Ch-Ch-Changes!
It’s time to make a change people! Actually, the people already have changed. The old gray mare just ain’t what she used to be, that’s for sure. There’s a lot of talk about how the real estate market is changing, but the change that I’m seeing most is a shift in buyer sentiment. It used to be that buyers just loved a good fixer-upper – or at least, a lot of buyers did. Not anymore! It seems that nobody wants a fixer-upper these days – buyers are expecting a steep, steep discount for taking on a fixer-upper project. The demand for entrepreneurial profit is so much higher these days! If you’ve got a house to sell, you’ll really want to make sure that it is as close to turn-key condition as you can get it, because if it’s not, buyers are going to want a discount of 2x or even 3x what those repairs are going to cost you. Mark my words – and heed them!
