Union County Homes

5 Days, 16 Showings, 2 Offers, 1 Contract

We negotiated a contract on a new listing today. It had been on the market for only 5 days, and had 16 showings. 2 offers came in today.

Offer #1 - close to list price, but unappealing terms.

Offer #2  - slightly lower than offer #1, but more appealing terms.

 

Guess who got the deal? 

If you guessed Offer #2, you're right.

 

Buyers beware - if you love a home, it's not going to be there while you play games. If you're going to make an offer, make sure it's your best offer or you will lose the home.

 

Sellers beware - If you want to sell your home, it had better be ready to show on Day 1! The first showings are the most productive, and serious buyers are ready to move.
