Are we in a sellerās market? Are we in a buyerās market?
What I can tell you is, there are some sellerās who think we are in 2020-2021 crazy sellers market. And we are not.
Buyerās think itās 2008 and they can ask for the moon, stars, and all the planets with their offers. And itās not that market.
Truth is, inventory is up. Buyerās have options. So what matters is the little things that will set your home apart.
For Sellers that means, Making sure the curb appeal is there (first impressions matter), Making sure the home is cleaned and move in ready. Knowing you need to be priced competitively, and knowing buyers may offer under list price or ask for closing costs.
For Buyers that means that we have leverage to ask for certain things, like concessions, a home warranty, to have the home professionally cleaned, etc. but it doesnāt mean we can offer a ridiculous amount, or ask for a million things.
Itās important to have an agent who keeps up to date on whatās happening, who knows how to negotiate for you, and get you to the closing table. By the way co-oping with the other agent is so important too and a whole subject in itself.
If youāre thinking of buying or selling Iād love to help come up with a strategy to get you the most as a seller and to get you the best deal as a buyer.
