Success comes with a price.......(and a strategy)

If recent headlines about a cooling housing market and diminished buyer demand have you worried that you’ve missed your chance to sell, here’s what you need to know: People are still buying homes. There are a lot of buyers out there looking for the perfect home. When they find the perfect home, they are willing to pay for it! Need proof? Here’s a success story from one of my transactions that closed this week: 2611 Filbert St List Price: $5,595,000 The sellers received a very strong pre-emptive offer after 1 weekend on the market. However, with multiple interested parties, their strongest negotiating position was to hold off on accepting that offer and instead give everyone a chance to come to the table.  Their patience paid off.  The result: 4 offers Sales Price: $6,550,000 $955,000 above the asking price and WAY above the initial offer! Remember: real estate is hyper localized, even within markets and neighborhoods! While things have cooled a bit, demand for “good homes” that are well prepared and nicely presented are still very high. If you work with a savvy agent who understands negotiating and the nuances of a hyper localized market, your home should sell quickly.  Are you, or someone you know, ready to move?
