Where did all the Home Buyers go?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

You have a perfect listing, it is priced to sell, it is in like new condition. The goal is to get the most potential buyers there right away. It is in the middle of summer, it is hot and lots of people are on vacation. You place the ads, you enable your best marketing and to many people's amazement, you get 6 buyers show up to see the home the first day. You set showings up every 30 minutes, some come early, some stay late, they all seem to be there at the same time, and then they all disappear....

 

Where did they go?

 

The neighbor has 2 new puppies, the cutest Golden Retriever dogs you have ever seen. The quick answer was "they were meeting the neighbors."

 

 If you clicked the story thinking the market is heading for the hills, not quite. It has slowed from our spring time rush, but remains steady. Not all new listings are selling though and the difference seems to be the effort the agent puts into selling it. 

 

YOU deserve the BEST service when Buying or Selling a home

 
 

LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. 

 

In summary, the key to having a successful purchase or sale can increase simply choosing one of the BEST Agents. In NH that could be me.  

  

   

 

 

It does not take magic to turn your "For Sale" sign into a "Sold" sign. It takes a full time Local Agent who specializes in Listing homes like yours.

OMG Scott Godzyk They went to the beach. If I was a buyer I would like the lower competition and would be out there with bells on.

Hi Scott - We're slowing a bit here too, but at least we don't have to compete with Golden Retriever puppies :)

The slowdowns happen. There's back to school for many buyers and sellers to think of right now. This stuff happens.

Real estate markets tend to ebb and flow.  We are still experiencing  a shortage of inventory here in Sacramento.  And, multiple offers on homes are frequent.

End of the summer with hurry up and go on vacation!  But there are still buyers out there, I have actually seen an uptick in the last couple of weeks.  Tax free days this coming weekend for school supplies, shoes and clothes too.  We have lots of competition for people's attention this time of the year!  Have a great week!

Smart consumers are taking advantage of the very low mortgage interest rates.
