Newnan Homes for SaleAs inventory declines, and sales prices moderate, the attitudes of both buyers and sellers must adapt to the marketplace.

There are few “good” properties available, and they vanish in a day or two. Buyers no longer have the luxury of agonizing over a purchase decision for a week or more.

And with multiple offers, sellers no longer have to cave to ever demand instigated by a would-be purchaser.

Location, price and condition are still the three dominant attributes that attract buyers. If you’re three for three in that department, you will immediately have multiple offers. If you’re two for three, you will have showings and if you’re one for three it had better be price!

The market has spoken.

Great post-- the supply of apprehension and cynacism has been replaced by the demand for a sense of urgency and action.

Hi Richard,   Well said.  Our bottom end inventory is drying up and buyers seem shocked to hear that the market is trying to show some price support.

I see this attitude adjustment all the time, people not believing that multiple offers coming in, dozens and dozens of people at the first open house.  It takes losing out on a few nice properties before the new attitude takes hold.

Richard,
You are spot on with this.  When you try to explain this to buyers they are surprised and have to learn the hard way that it's the truth of the market right now!

Hi Richard.   Sometimes it takes awhile for buyers to understand that there is a shift.

I like the shift in the market although it's a bit too biased in favor of sellers in our area.  It's nice to see that buyers in particular don't have forever to make up their minds.  A little pressure is a good thing.

Real Estate is LOCAL.  My home town things are selling fast.  10 miles away, there is a glut of homes.

Richard:

Oh yes, the market has surely changed.  Buyers need to realize that it is now a seller's market.  No more low ball offers and no more demanding conditions.

So, so true. Have had a couple buyers recently lose out on a house or two because they waited to make a decision. The market is definitely changing!!

A very welcome change for sellers.  Here's to hoping the market bounces all the way back.

Richard, Some markets are getting scarce. Others are not. Location. location, location.

Richard...couldn't have said it better myself, Price, Location, and Condition.   I find myself in multiple offer sitautions daily, inventory shrinking, new home building on the rebound, not as many foreclosures.  Although market conditons are local, all indications are pointing to an even better '13...

Location, location, location. It still tops here...price then condition next.
