OBSERVATIONS

Ok so we had 5 homes go under contract this week. One short sale that was under contract came back on the market.

Lets look at what went under contract. 3 bank owned properties that were priced to go. 2 regular sales that were way overpriced. These overpriced listings will not sell for how much they are going for. We will have the final numbers once they close.

There are a couple good deals out there in Penderbrook and I am working with at least 3 buyers now and possibly a 4th to buy in Penderbrook.

There are still a lot of short sales that are not approved by the bank. These can waste your time and you can miss out on your home if you wait for one. I suggest asking us first to see if it is worth your time. We can find out a lot of info on the property to see if it can close in less than 2 months or not. And even then, short sales can sometimes get dragged along without anything we can do. We are just at the mercy of the banks and if they are willing to sell at that price.

We would be honored to work with you to sell your home or help you buy. Our job is to serve you and meet your needs. We would not get so many referrals as we do if we screwed over our clients. We have your interest at mind and are here to guide you and give you advice.
