buyers market: “Wow, Buying a New Home is a Lot of Give and Take” - 01/28/12 10:48 PM
“Wow, Buying a New Home is a Lot of Give and Take”
There’s something pretty profound in that statement, and no doubt something many buyers have discovered.
Some have not.
One of my clients just said this the other day. Thank goodness it was part of the reality.
As real estate professionals dealing with numerous people looking for a new home, whether their first or not, we know that there are always trade offs.
“There is no such thing as a perfect home.”
How many times have we quoted that to clients, or at … (14 comments)

buyers market: Cardiff-by-the-Sea Real Estate - Cardiff Real Estate Market Report for March 2010 - 04/04/10 10:38 PM
As a buyer or seller in the Cardiff real estate market, having information about the current market conditions will enable you to make an informed decision regarding what to do with regard to buying a home in Cardiff, or selling your Cardiff home.

buyers market: The Buyer's Market: It's Over-Rated - 05/05/09 11:15 AM

I think the Buyer's Market is over-rated.
Before you get your britches in a bunch, hear me out.
Saying it's a buyer's market, as a general rule, overlooks those markets, and niches, where this is clearly not the case.
Calling it a buyer's market gives buyers a false sense of security. They think they are always in the driver's seat, calling all the shots, and can get homes for 10%, 20% or more off the … (99 comments)

buyers market: You Wanna Sell Your Home or Not? (Are You Testing the Waters?) Part 2 of 2 - 12/19/06 01:09 AM
Here's part 2 of my short series on strategies for SERIOUS SELLERS (if you missed Part 1...).
Consider a home inspection before you list - It's important to learn about problems your home might have (especially if you have owned your home for more than a few years) and take care of these issues, particularly defects that are obvious. Defects that are noticeable are troubling to buyers and often convince them there are other unseen issues, which will translate into a lower offer...or no offer.
Be flexible - You certainly don't need to allow showings 24/7 but don't restrict them to just a few hours … (4 comments)

buyers market: Selling in a Buyer's Market - LONG post - 10/31/06 10:23 AM
If you are in a situation when you really need to sell (e.g., relocation, change in family status, bought another home), and are not just listing your home to test the market and see if you can sell, here are some strategies to get you started, now that the market has shifted to become much more buyer friendly. While these are in no particular order, PRICE is probably most important.
Price your home competitively – now is NOT the time to try to get what your neighbor got for her identical house a year ago, or 6 months ago…it won’t happen. The comparables … (2 comments)
