I’m often asked what the housing market looks like…lately it has been quite unpredictable. Homes are either sitting or selling and if you had asked me in July how many closings I had coming in August, I would have said 1. However, August brought 4 buyers with 4 very different stories on why they were moving but all had a similar theme of getting the best deals I’ve seen in years!!
-They ALL had their FULL closing costs paid by the seller
-One received a 4.5% interest rate that the seller bought down
-One received 25k in closing costs
-One received $40k off and another $75k off asking price
-Two received all HOA fees paid for the first year
-One received a home inspection paid by the seller which is rare
The bottom line is they were all positioned and ready to write an offer when the timing was right. There were a lot of wins this month and I truly love helping families make these BIG decisions! It’s never too early to plan your next move, being informed and ready is key!
