Find a Pearl River Market That Isn’t Waiting
Buyer Beware: Strategies That Get You Nowhere
Anyone
who is buying a house in Pearl River -- or even just checking up on the market -- is likely
to find that some of the rules of the game seem to have shifted. Particularly
anyone expecting to be deluged by the kind of amazing deals being offered in
2008 and 2009 should see what I mean.
As
the latest housing statistics continue to paint an upbeat picture, at least
when it comes to bargain-priced properties, the days of multiple bids and
‘offers over asking’ are back. If you
are weighing the advantages of buying a house in Pearl
River before interest rates and prices rise in earnest, it should be
useful to take a look at some strategies that work -- and some that virtually
never work:
1)
Blanket
Low-balling – Running around writing up a bunch of low-ball offers is a
surefire way to get yourself ignored, or worse, miss out on an otherwise great
property. A better approach? Work with a
knowledgeable agent whose expertise in Pearl Riverneighborhoods
will allow you to check on the most recent comps, then write a serious offer.
2)
Dismissing
Imperfect Properties – The degree of your success in
buying a house in Pearl River can depend on starting out with a reality check: only very rarely is a property totally perfect for you and
priced absolutely right.
3)
Highest
and Best - Unfortunately, the tempting low prices listed for some Pearl River bank-owned homes also means that it’s
increasingly common to encounter the dreaded “multiple offer situation.” If you find yourself there, be prepared to submit
your highest and best offer first -- you may not have another shot.
This
changing market doesn’t mean we are headed into the kind of fever-induced
‘bubble’ we saw in the mid- 2000’s. But
for those seeking a deal and waiting for the bottom of the market before buying
a house in Pearl River, the market does not
seem to be waiting. 2013 is clearly the time to jump in! Give me a call…soon!!!
