WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD HOUSES GONE????
So here is the deal.I have had clients that say they are NO good homes and that one's they like always end up with multiple bids. I empathized, but never really grasped the idea fully until the tables were turned.
So I am out looking for a home and some of the towns we have considered have been: Trumbull, Monroe, Newtown and Orange and Woodbridge (biggest reason we decided on these towns were the school districts all rated 8,9 and 10 according to Greatschools.
So I am not picky, (at least I thought I wasn't) - until I go out and everything we have come across has one thing or another. So, I gave myself the advise I give others: THERE IS NO PERFECT HOUSE - get the one that meets most of what you are looking for and make it your own - good advise right, sounds like I had this moment of true wisdom.
We look some more and still. We have seen a lot of homes and still. We finally see one and NOT perfect - but we liked it. Listed way to high - so we offer and wait. NO GO.
So I ask
WHERE IS THE INVENTORY?
WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD HOUSES GONE????
The truth is that I need to adjust my mindset -and I think buyers in my situation may agree -otherwise I will be searching for a very long time to find missed opportunities that would have been good places to settle down in.
Note to seller's: staging is important to highlight features and fellow agent's Pictures are important - like really important.
