Sure, It is a Buyers Market... But not all Sellers are stupid or desperate!

Over the past few weeks I have had the opportunity to work with several buyer clients. A couple of these folks really got me to wondering...was it me or them?

There is this Kinkos commercial on TV where this genius brings in black and white originals and wants color copies made for the boss. Although the Kinkos employee explains several times that he has black and white so his copies will be black and white, he still insists on color copies. Some folks, don't get it. Some buyers in this market do not get it....

One guy wanted to look at $700,000 plus homes and offer $500,000. There are some sellers who may be desperate but in Viera and Suntree you are not getting that kind of deal! One buyer wants to offer around $200,000 for a $270,000 property. Now neither of these targeted properties is a short sale or pre-foreclosure - No fire sale here.

So, I must ask again ....what are some buyers thinking?

This is a great time to get a nice property at a very attractive price but in Suntree and Viera, they ain't giving them away! Many times folks come into our Florida area looking for a retirement home or a vacation or holiday (for our European friends) home which is understandable. Coming from out of the area, please rely on your real estate agent to tell you the truth....If homes are being given away, I will be the first in line. I will let you know when it happens!

Looking to buy a home in Viera, Suntree, Rockledge or North Melbournem Florida...please give me a call. Feel free to email me and request listings be emailed to you...no obligation, free!
