What buyers Want
You would think that buyers would be thrilled with lower prices AND GREAT rates but they want MORE. Those great ingredients don’t necessarily translate into confidence that prices won’t continue to drop. They want three things and three things only:
A good value. Condition. Location.
You can thank HGTV and House hunters for some of this. Buyers are watching other buyers from around the world pick the house that is in great condition, at the lowest price and the best location. MOST buyers do not want to deal with contractors so even if you price your home without granite and updated bathrooms, they’ll pass it up if they can, or they’ll kill you with price if they have to do the work. You can’t change your location—but you have total control over your price and your condition.
