There is a buyer out there for every house . You just have to find him/her

If a home is priced slightly below the comps in the area it will sell. I am not suggesting a very low price but just enough to make it appealing to a buyer. Most people love a bargain. Over the years I have had listings with features that some did not like and yet the person who bought it liked the same features.

Here are some examples:

1. A house with a First floor bedroom. One feedback was the person did not feel secure sleeping on the first floor. Yet the person who bought it was looking for a first floor bedroom.

2. Two story family room.One person said it is a waste of energy. (heating bills) The buyer who bought it loved the two story family room

3.Walk out basement. Some were scared to have an exit from the basement. The buyer loved to be able to entertain in the basement so that kids could play in the yard etc.

4.Small yard. Some want a large yard yet there are some who do not want to mow a large yard and want something small.

5.Home on busy street. Most people like a quiet street.There are some who do not mind it if it is on a bus route so they can take public transportation with the bus at the door and if there are stores they can walk to.

The listing agent can market accordingly and find buyers for your home.

I absolutely agree with you, but once in a very blue moon it just does not work that way. Right now we have a listing, comparables come out to $490,000 give the current market where everybody buys for less than comparable market value, we have priced it at $ 379,000 YES, that is right.

We have about 10 showing in a week for 3 month now, people just do NOT like the floor plan.

Real estate is a numbers game, with our agressive advertising and marketing the property we will find a buyer, but it might just take a little longer.

Everyone has different wants and needs. Thank goodness they do or we would have a whole world of cookie cutter houses. how boring would that be? Even if you don't like a home doesn't mean someone else won't.

You are absolutely right; there is a buyer for every house. Each home has something special to offer.

Gita- Yep, people do look for different things.....and as we all know, everyone doesn't have the same needs as you mentioned. It's hard to market this though if the Agent who reads the MLS, or other Marketing doesn't know their client enough to match the house to their needs. And this happens all the time....:)

Ann, Thank you for the comments. I agree with you but there must be someone out there with the same taste as the seller who liked it when he bought it. Good luck.

Michael , Thank you.

Rebecca, That is what I tell the sellers when they are discouraged. We have to think positive. Ofcourse pricing and staging are important.

Kathy, I agree. Sometimes buyers themselves do not know what they want.

Buyers do look for different things. You never know what buyers want. One day they want a Victorian. Ten minutes later they see a townhouse and they suddently now want to buy a townhouse. Can you please make up your mind home buyer? Great post Gita.

My broker says "there's a bottom for every seat, and a seat for every bottom...the trick is in finding the match!" LOL

Lanre, Thank you.

Karen, I like the quote. Thanks for sharing.

Gita, Thank goodness for "la difference" It would be pretty boring if we all liked the same thing in a home, Karen

Karen, I agree. Thanks for the comments.

Gita as the saying goes there is an $#$ for every seat or buyer for every home:)

Bill, Thank you for the comments.

i agree 100% that's why there are so many types of homes. With this bad market, agents need to look for the listings that the buyers are looking for!

Richard, Thank you for reading my post.Wish you good luck.

I agree. I have had a number of people through opens (as well as feedback from agents) with varying views on a listing. Those who make the decision to buy feel an appeal in the home of their choice; it just feels like the right home for them. The key is to get maximum exposure for your listings; the right buyer is out there.

Jon, Thank you and I agree. We only need one buyer for the house.
