permits ownership of a specific horizontal layer of airspace as opposed to the traditional view of vertical property ownership from the center of the earth to the sky. Typically, the unit, the percentage of common interest and the limited common elements are appurtenant to each other and cannot be sold or transferred separately.

Lenders will be required to verify and inspect the borrows’ financial records, income, employment, and debt to income levels (DTI).  In short, the CPFB has placed a "ban on loans that have risky loan features" - such as interest only loans/payments, No income documentation (stated income) or balloon payment/loans and loans with fees that add up to more than 3 percent of the loan amount.  In addition, (according to the Consumer Protection Bureau) these loans must go to qualified borrowers whose debt does not exceed 43 percent of their debt-to-income ratio (DTI) as long as they met the underwriting standards required by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or other U.S. government housing agencies.  - A "qualified mortgage" , is a mortgage loan that upon full verification by the Lending institution,  the verification and the borrower  would automatically be considered compliant with the ability-to-repay requirement by the CFPB.


Consumer Price Index (CPI) - A measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food and medical care. The CPI is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them; the goods are weighted according to their importance. Changes in CPI are used to assess price changes associated with the cost of living CPI is one of the most frequently used statistics for identifying periods of inflation or deflation. This is because large rises in CPI during a short period of time typically denote periods of inflation and large drops in CPI during a short period of time usually mark periods of deflation.

In essence, the contract of sale is an executory contract to convey property, serving as the vehicle to get to the deed, which finally conveys title; it is the blueprint for the entire transaction. Some of the many names for this contract are sales contract, purchase agreement, deposit receipt, offer and acceptance, agreement of sale, offer to lease or purchase and sale agreement.

Conventional loan  (mortgage)   a loan made with real estate as security and not involving government participation in the form of insuring (FHA) or guaranteeing (VA) the loan.  The mortgagee can be an institutional lender or a private party. The loan is conventional in the sense that it conforms to accepted standards and the lender looks solely to the credit of the borrower and the security of the property to ensure payment of the debt.  Because the lender is not subject to the more stringent government regulations of the FHA and VA, conventional loans are frequently more flexible with respect to terms and interest rates, although they do reflect a higher interest rate and larger down payment requirements due to the higher risk involved. Nonconventional loan interest rates (VA loans) are fixed by federal regulation. Conventional loans are subject to institutional regulation, which may be statutory (federal, state) or self-created

Convertible loan   an adjustable-rate loan that the borrower can convert to fixed-rate at any time during the life of the loan

Cooperative Short Sale    proactive approach to the short sale process whereby the short sale is initiated before an offer is made on the property. This is in contrast to a traditional short sale, which begins the process after an offer is received. The proactive approach allows the servicer to gather paperwork and required documents in advance. The servicer provides the homeowner with a suggested list price that is based on the current market value. Examples of a cooperative short sale include Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) and various banks  Cooperative Short Sale Programs

Co-ownership   title ownership held by two or more persons.

Credit Inquiry/Check HARD - is a “hard” credit check that a lender or business may run which does show up on your credit report as an inquiry plus it does affect your credit score.  Anytime that you are actually getting a loan or a new credit card, the lender conducts a "hard pull" on your credit report. This stays on the record. It also lowers your credit score by about five points for six months. For this reason, it is important to guard your credit report from too many hard pulls. If you get a store credit card just to save 10 percent on a single purchase, you have hurt your credit score. That is probably not worth the 10 percent savings. Some banks even use a hard pull if you are opening a savings account, so be sure to check your potential bank’s policy. Additionally, the incentives that credit card companies offer for signing up may not be worth the hit to your credit score.   A good rule of thumb for your credit report is to try to avoid any inquiries that are considered hard pulls. By limiting them your credit will be in good shape and you can qualify for the best interest rate available to you when it comes time for you to apply for a loan that you truly need.

Credit Inquiry/Check SOFT -  is a “soft” credit check which accesses only your credit score. Also known as a "soft pull", is a term used to refer to an inquiry into your credit history that does not adversely affect the credit score.  Often, you are not even aware that there has been a soft inquiry on your credit report. For example, if you receive a solicitation in the mail offering you a credit card, the credit card company has most likely conducted a soft pull to see if you qualify. When mortgage lenders pre-approve you for a loan, they initially use a soft pull. Potential employers use it as a part of background checks, and your current credit card companies use soft inquiries to check up on you. Banks use them to verify that you are who you say you are when opening an account. If you check your own credit report, which you can do for free once a year, this is done with a soft pull. Most of the time, you do not even know when they occur, and they do not affect your credit report.

Credit invisible -  These are persons who have no information on file with any of the nationwide consumer credit reporting agencies. Currently about one in every 10 American adults have no credit history.  As a result, those consumers who have a limited or nonexistent credit history face great hurdles in obtaining credit.

Credit loan   a mortgage issued upon the financial strength of a borrower, without regard for collateral.

Credit report   a document, obtained from a credit repository, indicating an individual's credit circumstances. Used to derive credit scores for borrowers seeking a real estate loan.

Credit repository   organizations that maintain and make available public credit history records.  Lenders use this information from credit repositories to derive credit scores for potential borrowers. (Equifax – Experian - Transunion)

Credit score  a snapshot of a borrower's credit worthiness; a numerical score based on statistics showing the risk of default on a loan; takes into consideration available credit, management of existing credit, and any detrimental credit information.

Credit Unions   credit unions are cooperative organizations whose members place money in savings accounts. In the past, credit unions made only short-term consumer and home improvement loans. Recently, however, they have branched out to originating longer-term first and second mortgages and deed of trust loans…. Credit Unions are considered to be Non-institutional lenders. 

Creditor   the person to whom a debtor owes a debt or obligation; (ie: the lender).

Cul-de-Sac   the terminus of a street or alley. Usually laid out by modern engineers to provide a circular turn around for vehicles.

Cultured Marble  (synthetic/fabricated marble)  is a mixture of fiberglass resin and crushed limestone. It is thoroughly mixed and placed into open molds which are coated with a clear gelcoat. The gelcoat is especially formulated as to produce a tough, durable, non-porous and shiny surface, very stain resistant and easy to maintain.
