It is tough out there. All sorts of weird things going on!
Buyers asking for closing cost...correction DEMANDING closing cost. Sellers not wanting to pay for traditional seller cost like surveys. Title companies not requiring surveys.........it's just weird.
When a seller is having to pay 4, 5, or 6 thousand dollars in closing cost he is not readily going to pay for those things we are used to having them pay without a peep. Every hundred dollars that sellers can save is a victory in their mind and adds to that bottom line they always thought they would be able to expect.
And careful how you write that offer .....words count today more than ever. Recently we went round in circles because a Realtor used the verbiage " swings." My clients version of that same object was Fort and Jungle Jim. Fortunately, all was resolved and we moved on to a happy conclusion.
Exasperating ? Indeed yes! My conclusion is that it is the BUYERS MARKET we are in ! Nobody seems to be able to get their heads wrapped about that fact. And also the fact that the way things used to be done just does not matter any more.Do we like it ? No ! But it does explain how contentious things are even among Realtors? That would be YES !
