Just because a listing looks like a deal on paper doesn’t mean a thing these days.
Buyers want value. They want extras. They want to feel good.
They want a manageable floor plan that flows, a house that’s ready to move-in with a decent yard where they can watch the kids grow up. Schools, culdesac, three-car, south-facing, one-story, newer, older, character….the list goes on and on.
The great news: If that’s what you are selling, you’ll get top dollar.
The not-so-great news: If that’s not what you are selling, you really need to work on your price.
What a strange floorplan. What do you do with that small front room? Or the alcove between the stairs and the dining room wall?
Jim, this post can be summarized by saying it is a buyer’s market. The south facing backyard criteria alone eliminates 75% of the potential houses if you assume each direction is equally likely.
Under 7… YIKES!
The floor’s the limit! 😉
