Northern Neck News Real Estate August

 

Well here it is the first of August and summer is flying by here in the Northern Neck.
I really wish I could tell you that I understand this real estate market but I can't. Interest rates are below 5%, money is available, and it is a Buyers' Market but properties are still slow to move.
Here is a
. That home was on the market for 404 days. It sold for $370,000 and was originally listed for $489,000.

Some August Events

6 First Friday Kilmarnock
7 Farmer's Market Irvington
14 Skipjack Cruise on Claud W Sommers from the Reedville Fisherman's Musuem
21 Heathsville Farmer's Market
21 Movies Under the Moon - Irvington
28 Farmer's Market Kilmarnock

 I think the buyer got a great deal. Houses in this area are in the $600,000 to $800,000 range. Not that people are rushing in to buy them but that is the price the seller is hoping to get.

Now here is another one. This one is comparable to the one that sold for $370,000. It has been on the market for almost 9 months. It was originally listed at $470,000. It's now listed for $399,000 and I would think it could be bought for $370,000 or less. I'd love to have a client offer $325,000 and see where it would go.
The point I'm trying to make here is that it is a good time to capitalize off of this market but you can't do it if you don't make an offer.

There are sellers out there that will consider a low offer not because they have to sell but because they want to move on.

I appreciate you taking the time to read my updates and remember to keep searching the Northern Neck MLS. Something might be there and you might want to make an offer.
