Great advice and so very true. If you want to buy a home in a cretain area, then it is reasonable to expect it is going to cost what homes in that area cost...

Richard Weisser Coweta Fayette Real Estate:
Anyone that has ever sold real estate for a living has had this happen more frequently than you would expect:
A buyer views a house in their price range and deems it as perfect except for one minor issue…
They want the house to be somewhere else!
And even though the mantra of “location, location, location” has been chanted so many times that it is embedded in the psyche of nearly everyone, buyers often overlook the underlying principle that drives the value of real estate:
If more people WANT to live there for ANY reason, the property will cost more.
If more people DON’T want to live there, prices will be lower.
Even in a so-called “buyer’s market,” many people are looking for quality homes at fair prices. And competition for the best houses is intense.
So one has to either adjust their expectations or be willing to pay the market price for the property that they wish to make their home!
It is a simple principle that is often overlooked.
But it is an inescapable truth!

It's interesting the things you hear in this market. They will tell you they can't believe the prices and then find fault with an incredibly priced home for some inane reason.
Marsha, it seems that sometimes people want to believe in fairy tales or myths. It is our job to help client make informed decisions based upon facts and current market conditions. Sounds much easier than it is though LOL
