No Sense of Urgency on the Part of Buyers

Buying A Home, Selling Your Home

Bethesda Real Estate - 6451 Brookes Lane

I had a lot of traffic through my listing on Brookes Lane last weekend and this weekend.  Given that we had 20-30 targeted buyers in that superbly priced listing I thought it would be sold by now!  There is simply no sense of urgency on the part of buyers to jump at property.   They all end up wating and then more than one buyer will want it at the same time.   There’s some sort of weird law of attraction that says as soon as you are interested so is everyone else.  I’ve taken to whispering in listings that my buyers are ready to write on so we can fool the karma somehow

I would love to believe that’s going to work…

Rates are good, supply offers enough choice to make a good decision, homes are priced well.  And yet we all wait.

Sigh.

That is so true, many Buyers don’t sense the urgency.

It’s a strange market, so its harder to read Buyers and Sellers. Our activity is crazy around here lately - even seeing multiple offers!

Looking real good Josette. I might just have to buy this theme too.

We’ve seen multiples here as well and that’s what I keep trying to get across to folks! If they wait they’ll be fighting over the house instead of in the driver’s seat.

Bob, it’s easy to configure and very flexible. Once I find someone to purdy it up it’s going to work just fine.

well every time I meet people here, I’m sure they are very young and don’t know what to say, that’s why they write weird stuff

I wish it were just the very young but unfortunately everyone seems to be affected by the swings in the market. They fail to realize that the micro markets rule…
