Like The Good Old Days
September 20th, 2011 Categories:Coral Gables Real Estate
I am working with two transactions that have multiple offers right now which reminds me of the good old days during the boom.
It happens more often than not that a property has buyers who are circling but not ready to pull the trigger. Once an offer is submitted, the property immediately becomes much more desirable. It is no secret that people want what they can’t have. Both of these properties were on the market for quite some time without much activity, but once that initial offer came in it was great motivation for the other buyers to get off the fence.
Many times buyers are waiting for price reductions or for the sellers to become more motivated, but sometimes that plan can backfire.
