Well, it’s time to pat myself on the damn back. Why? Bc I recently got TWO different couples into contract! I first started working with both families (separately) in October… yes, back around Halloween!?!?! Holy. fucking. A. It’s been a very long run. Different price points, criteria, and areas, but both very challenging in that they kept aiming way higher than their budget.
In their defense, yes, this market is confusing bc the list price is often a “teaser” price which means the winning price is usually no where NEAR the list price. This throws people off. a lot. But damn, it was a long process covering several areas, multiple homes, and involving endless conversations about the market. Sigh, we’re finally in! And I could not be happier. One couple closed last month and they’ll take possession at the end of this month. The other couple will close next month on a home that’s just 10 minutes from my house. Of course, it’s not a done deal until closing but I am taking a breather.
