Buyers, Sellers and “Listers”
Buyer’s often ask the question “What should I offer?” before they find a specific house that they want to place an offer on. They want to know the formula for the list price verses the actual purchase price that they will pay. They ask questions like “If we shop in the $400,000 range, what price do you think we can get it for?” I always respond the same. It depends on the house and if it is priced correctly. How long has the house been on the market at this price? This is a more important question than, “How long has the house been on the market?”
Home owners don’t have to price their home correctly, they just won’t sell their house until they do. Maybe we should just call them “Listers”. Unlike sellers, “Listers” waste an agents time and inflate the price’s of other “Listers”.
Question’s that I ask a home owner that says they want to sell is “Do you want to list your home, or sell it?” Do you want to be a lister or a seller? When do you want me to start telling you the truth?
Once I have explained to a buyer that selling prices are set by the market and not the sellers or their agent, I will let them know that sellers and their agents will list property (incorrectly) based upon other criteria. They will list based upon the debt on the property, what they paid, the improvements that they have done, the amount that their neighbor (a lister) has listed at, what they need or want to have to be able to fulfill their future plans etc. This is a mistake that will cost the Listers money in the long run, if they ever sell.
Keep in mind that a lister is in charge of what price they will ask, but the buyer will decide how much the house will sell for. Listers are different than sellers, because they don’t need to sell.
We have a lot of Listers in our current market. With 911 homes on the market and only 56 closings in the past 30 days, it appears that we have about 6% sellers and 94% Lister’s.
One thing is for sure, you can sell your house if you are willing to price it correctly.
So, back to the question, “What should I offer?”
Once you have found that house you want to buy, the question really is, what is the current market value?
- Spend time looking at homes in the area that you want to buy.
- Have your agent show you recent comparable sales.
- Be reasonable based upon the information that you have collected.
- Ask your agent their opinion.
- Have your agent contact the seller/Lister’s agent to see if there has been any activity previously that will help understand the seller’s motivation.
Please call me if you are a seller or a buyer……….

Negotiating with a Bank is Like Eating a Sandwich with an Alligator.
Banks don’t use much logic or emotion when they are selling homes. Once they get you in the deal, they usually want everything to go their way. They aren’t good about changing the price, extending the escrow or negotiating repairs.
If you are not willing to play the game under their rules, you might as well just find a different home. All negotiating needs to be done before you sign the bank addendum that is sent out after you place the offer. I recommend getting inspections done immediately after you send the offer to the listing agent and they give you the verbal acceptance. This will give you time to ask for items that are needed on the bank addendum.
Ideally you’ve looked at the home closely . You and your real estate agent have noticed all of the minor items and figured these items into the price offered. Banks really want the deal to be over when the addendum is returned and signed off by both parties.
Days on the market is very important on bank owned homes. Bank owned homes that are price correctly, sell in weeks not months. Some of the best deals can be made on bank owned homes that are either just listed, or have been on the market for over 100 days. The bank owned homes that have been on the market for over 3 months, have possibly become stale to most buyers and agents. These properties may have the best opportunity since not as much activity is taking place and the chance of competing with another buyer is less that a newly listed bank owned.
Sales prices are still, and always will be, controlled by the market. Most buyers will need to get a loan to purchase the property. Now more than ever, lenders will want an accurate appraisal. Homes that are priced over market value will not be able to get financing.
