The mantra location, location, location was certainly applicable back in the day when houses were built one at a time and scattered across the countryside.
But in today’s world of master planned subdivisions, each with schools in the neighborhood as well as walking trails, playgrounds, splash parks and recreation centers, is the location of one of these cookie cutter neighborhoods so much better than another that the mantra about location still deserves to be the primary consideration when looking for a home?
My buyers still want a neighborhood that is above a reasonable standard but it isn’t the primary thing they clamor for.
My buyers mantra is upgrades, upgrades, upgrades!
The big box stores and TV shows have done their job well. Buyers have an almost insatiable desire for every upgrade imaginable.
And younger buyers coming out of today’s apartments (see my post http://activerain.com/blogsview/4742603/you-want-me-to-move-into-that- ) already have stainless, granite and crown molding. They are looking for heated bath room floors, gourmet kitchens and all the other goodies available today.
So lets’ make you king or queen for the day. Do you declare that location is still worthy of being the primary mantra of real estate or what would you declare as the new mantra to replace location, location, location?
