What do you think of the price difference between 2 homes in the same community?The first house is by

Asked Thu Apr 24 2008, 14:42 by buyer - 98021 - Home Buying - 9 answers

Greg Perry answered:

The first answer here was good. The lower priced home suffers in 2 areas of economic obsolescence. 1. Power lines and 2. On a busy street. This property is somewhat distressed. Also, you're looking at almost 1/2 the lot size.

As markets rise, somewhat desperate buyers grab everything. When markets decline, homes with issues are the last ones to sell. The Seller may find he/she must reduce more than they thought possible to be successful.

Buyers are always better off buying in the best location possible location and should always consider their future resale into their purchase.

As for the Seller holding "firm" on the first house......Here's a law of negotiation, "Time is the enemy of the Seller"

If the home is priced right for the market it will sell. If not, that Seller will be bargaining. (Unless his goal is to NOT SELL). The market (this means you!) does not care what the Seller's financial condition is. If the Seller is upside down, they'll have to make up the difference or negotiate with their bank.

Most areas are currently Buyer's markets. You hold the advantage! - Sat Jun 14 2008, 08:38

Will condo compete with apartments in the rental market?

Asked Fri Sep 28 2007, 23:22 by Jason - New Tacoma - Market Conditions - 7 answers

Greg Perry answered:

Hi Jason
To help you determine the rental value of your condo, have a property management group do a rental market analysis for you. Be sure to factor your homeowners dues into the equasion. The property management company should be able to give you complete rental market information on what is currently available and curent supply and demand ratios. In addition, check out the rentals in craigslist and the newspaper. When all the research is done, consider running a "blind" ad on craigslist with a good description to see how many calls you're getting and what kinds of calls you're getting.

Good luck! - Sat Sep 29 2007, 08:19

When evaluating the price of a property, whether to sell or buy, do you consider only sold properties?

Asked Sun Jul 15 2007, 06:41 by Deborah Madey… - All locations - Home Selling - 12 answers

Greg Perry answered:

Sold properties are past history. They are one of the pieces of critical information. In my opinion, solds are less important than actives and pendings. Actives and pendings tell you the market absorption and sales ratio of an area. To see more, see the referenced web article. - Sun Jul 15 2007, 07:50
