This is a lousy real estate market, right? That's what the statistics say... what the media says... what many consumers and agents say.
If that's the case, how come there were four contracts on one home that my clients wanted to buy on Tuesday? It was a beautiful townhome located in Piney Orchard, a planned community in Odenton, MD.
No, I don't think the market has turned around. I DO think the same qualities which always made some homes sell more quickly than others are still doing just that, even today:
PRICE & CONDITION
The home was in awesome condition and priced "right" - an unbeatable combination in any market. Gosh, I wish the owners of my listings would try it!
My buyer clients, who didn't get that popular townhome, are going to make an offer on another one tomorrow morning. Let's hope they have better luck this time.
