What are today’s consumers most concerned with when it comes to buying and selling real estate?
Value. Value. Value. Today’s buyers are savvy, knowledgeable, and are buying for resale. They are not only buying “to fit their needs”, but they are also “buying out of fear”. Does this neighborhood have good schools? Will the neighbor next door ever repair his roof? Does this house back to a busy street? Does it front a school? If the house fits their needs and all the other variables create a feeling of security…they will buy and (everyone take a deep breath)…THEY WILL PAY MARKET VALUE! Market Value is at a low and they know that!
