Being Reasonable

Rising real estate inventories are presenting buyers with more options and sellers with more competition. If you price a home reasonably, buyers will buy. If buyers make a reasonable offer, sellers will sell. For sellers, pricing is still the biggest factor in a listing's success or failure. Sellers, buyers and real estate agents all stand to lose from an overpriced property.

A buyer’s negotiating skills are critical. Contrary to widespread media reports of sellers panicking under the weight of foreclosure, most sellers are in fact in good enough shape to wait for a fair offer.

Buyers and sellers are still coming together in record numbers that would have been unthinkable just ten years ago. Most home sales are taking place due to traditional reasons: job relocation, growing families, retirement, or downsizing.

Your best insurance for a satisfactory sale or purchase is with the knowledge and skills of a professional representative. If you're unsure about our local market, schedule a cost-free, obligation-free consultation with an agent you know and trust. Then move with confidence!
