June 2007
|
|

Memorial Day is past, June
is here and summer in the Northern Neck has officially started. It's hard to
believe but I think more people were here this year then last year.
|
| The
fishing and crabbing have been good so far and as usual life is good here in the
Northern Neck. |
| I am always asked
how's the real estate market. If it's someone local that ask, I tell him or
her that it's OK. If it is someone away from here I tell them that if the
property is priced right it sells. |
| Here's
what's happening today. There are a lot of buyers and prospective buyers looking
at property. They are out here kicking tires and the ones that are negotiating
prices like they would when buying a car are getting some great deals. |
| In the past buyers
have made an offer and the seller makes a counteroffer. In most cases if the
buyer wanted the property he would accept the counteroffer. Today the buyer
might counter that offer and the seller accepts. |
| On May 24th, 2007
The Wall Street Journal Online had an article that said new-home sales soared in
April and that it was the largest increase in 14 years (this is month to month
not year to year). They credited this to
lower prices.
|
|
There's a mentality
here in the Northern Neck that I can price my home high and always come
down. I think that's a terrible mistake. Today's consumer is smart and
with tools like the Internet the consumer is educated; they know when
the property is too high. As a result the seller gets no action on
their property and they have to dramatically reduce the price.
|
| The point
I'm trying to make is this. When you're searching for property in the
Northern
Neck MLS remember most things are
NEGOITABLE.
|
| Here is a
link to my June Real
