Buyers, consider this Before Signing the Offer to Purchase

There are many reasons why some homes listed "For Sale" remain on the market longer than others. Sometimes it can be a busy road and that often means noise that penetrates thru doors and walls. Other times it can be property that is too close to industrial businesses; perhaps the builder has had a poor reputation; maybe it's the zoning or there have been issues with the house that are quite well publicized. Other times it can be the house was totally beat up by the previous owners before it went back to the bank and on the market. These reasons and others can extend the amount of time it takes to sell a house.

Here is what I have always told my buyers when they think they have found the right house that has been on the market for an extended period of time!

  • This may really be the house for you. Be aware, the same reason or reasons this house has been on the market for six months, a year, however long  it has been listed, is in all probability the same reason or reasons when you go to sell (if you buy this house) it will be on the market for an extended amount of time all over again".

What I penned above is almost always true. The one exception from above might be a beat up house can often be restored with some effort and won't be obviously scarred to prospective buyers.

Does this mean you shouldn't buy the house? No, but it does mean, "Buyer Beware". Know that your love for this house, your purchasing it, pampering it and caring for it will not speed up the process of selling it all over again when you are ready to move. The same reasons that kept it on the market before will probably keep it on the market for an extended period of time all over again.

Knowledge can be Power when trying to Buy a House

If you scan the ads in the paper, monitor internet advertisements and review listings in the Multiple Listing Service, sometimes, just sometimes, you might see a listing begin or end with the description, "Motivated Seller." Now we all know that at times, the use of this phrase can be nothing more than slick advertising while other times it is genuine, truthful marketing. Personally, I often take this to mean the seller IS really hoping to find a buyer. For a prospective buyer that can be great news when getting ready to make an offer!

I've discovered a seller's incentive to be a "Motivated Seller" can originate from a variety of possible reasons. Perhaps there has been an ARM Mortgage involved and the sellers can no longer afford the ever increasing payment structure or, for whatever reason cannot refinance their house. Maybe it is a couple that is divorcing and the sale is part of the settlement. Possibly it is a grown child trying to sell the home of a parent who has recently passed away. Sometimes a job reassignment is the reason for selling, while other times perhaps someone has lost a job in the family and now the mortgage payments are simply too high.

Whatever the incentive, a true "Motivated Seller" is more likely to negotiate on price and terms. This type of seller might take far less than the asking price or be willing to make major concessions in order to seal the deal. If the buyer is looking to act and move quickly this can also be a means of not haggling over price and quickly reaching a deal.

In reality, there are few sellers who like to publicize the fact that they need to sell a home so desperately. As a result, it is up to you and your real estate agent to do a little research. Ask, is the house vacant? Find out how long the home has been on the market. See if the price has been reduced. By all means, do the obvious - ask the seller or his agent why the home is up for sale. Maybe they will and maybe they won't tell you, but it never hurts to ask. The answer may help you judge how far you can undercut the asking price or what kind of terms you can request. Knowledge can be power when trying to buy a house.
