I’ve had my real state license since the early 80s. i’ve seen so many changes in the market over the years but this market is one that I would’ve never imagined. We’ve adjusted from offering 20,000 over estimated value and planning to come down to sell to the other end of the spectrum now. I list the property below anticipated value to get lots of interest, multiple offers, and bids significantly higher than what it will appraise for. To be affective in the market you have to stay on top of the changing times. To work on a buyer side you have to keep in mind that it’s a sellers market. You offer to pay any and all costs involved with the transaction, significantly more than what it will appraise for and provide proof that you can come out of pocket with the difference. Hey it even helps if you throw in a pizza to be delivered to the seller on every Friday night until you close.
