A $70,000 discount sounds like a win… but was it actually a good deal? 🤔
Here’s what most “my buyers saved $70K!” posts won’t tell you 👇
🏠 Listed at $700K, sold at $630K. Looks like a huge discount. But if comparable homes were already selling for $620–630K, nobody saved anything. It was simply listed too high, and the market corrected it.
🔄 Now flip it: listed at $599K, sold at $615K. Did the buyer overpay? Not necessarily. If comparable sales support $625K, that price can still be a smart buy.
💡 The asking price is just a starting number chosen for the listing. It’s not a measure of a successful negotiation.
What I actually look at for my buyers:
✅ What the home is really worth
✅ What comparable homes have sold for
✅ The terms my buyer gets
Thinking about buying and want to understand the real numbers behind an asking price? Send me a message and I’ll walk you through it.
📌 Save this for your next home search and share it with someone who’s house hunting.
